Below are the questions most frequently asked about
the baby monitor. If you cannot find the answer to
your question, contact customer service by visiting our
website at www.vtechcanada.com or calling
1 (800) 267-7377.
Why does the
baby monitor
not respond
normally?
Try the following (in the order
listed) for common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the
baby units and the parent unit.
2. Remove the batteries in the
parent unit. Then, install the
batteries again.
3. Wait a few minutes before
connecting power back to the
baby units and the parent unit.
4. Turn on the baby units and the
parent unit.
5. Wait for the parent unit to
synchronize with the baby
units. Allow up to one minute
for this to take place.
Why don’t the
power-on light
of the baby unit
and parent unit
go on when I
switch on the
units?
Perhaps the rechargeable
battery of the parent unit is
empty and the parent unit is not
connected to the mains. Insert
the appliance plug into the parent
unit and put the adapter in a
wall socket. Then, press to
switch on the parent unit and to
establish connection with the
baby unit.
Perhaps the baby unit is not
connected to the mains. Connect
the baby unit to the mains. Then,
set ON/OFF switch to ON to
switch on the baby unit and to
establish connection with the
parent unit.
Why is my
screen in black
and white?
The screen is in black and white
during nighttime or in a dark
room. This is normal due to
external light sources.
Why do I get
glare or blurry
display on my
screen when
viewing my
baby at night?
During nighttime or in a dark
room, the surroundings and
other interfering factors, like
lightings, objects, colors and
backgrounds may affect the
image quality on your parent unit
screen. Adjust the baby unit’s
angle or place the baby unit at a
higher level to prevent glare and
blurry display.
Why does the
baby monitor
produce a high-
pitched noise?
The units may be too close
to each other. Make sure the
parent unit and the baby unit at
least 1 metre/3 feet away from
each other.
