Mount the baby unit (optional)

**** NOTES

• Check for reception strength and camera angle before drilling the holes.  Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top and the bottom holes as shown. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit). If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
  -OR-
  If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall.
  
  Align the wall mount bracket and screws with the holes in the wall as shown. Tighten the screw in the middle hole first, so that the wall mount bracket position is fixed. You can tighten the other screw in the top hole. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit.
  OR
  
  Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks into place.

The default angle of the wall mount bracket is 90 degrees. You can maximize your baby unit’s viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket. Hold the baby unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket. Tilt your baby unit up or down to adjust to your preferred angle. Then, rotate the knob in clockwise direction to tighten the joint and secure the angle.
