Power On LED should illuminate solid green. STEP 4 Set Babys Unit to channel A. If you hear interference, switch both Units to channel B. NOTE: If you experience a power failure, the Babys Unit WILL NOT automatically switch to battery power. You must disconnect the AC Adapter from the Babys Unit and insure that (1) 9 volt alkaline battery (not included) is installed for battery power. To Install Battery (for use in Portable Mode):
(One 9 volt alkaline battery required, not included) STEP 1 Locate battery compartment door on bottom of the Babys Unit as shown in Figure A. Using Phillips head screwdriver, remove the screw to take off the battery compartment door.

STEP 3 Press the Push to Talk Button on Parents Unit and speak directly into Microphone. Push to Talk Button must be depressed while you speak for Babys Unit to receive communication. Note: If interference is heard, switch both Units to the other channel. Operating Tips Make sure both Units are on the same channel. Even though you may hear your babys sounds, proper use of this system requires that both units be on the same channel. If on different channels, signals from Babys Unit can be strong enough to be picked by Parents Unit, however, there will be a lot of static. When using AC adapter, make sure electrical outlet has power. Some electrical outlets are powered through a wall switch in the room. When Babys and Parents Units are plugged in and turned ON, the power indicator light should be lit. If it is not, turn wall switch ON. Troubleshooting Problem Power On LED not working Static or interference in the signal transmission Possible Cause Battery may be dead, 9-volt battery needs to be replaced Power is not getting to the unit Solution Replace 9-volt battery Make sure wall outlet is working Make sure unit is properly plugged into the wall and outlet is switched ON Babys and Parents Units may be set on Make sure both Units are on the same different channels channel (A or B) Appliances with loud fans near Units may Turn off the appliances that may be be blocking transmission Local interference from electrical or radio frequency appliance near your location causing interference Reduce the distance between the Unit may be under fluorescent lights, two Units turn off lights Switch channel setting on both Parents and Babys Units Parents Unit is making loud noises Units are too close together Parents Unit needs to be at least 3 meters (10 feet) away from the Babys Unit Parents Unit is picking up noises from outside your home Neighbors may have a baby monitor or cordless phone Change both Units to the alternate channel (A or B) Weak sound coming from Unit Batteries may be weak Units may be too far away from each other Check batteries, replace if necessary Move the Units closer Babys Unit is set for Intercom Mode but not receiving communication from Parents Unit Parents Push to Talk Button is not being continuously depressed while parent is speaking Continuously hold Push to Talk Button while speaking into microphone for Babys Unit to receive complete communication Page 6 IMPORTANT!
