INSTRUCTIONS
You can power both the camera and receiver with an AC adapter or batteries. If you choose to
operate the receiver on batteries, you can still operate the camera with the AC adapter. For
long periods of non-use, we suggest removing the batteries and unplugging the AC adapters.
For AC Power
Insert an AC adapter into the jack marked “9V DC” on each unit and plug the adapter into
an electrical outlet. When using an AC adapter, we suggest you also keep batteries in at all
times as the units will automatically convert from AC to battery power during a power outage.
However, if you do not keep batteries in the units, the monitor will operate on just AC power.
IMPORTANT: You can only use rechargeable batteries in the receiver. You can use either
rechargeable or alkaline batteries in the camera.
For Battery Power
The camera requires six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries for battery operation.
Rechargeable batteries can be used in the camera, however, batteries will NOT be recharged
in the camera when using the AC adapter. If you are using rechargeable batteries, they will
have to be removed and recharged by an external charger.
The receiver requires five AA rechargeable batteries for battery operation. These batteries
WILL be recharged in the receiver when using the AC adapter. DO NOT use alkaline batteries
in the receiver.
Remove the battery covers with a screwdriver. Insert six AA alkaline or rechargeable batteries
(not included) into the camera and five AA rechargeable batteries (included) in the receiver
matching positive (+) to positive (+) and negative (-) to negative (-). Replace the battery
covers. Remember, if you use rechargeable batteries in the camera, you will need to recharge
them with an external charger.
5
Charge the rechargeable batteries in the receiver for at least eight hours before using it on
battery power for the first time. This can be done while operating the receiver on AC power or
when the receiver is turned off. Charge the batteries by plugging the AC adapter directly into
the receiver.
The battery life is approximately six to eight hours in the camera and receiver. Replace the
batteries in the camera when the Power Indicator Light turns orange. Replace the batteries
in the receiver when the Power Indicator Light turns orange or the image begins to shrink.
Using Your Monitor
1. Turn the camera on by sliding the Power switch to the ON position. Turn the receiver on
by turning the Power/Volume control. The green Power Indicator on both units will light up
when they are on.
2. Make sure the switch on the camera is set to “camera.”
3. Rotate the camera head so it faces your baby. To install the camera on the wall, use the
mounting screws and anchors with the mounting template provided.
4. For daytime vision, place the camera up to ten feet from your baby making sure it is out
of reach.
5. For nighttime vision, place the camera no more than six feet from your baby making sure
it is out of reach.The camera has a built-in light sensor which will automatically turn on the
night vision feature when there is no light detected. Remember, when using the infrared
night vision, the image will only be in black and white.
6. Select the channel that gives you the best reception. Make sure both units are on the
same channel.
7. If you have two cameras, you can monitor two different rooms. Set one camera to channel
A and one to channel B. Change the channel on the receiver to determine which room
you want to monitor. You can also set the receiver to automatically scan between the two
6
cameras. Please refer to the Automatic Channel Scan section on page 7.
8. Use the buttons on the right side of the receiver to adjust the brightness.
9. Turn the volume dial on the left side of the receiver to the desired level.
SPECIAL FEATURES
Receiver LCD Power Option: Battery-Saving Feature
You can turn the screen of the receiver off and still maintain the sound monitor function. To
use this function, slide the LCD Power switch on the receiver to the OFF position. The use
of this feature will prolong the life of the batteries in the monitor when powering the monitor
with batteries only.
Automatic Infrared Night Vision
The infrared night vision function is designed to allow the camera to pick up images even
when the room is dark. Using the built-in light sensor, the camera will automatically convert
to night vision when the level of light is low. Remember, when using infrared night vision,
the image will be in black and white.
Automatic Channel Scan
Your monitor can operate with two cameras. The Automatic Channel Scan function lets you
automatically scan between both channels if two cameras are being used at the same time.
(If you have Model #TV900, please call us at 1-800-430-0222 to find out where you can
purchase an additional camera.) To activate this feature, set one camera to channel A and the
other to channel B. Turn on the Automatic Channel Scan function by pressing the Channel
Selection button on the receiver until the green Auto Scan Indicator lights up. When this feature
is on, the receiver will scan through the two channels automatically. It will stop at each
channel and display the image and monitor the sounds from each camera for approximately
five seconds. To deactivate the auto scan feature, press the Channel Selection button again.
