With the CHANNEL selection switches (A-8, B-7) you can select sixteen different channel positions. If you experience interference from other baby monitors, radio devices, etc. select a different channel.

Open the battery compartment covers (A-9, B-10) of both units.

Adjusting microphone sensitivity

With the microphone sensitivity control (A-7) on the baby unit, you can set the sound, coming from the baby unit, to the desired level: low, mid or high. When set to the maximum level, the baby unit monitors all sounds. If no sound is picked up, the baby monitor will not monitor since continuous transmission is prohibited by law. You can only change the microphone sensitivity if the connection between the baby unit and the parent unit is established (when LINK light (B-2) on the parent unit lights continuously green).

• Use the microphone sensitivity switch (A-7) to adjust the baby unit microphone sensitivity to the desired level. You can use your own voice as a sound reference.

The POWER light (A-6) on the baby unit lights up yellow when a sound is picked up.
