Operating Your Sight and Sound Assurance Monitor
Guidelines for good reception:
•
Use a stuffed animal or doll to focus
the Camera on while testing.
• Place your Camera 4-6’ (1.5-2m) away
from the area of focus.
•
Be certain the channels on the
Monitor and Camera match.
•
Use tilt and swivel adjustments to
properly aim the Monitor antenna
(Figure 2).
•
Use the tilt and swivel adjustments to
properly aim the Camera.
•
Use the controls on the back of the
Monitor to adjust vertical hold,
brightness and contrast as needed
(Figure 2b).
• Have one adult speak (from a whisper
to a yell) into the microphone on the
front of the Camera while another
checks the volume and the sound LEDs
on the top of the Monitor. The louder
the volume the more LEDs light up
(Figure 2c).
•
Place the Monitor far enough away
from the Camera so as not to get
feedback.
Testing the Reception (continued)
2
• Do not place
the Monitor more than 300’ (10cm) away from the Camera.
• If one channel has poor reception try the other channel
.
• Test the Automatic Night Vision (infra-red sensors around in the lens) by darkening the
room where the Camera is located. The Night Vision LEDs on the Camera will light up.
NOTE: It is possible for the Monitor to pick up sounds or display interference from
other signal producing devices including other audio or video monitors which
broadcast in the 900 MHZ range. To minimize this potential problem, two
independent channels have been provided.
If you experience interference while using one channel setting, simply switch the
Camera and Monitor to another channel. Selecting a channel is usually a one-time
adjustment. If interference persists on both channels, please refer to the
Troubleshooting section at the end of these instructions.
CAUTION: To protect your privacy, always turn the Camera off when not in use.
