							Overview of your Baby unit
Important guidelines for installing your Baby 
Monitor•  To use your baby unit and parent unit together, you must be able to establish a radio link between them, 
and the range will be affected by environmental 
conditions.
•  Any large metal object, like a refrigerator, a mirror, a  filing cabinet, metallic doors or reinforced concrete, 
between the baby and parent unit may block the radio 
signal.
•  The signal strength may also be reduced by other solid  structures, like walls, or  by radio or electrical 
equipment, such as TVs, computers, cordless or 
mobile phones, fluorescent lights or dimmer switches.
•  Use of other wireless products, such as wireless  networks, Bluetooth system s or microwave ovens may 
cause interference with this product, so keep the baby 
monitor away from these types of products, or turn 
them off if they appear to be causing interference.
•  If the signal is poor, try moving the parent and/or the  baby unit to different positions in the rooms.
•  It is recommended to place the baby unit about 3 feet  from the Crib to ensure sound can be received and 
heard.
•  It is essential to ensure sufficient clear space around  the baby unit.
