INSTALLATION
Select a location for the camera that provides a clear view of the
area you want to monitor, is free from dust, and is not in line-of-
sight with a strong light source or in direct sunlight.
Desk Mounting the Camera
You can place the camera on a desk or any level surface. Select
a location that is near AC outlet within the reach of the AC
adapter cord.
Wall Mounting the Camera
To wall mount the camera, test the reception of the video
monitor before installing to the wall. Then drive a screw (not
supplied) on the wall letting the head extends 5 mm (3/16 inch)
from the wall. Hang the camera and make sure it is securely
mounted. Adjust the camera to a best viewing angle.
Setting Up Your Wireless Baby Monitor
Have a person hold the camera against the wall at the selected
mounting area while another person moves the monitor to
various locations throughout the house to check reception. li
interference or other problems develop, refer to
"Troubleshooting“ in page x. You may need to select a dillerent
location in the room for mounting the camera.
The following steps show you how to set up the Wireless Baby
Monitor:
1. Set the camera and monitor to the same channel (1 , 2, 3 or
4) using CHANNEL 1 2 3 4 on the back of the camera and CH.

Locate and orient the antennas on both the camera and
monitor according to "Orienting Antennas for Optimal
Perlormance" In page X.
Orienting Antennas for Optimal
Performance
The Wireless Baby Monitor broadcasts its high-quality audio and
video using directional antennas which must be oriented in a
certain configurations for best results. The 2.4 GHz antennas
have been designed to pivot and have limited rotation in either
clockwise or counterclockwise directions.
Warning: See instructions shown below for rotating antennas.
Flotating antennas beyond the specified range will result in
permanent damage to both antennas and the mechanical stopi
Antenna does not rotate freely 360 degrees.

Maximum clockwise rotation of
A/V antenna shown,
in most situations, the antennas’ tlat pitted face on both the
camera and monitor should lace toward one anothert Since all
rooms are different, for optimal reception, additional slight pivots
or rotations might be necessary. If the camera and monitor are
less than 10 leet apart, keep the antennas flat in their casingsr
Special Auto-Sequence Function and
Setting
There is an auto-sequence switch on the back ol the monitor for
setting up multiple cameras. Your Wireless Baby Monitor is
factory preset for one camera/monitor set use. If you install just
one camera/monitor set only, do not take off the caution label
covered over the switch If you stalled more than one camera,
then you need to take off the label to setup auto-sequence
lunction.
' You can install up to tour cameras on lour dillerent channels to
monitor a series at rooms tor maximum supervision of the house
(or office). To activate the auto-sequence monitor function, set
up the dip-switches as follows:

Note: When you set the 4/5 dip switch to ON to disable the auto
sequence function, you also need to slide all 1, 2, 3, 4 dip
switches to OFF. If one or more of the 1, 2, 3, 4 dip-switches
remains ON, the auto-sequence function will continue on these
channels, even though the 4/B dip-switch is in the OFF position
For example, it you have installed two cameras and their
channels are set on CH 1 and (H 3, and you wish to monitor
these two channels in sequence, you must first slide the 4/3 dip-
switch to OFF to enable the auto-sequence function, then slide
the 1 and 3 dip-switches to ON to activate channel 1 and 3 auto-
sequence function. (See the following diagram.) if you wish to
monitor these two channels at eight-second intervals. slide the
4/8 dip-switch to ON; to monitor these two channels at four-
second intervals leave 4/6 dip-switch to OFF.

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your monitor might cause interference on other radio/T V devices
even when it is operating properly. To
determine whether your monitor is causing the interference, turn
off your monitor. If the interference goes
away, your monitor is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference
by:
- Moving your monitor away from the other device.
- Connecting your monitor to an outlet that is on a different
electrical circuit from the other device.
- Contacting your local FladioShack store lor help.
ll you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that
you stop using your monitor.
14
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the tollowing two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interlerence, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your HadioShack 2.4 GHz Wireless Baby Monitor is an example
of superior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions
will help you care for your monitor so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the monitor dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic
circuits.
Handle the monitor gently and carefully. Dropping it can
damage circuit boards and cases and can cause the monitor to
work improperly.
Use and store the monitor only in normal temperature
environments. Temperature extremes can shorten the lite of
electronic devices and distort or melt plastic pans.
Keep the monitor away from dust and dirt, which can cause
premature wear of parts.
Wipe the monitor with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking now. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or
strong detergents to clean the monitor .
