Frequently Asked Questions 1. The technical specifications show an operating range of 1000 feet. Why does my monitor lose connection at a much shorter distance? 2. The link between the baby and parent units is lost every now and then, and I’m experiencing sound interruptions. You may be approaching the outer limits of the operating range.
