NOISE/SOUND 
Problem

Solution

Why don't I hear a 

sound? Why can't I hear 

my baby cry?

Perhaps the parent unit is muted� Unmute it by pressing the top part of 

the control button and adjust the volume�

Perhaps you have muted the app� Unmute it by tapping the mute icon on 

the video screen�
The sensitivity is set too low� Increase the sensitivity in the parent unit's 

menu or the app to a higher level�
The baby unit may be too far away from your baby� Make sure the 

baby unit is not further than 1�5 meters / 5 feet away from your baby 

for optimal sound detection� Closer than 1 meter /3�5 feet increases 

strangulation hazard�

Why does the app/parent 

unit react too quickly to 

other sounds than my 

baby makes?

The sensitivity level may be set too high� When your baby makes soft 

sounds, the sensitivity has to be higher. However, the noisier is nursery 

room is, the lower the sensitivity level can be set. You can change the 

sensitivity of your baby monitor on the parent unit's menu�

OPERATING TIME / RANGE
Problem 

Solution

Why does my baby 

monitor manage a much 

smaller distance than 

specified in this user 

manual?

The specified operating range between the parent unit and baby unit 

is up to 400 meters / 1312 feet, and it's only valid outdoors in open 

air and in the line of sight� Depending on the surroundings and other 

disturbing factors, the operating range may be smaller (see the table in 

'Operating range' chapter). Inside your house, the operating range is up 

to 50 meters/165 feet, which is also limited by the number and type of 

walls and/or ceilings between the parent unit and the baby unit�

VIDEO DISPLAY
Problem 

Solution

Why do I get interference 

on the parent unit? Why 

does the video display on 

the parent unit flicker? 

Why does the parent unit 

make a buzzing sound?

Interference may occur when the parent unit is out of range of the baby 

unit� If there are too many walls or ceilings between the parent unit and 

the baby unit� Or when other 2�4 GHz wireless devices are switched on 

(e.g. microwave, Wi-Fi router). 

Put the parent unit in a different place, closer to the baby unit, or switch 

off other wireless devices.

Why isn't the image on 

the video display clear?

Perhaps the lens of the baby unit is dirty� Clean the lens with a dry cloth�

The video resolution will automatically adjust when the parent unit is 

moving too far away from the baby unit� Move the parent unit closer to 

the baby unit�

Why do I get black and 

white images instead of 

colour ones?

The baby monitor has switched to night vision mode because the room 

where the baby monitor is placed is dark�

If there is enough light in the room, the light sensor on the baby monitor 

may be covered or dirty. Make sure that this sensor is fully exposed to the 

light in the room�
