The AC Adapters are a low voltage power source that allows you to use your household electricity to run the 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television. The separate AC Adapters connect to the AC Adapter Jack in the Monitor and Camera . Both plug into any standard 110 volt electrical outlet in your home. CAUTION: These adapters were made with a specific design for Safety 1st 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor. They cannot be used with any other appliance. Never use a different type of adapter with this monitor. Page 5 Operating Your 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television Camera Wall Mount Installation Always remember that you are using public airwaves when you use the Safety 1st 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television. Sound and video may be broadcast to other receiving devices. Conversations, even from rooms near the Camera, may be broadcast as well. CAUTION: To protect your privacy, always turn the Camera off when not in use. It is possible for the Monitor to pick up sounds or display interference from other signal producing devices including other audio or video monitors which broadcast in the 900 MHz range. To minimize this potential problem, three independent channels have been provided for your use. If you experience interference while using one channel setting, simply switch the Camera and Monitor to another channel. Selecting a channel is usually a one-time adjustment. If interference persists on all channels, please refer to the Problems and Solutions Guide at the end of these instructions. Monitor Reception Before installing Wall Mount Screw, it is very important to test the video and sound reception of the 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television at the following times:
Before initial use Regularly during use Whenever you change the location of the Camera or Monitor To Test: It is easiest for two adults to test reception. One adult should be present in the room with the Camera, while the other adult moves the Monitor to several different locations throughout the house. As with any audio equipment, feedback or a high pitched shrill sound may occur if the Camera and Monitor are too close to each other. It is important to test sound quality and video reception in each location in which you intend to use the 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television. To test the video reception, the adult present in the room with the Camera should place the Camera in the most appropriate location for monitoring the baby (on a table top, dresser, or against a wall). Direct the Camera lens toward the area you want to see on the Monitor screen. (While testing, it may be helpful to place an object, such as a doll or stuffed animal, in the area you want to be viewing on the monitor.) Check the video reception on the Monitor screen. Adjust the quality of the picture using the brightness adjustment knob on the back of the Monitor. Make sure you check reception in all areas in which you intend to use both the Monitor and Camera. The Camera has an Auto Sensor to allow the Camera to see clearly, automatically, even in a completely darkened room. In the Night Vision mode, the Picture will be black and white. To test sound reception quality, have the adult present in the room with the Camera speak in both a whisper and a normal conversation level at the location of the child being monitored. During sound testing, keep in mind the volume of your childs sounds and test accordingly. The Monitor must be placed far enough away from the Camera to prevent feedback noise from occurring. Usually this means placing the Monitor in a different room than the Camera is in. Camera Location and Set Up You can position and adjust the Camera in a variety of ways to provide the best view of your baby at all times. The Camera can be easily mounted on a wall, or it can be simply placed on a stable, flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit. IMPORTANT: Once you have selected a location for mounting, TEST the reception of the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor BEFORE INSTALLING any wall mount screws. If interference or other problems occur, please refer to the Problems and Solutions Guide at the end of these instructions. Using a 3/16 (4.8 mm) drill bit on an electric drill, drill a hole in the wall. Place the Wall Anchor in the drilled hole. Tap gently with a hammer on the Wall Anchor until the end of the Wall Anchor is even or flush with the surface of the wall as shown in Figure A. Place the Screw in the Wall Anchor and tighten until there is a 1/4 (6.2 mm) gap between the wall and the Screw head as shown in Figure B. Mounting the Camera on the Wall Unwrap and fully extend the AC Adapter cord. NOTE: Two AC Adapters are included in the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor. Use the Adapter with the longer cord with the Camera. Use only the AC Adapters included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor. Plug the jack on the Cameras AC Adapter cord into the AC Adapter jack on the bottom of the Camera. Hold the Camera so the underside of the base/wall mount faces you. Insert the AC Adapter cord into the groove on the underside of the Camera base/wall mount as shown in Figure C. Make certain the AC Adapter cord stays in the groove as you place the Camera on the wall mount Screw. Slide the Camera base/wall mount down on the Screw to secure it to the wall as shown in Figure D. NOTE: If the Camera does not slip easily onto the wall mount Screw, remove the Camera from the wall and slightly loosen the Screw. Plug AC Adapter into a standard wall outlet. Wrap up and secure any excess AC Adapter cord. A C B 1/4" (6.2 mm) D Grooves WARNING:
In selecting a location to mount the Camera, keep the following things in mind:
To prevent entanglement, only mount the Camera in a location where it and its A/C adapter cord are OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. For best viewing, mount the Camera approximately 6' (2m) away from the child. Mount the Camera in a location where the camera lens will have an unobstructed view. Use the tilt and swivel adjustments to properly aim the Camera. Allow adequate ventilation of the Camera when mounted on a wall. DO NOT mount the Camera directly above heating vents, other heat producing sources or in direct sunlight. Make certain that the Camera will be mounted so that the AC adapter cord will reach an outlet. To prevent entanglement and overheating, NEVER use an extension cord. Page 6 Camera Table Top Set Up The Camera can be positioned on any stationary flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit. Position the camera approximately 6' (2M) away from the desired object. WARNING: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT, NEVER PLACE THE CAMERA IN CRIB OR PLAYPEN. ALWAYS POSITION THE CAMERA AND ITS AC ADAPTER CORD OUT OF CHILDS REACH. NOTE: Use only the AC adapters included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor. Unwrap and fully extend the AC adapter cord. Plug AC Adapter into a standard wall outlet. Wrap up and secure any excess AC adapter cord. Page 7 Monitor Set Up Camera Operation The portable Monitor operates by use of 4 AA alkaline batteries (not included) or the AC Adapter cord included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor for AC Monitor power. REMEMBER: Use only the AC Adapter included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor for power. IMPORTANT NOTES:
Keep the Monitor out of reach of children. Keep the Monitor upright for best reception. Set Camera and Monitor to the same channel. Slide the ON/OFF switch on the top of the Camera to the ON position. To Adjust:
Turn the tilt adjustment knob counter-clockwise just enough to loosen the camera. Move the camera up or down to the desired position and tighten the camera in place by turning the tilt adjustment knob clockwise. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Swivel the camera from side-to-side to obtain desired position. Installing the Batteries WARNING Do not submerge any part of TV/Video Monitor in water.
