Troubleshooting
Parent unit loses connection to baby unit
Ensure both units are within the 300m range and not obstructed by thick walls or metal objects. Check if the baby unit is powered on. Try moving the parent unit closer to the baby unit.
No sound or low volume
Check the volume setting on the parent unit. Ensure the microphone on the baby unit is not obstructed. Verify that the sound activation mode is not set too high, causing it to miss quiet sounds.
Screen is blank or flickering
Ensure the baby unit is powered on and the parent unit is receiving a signal. Try turning both units off and on again. Charge the parent unit if the battery is low.
Temperature alert is inaccurate
Ensure the temperature sensor on the baby unit is not near a heat source (like direct sunlight or a heater) or a draft (like an air conditioner vent). Allow time for the sensor to acclimate to the room temperature.
