Why does the baby
unit not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order listed) for common cure:

Why is my screen in
black and white?
The baby unit has a light sensor that measures the ambient light. When the
ambient light is dim, such as during nighttime or in a dark room, the camera
activates its infrared LEDs, and displays the camera view in black and white.

show offline? Why is
the connection lost
every now and then?
The baby unit may lose the Internet connection. Check your network and the
router setting.
Other electronic products may cause interference with your camera. Try installing
your camera as far away from these electronic devices as possible.
Why don’t I hear a
sound/Why can’t I
hear my baby cry?
The parent unit speaker volume may be too low. Press VOL + to increase the
volume.
You may have set a low sound sensitivity level. Set the sound sensitivity to a
higher level. For details, go to www.vtechphones.com for online help topics.

If you plan to install your baby unit in a
designated location, and use your home Wi-Fi
network to connect your video monitor, you
need to test which of your selected monitoring
areas within the house have good Wi-Fi signal
strength. After you have powered on your
parent unit, you can use your parent unit’s Wi-
Fi signal strength indicator to assist in checking.
Once you have identified the suitable location,
you can install your baby unit. Adjust the
distance between your baby unit and the Wi-Fi
router if needed.
• Depending on surroundings and obstructing
factors, such as the effect distance and
internal walls have on signal strength, you may
experience reduced Wi-Fi signal. To improve
the Wi-Fi signal strength, adjust the distance or
direction of your parent unit. Check with your
parent unit again.

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).
NOTESNOTE
Notes
• Check for reception strength and baby unit’s angle before drilling the holes.
• The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and anchors separately to mount your baby units.
2. If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3.
• 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.
3. 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.
3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch
of the screws are exposed.
4. 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.
5. 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.
