AC ADAPTER
The Parent Unit operates on household electricity with the AC Adapter and
the Audio Parent Unit will operate on household electricity with the AC Adapter
or with rechargeable battery pack (included). The Baby Unit operates on
household electricity with the AC Adapter or with rechargeable battery pack
(included). The Parent Unit will automatically convert to AC operation when
used with the AC Adapter. It is not necessary to remove the battery during AC
operation. The Audio Parent Unit will automatically switch back to battery
power when plug is disconnected from the AC Adapter.
The AC Adapter should be used whenever possible on the Audio Parent Unit to
save battery life. This is done by inserting the AC Adapter into the AC Adapter
Jack. Then simply plug the AC Adapter into a nearby standard household outlet
(120V AC outlet). The AC Adapters may become slightly warm to the touch
during operation. This is normal.
This AC Adapter is a low voltage power source which allows you to use your
household electricity to run the Baby and Parent Units when it connects to the
AC Adapter Jack in the Parent Unit and in the Baby Unit, and plugs into any
standard electrical outlet in your home.
To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the adapter "brick." DO NOT
pull on the cord, as this could damage it.
CAUTION: This AC Adapter was made with a specific design for the Safety 1st Monitor. It cannot
be used with any other appliance, and never use a different type of adapter with this Monitor.

SPLIT SCREEN
Split screen can be used when there is more than one Camera
paired to the Parent Unit. Press the Center Menu button then
scroll over to the split screen icon and press the center menu
again to select.
BELT CLIP & FOOTREST
The Belt Clip is convenient for portability. You can clip the Parent Unit to your
belt or waistband. The Belt Clip also easily converts to a footrest.
CAMERA LENS FOCUS
To improve the picture quality, manually turn the lens on the camera to the left
(counter clockwise) until picture is clear.
Adding Additional Cameras:
Note: This product can accept up to 4 cameras. To order an additional camera
(#08903), please contact our Customer Service Department by phone at
1-800-544-1108 or visit www.safety1st.com
• Plug the AC adapter into AC jack in the bottom of the Camera and the other
end into a standard wall outlet.
PAIRING BUTTON:
Please bring the Camera and Parent Unit close to each other during the
process, to make sure the RF signal is strong enough and to prevent failure
caused by interference.
Ensure Camera and Parent Unit are both on. Press and HOLD the center main
menu button on the parent unit, then press the pairing button on the back of the
Camera. The camera is now paired. To check if additional camera is connected
follow the steps indicated in the split screen section above. If camera is not
paired simply repeat the paring instructions again.
LOW BATTERY
With power on and unit operating on battery power, a green LED will be lit.
When the LED turns to red, it indicates that the battery is dying. You need to
plug in the Audio Parent Unit within 5 to 10 minutes after red battery LED
appears or battery power will fail.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM BATTERY LIFE
A Fully charged battery being used with both video and audio typically lasts
approximately 6 hours. During the last 5 minutes, the large flashing red battery
will start flashing. You need to plug in the Parent Unit within 5 to 10 minutes
after red battery starts to flash or battery power will fail.
Rechargeable batteries are prone to what is referred to as the "memory effect".
What this means is that if a battery is repeatedly only partially discharged before
recharging, the battery "forgets" that it has the capacity to further discharge all
the way down. To illustrate: If on a regular basis you fully charge your battery and
then use only 50% of its capacity before the next recharge, eventually the battery
will become unaware of its extra 50% capacity which has remained unused.
The battery will remain functional, but only at 50% of its original capacity.
The way to avoid the "memory effect" is to fully cycle (fully charge and then fully
discharge) the battery at least once every two to three months. Simply leaving the
device in the ON position and letting it run can discharge batteries completely.
This will help insure your battery remains healthy. Once discharged, recharge the
battery completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Baby Unit (Transmitter):
PROPER POSITIONING
IMPORTANT: When choosing locations to set up the Baby Unit and Parent Unit,
follow these guidelines:
• For best sound quality, place Baby Unit 3 feet (0.9 m) away from the baby.
• Adjust volume dial on Parent Unit to appropriate level to minimize feedback.
• During use of the monitor, sound quality deteriorates as you reach the limits of
the monitor's range. If this happens, you will need to move the Parent Unit in
closer proximity to the Baby Unit.
For more help and resources, call 1-800-544-1108 or visit www.safety1st.com 1312
It is essential to check reception regularly.
Please see Using Your Monitor section.
VENTILATION: The Monitor should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block the ventilation openings, or placed in an enclosed installation, such as a book case or cabinet
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
• Position the Transmitter, Receiver and AC adapters to allow adequate ventilation and prevent
these components from overheating.
HEAT: The Monitor should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances that produce heat. Also keep these components out of direct sunlight.
POWER SOURCE: The Monitor should be connected to a power supply only of the type described
in these operating instructions.
POWER CORD PROTECTION: The power supply cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against it. Pay particular attention to the cord at the plug, convenience
receptacle, and at the point it exits from the Monitor. NOTE: Do not place adapter under a window where
a child might use it to step on and reach something that might be dangerous.
• Check to make sure outlet plates are not unusually hot to the touch. If they are, immediately unplug cords from
these outlets. Check that all outlet connections are in good condition so that adapter is not loose or that no
wiring is exposed. Have a qualified, licensed electrician check the wiring as soon as possible.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects do not fall onto, and liquids are not spilled into
the enclosure through the openings.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE: The Monitor should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the product; or
C. The Monitor has been exposed to rain; or

FCC Statement
Use and Care
Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT – CHECK RECEPTION:
The first time you use your monitoring system, two adults
should test it in the following way:
• Place Parent Unit at least 20' (6m) away from Baby Unit.
• Have an adult speak into Baby Unit at various levels (soft to loud) while
another adult checks Parent Unit for the proper sound and picture reception.
Try Parent Unit in every location that it will be used.
Wall Mounting the Camera
Mounting the Baby Unit on a wall is similar to mounting a picture.
1. Make 2 marks horizontally in your desired location on the wall. Make certain
location is close to power source and any wiring is not accessible by children.
2. Install 2 screws (5/16" head) in the wall where you made the marks.
3. Carefully place base of Baby Unit on screw and gently slide to the
left until Baby Unit is securely in place. Confirm attachment to
wall before letting go of Baby Unit.
4. Plug in AC adapter. Ensure all wiring is properly positioned
to avoid all contact and/or accessibility by children. Recommend
battery power use if cable poses possible hazard.
Care and Cleaning
Use a soft, dry cloth to keep your monitor free from dust.
DO NOT immerse product in water.
Cleaning Camera Lens:
1. With a soft brush, such as a clean makeup brush, carefully brush away any dust and
dirt particles that may be on your Camera lens. Do not skip this step as a small bit
of sand or dirt left behind could scratch your lens in the next steps.
2. Take a cotton swab and lightly moisten it with clean water. Carefully swab around
the inside edges of your lens.
3. With a dry portion of a lens cloth or soft non-abrasive tissue, buff the lens in a
circular motion to dry.
Helpful Hints
Use household electricity whenever possible. When the AC Adapter is used with your
household electricity, you will find that the power is stronger and more consistent
than when you rely solely on the battery. Range and sound quality also depends on
the construction of your house. Steel reinforced wall, for example, reduces the
effective range of the monitor. Conserve the battery so you will have power when
you don’t have easy access to AC outlets.
When not using the Unit, remove AC Adapter and be sure the power
button is “OFF”.
When you are not using the AC Adapter, remove it from the Unit and store it in a
safe, dry place until you need it again. If the AC Adapter is plugged into the Parent
Unit but not being used in an electrical outlet, the AC Adapter will prevent battery
operation of the Unit.
When using the AC Adapter with household electricity, make sure the
outlet is “ON”.
Some electrical outlets are powered through a switch in the room. If the Baby Unit is
plugged in and turned “ON”, the power indicator light should be lit. If it is not, try
turning the light switch in the room “ON”.
