Mount the baby unit on dry wall (optional) NNOoTtEeSs • Check for reception strength and baby unit's angle before drilling the holes. • The types of screws and anchors you need depend on the composition of the wall. You may need to purchase the screws and anchors separately to mount your baby units. 1. Place the wall mount bracket on a wall and then use a pencil to mark the top and the bottom holes as shown. Remove the wall mount bracket and drill two holes in the wall (7/32 inch drill bit). 2. If you drill the holes into a stud, go to step 3. • If you drill the holes into an object other than a stud, insert the wall anchors into the holes. Tap gently on the ends with a hammer until the wall anchors are flush with the wall. 3. Align the wall mount bracket and screws with the holes in the wall as shown. Tighten the screw in the middle hole first, so that the wall mount bracket position is fixed. You can tighten the other screw in the top hole. 4. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit. 3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch of the screws are exposed. OR 4. Place the baby unit on the wall mount bracket. 2 Tighten the screw into the threaded socket at the bottom to secure the baby unit. Align the holes on the wall mount bracket with the screws on the wall, and slide the wall mount bracket down until it locks into place. 1 5. You can maximize your baby unit's viewing angles by tilting the wall mount bracket. Hold the baby unit, and then rotate the knob in anticlockwise direction. This will loosen the joint of the wall mount bracket. Tilt your baby unit up or down to adjust to your preferred angle. Then, rotate the knob in clockwise direction to tighten the joint and secure the angle. Frequently asked questions Below are the questions most frequently asked about the baby monitor.

Stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l'organisme Les simulateurs cardiaques (ne s'applique qu'aux dispositifs numériques sans fil) : L'organisme 'Wireless Technology Research, LLC (WTR)', une firme de recherche indépendante, a mené une évaluation pluridisciplinaire des interférences entre les téléphones sans fil portatifs et les stimulateurs cardiaques implantés dans l'organisme. Appuyée par l'Administration des aliments et drogues (FDA) des États-Unis, la firme WTR recommande aux médecins: Avis aux détenteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques • Vous devriez maintenir les dispositifs sans fil à au moins six pouces du simulateur cardiaque. • Ils ne doivent PAS placer le téléphone sans fil directement sur le stimulateur cardiaque, tel que dans une poche de chemise, lorsque celui-ci est en marche. L'étude effectuée par l'organisme WRS n'a pas identifié de risque pour les détenteurs de simulateurs cardiaques causés par les gens qui utilisent dispositifs sans fil à proximité de ceux-ci.
