WIRELESS 2.4GHz HANDHELD BABY MONITOR BM-242 USER MANUAL Congratulations Giving birth to baby is the happiest experience for parents. They would offer their children the best living quality as they can and take care of them whole-heartedly. Therefore, a baby monitor is a necessary baby care product that helps parents pay attention to every wonderful moment of their baby. We have developed a 2.4G & 4 channels handheld slim size baby monitor that eliminates the interference from crowded 900MHz band. A color LCD screen allows the parents to watch their child. In addition, parents are able to see their baby in bright black & white view of baby even in a darkened room. If you want to see a bigger image of the baby on TV, a TV cable is included to help you. First time parents may find it difficult to manage the feeding time of their baby, a digital alarm clock is incorporated to remind the parents, “It’s time to feed the baby!” Please read all instructions thoroughly before using your Baby Monitor. Content and Features AC Adaptor: The AC Adaptors are low voltage power sources that allow you to use your household electricity to run the Baby Monitor.

Selecting a channel is usually a one-time adjustment. If interference persists on all channels, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section. Testing It is very important to test the transmission of Baby Unit and reception of Parents Unit before use or whenever you change the location of either Parents / Baby Units. 1. Place Baby Unit in room where you intend to use it. Position it in the most appropriate location for monitoring the baby (on top of a table, dresser, or on the wall). Turn on the Baby Unit by switching the ON / OFF switch to ON. 2. Direct the camera lens towards the area you want to see on the Parents Unit screen. While testing, it may be helpful to place an object, such as a doll or stuffed animal, in the area you want to monitor. 3. Place the Parents Unit in different locations you intend to use inside the house. As with any audio equipment, feedback or a high pitched sound may occur if the Parents & Baby Units are too close to each other. 4. Set both units into the same channel. To test video reception quality 5. Check the video reception on the Parents Unit screen. Make sure you check the reception in all areas you intend to use both units. 6. To adjust Brightness, Contrast, or Color, please refer to the Operation Section. 7. The Baby Unit will automatically switch to night vision mode when it is placed in a completely darkened room. In night vision mode, the picture will be black and white.

During sound testing, keep in mind the sound level of your child and test accordingly. 9. Keep the Baby Unit far enough away from the Parents Unit to prevent feedback noise. Place the Baby Unit in a different room than the Parents Unit is sufficient. Baby Unit Location & Set-up You can position and adjust camera in different ways to provide the best view of your baby. The Baby Unit can be easily mounted on wall, or simply placed on a stable, flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit.

If interference or other problems occur, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section. WARNING: In selecting a location to mount the Baby Unit, keep the following in mind: - To prevent entanglement, only mount the Baby Unit at where its AC adaptor cord is OUT OF CHILD’S REACH. - To prevent entanglement and overheating, only mount the Baby Unit at where the AC adaptor cord can reach a standard wall outlet. Unwrap and fully extend the AC adaptor cord. NEVER use an extension cord. - For best viewing, position the Baby Unit approximately 3’ (1m) away from the child. - Mount the Baby Unit in a location where the camera lens is unobstructed.
