If you cannot nd the answer to your question, contact customer service by visiting our website at www.vtechphones.com or calling 1 (800) 595-9511. Why does the baby monitor not respond normally?Try the following (in the order listed) for common sure:1. Disconnect the power to the baby units and the parent unit.2. Remove the batteries in the parent unit. Then install the batteries again.3. Wait a few minutes before connecting power back to the baby units and the parent unit.4. Turn on the baby units and the parent unit.5. Wait for the parent unit to synchronize with the baby units. Allow up to one minute for this to take place.Why don’t the power-on light of the baby unit and parent unit go on when I switch on the units?Perhaps the rechargeable battery of the parent unit is empty and the parent unit is not connected to the mains. Insert the appliance plug into the parent unit and put the adapter in a wall socket. Then press to switch on the parent unit and to establish connection with the baby unit.Perhaps the baby unit is not connected to the mains. Connect the baby unit to the mains. Then set ON/OFF switch to ON to switch on the baby unit and to establish connection with the parent unit.Why does the baby monitor produce a high-pitched noise?The units may be too close to each other. Make sure the parent unit and the baby unit at least 1 metre/3 feet away from each other.Why does the parent unit react too quickly to other sounds?The baby unit also picks up other sounds than those of your baby. Adjust the sensitivity level to a lower level or adjust the speaker volume on the parent unit.Why don’t I hear a sound/Why can’t I hear my baby cry?You may have set the sensitivity level to a very low level.
