Monitor Reception
Before installing Wall Mount Screw, it is very important to test the video and sound reception of the 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and
Television at the following times:
• Before initial use
• Regularly during use
• Whenever you change the location of the Camera or Monitor
To Test: It is easiest for two adults to test reception. One adult should be present in the room with the Camera, while the other adult
moves the Monitor to several different locations throughout the house. As with any audio equipment, feedback or a high pitched shrill
sound may occur if the Camera and Monitor are too close to each other. It is important to test sound quality and video reception in each
location in which you intend to use the 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television.
To test the video reception, the adult present in the room with the Camera should place the Camera in the most appropriate
location for monitoring the baby (on a table top, dresser, or against a wall). Direct the Camera lens toward the area you want to see on
the Monitor screen. (While testing, it may be helpful to place an object, such as a doll or stuffed animal, in the area you want to be
viewing on the monitor.) Check the video reception on the Monitor screen. Adjust the quality of the picture using the brightness
adjustment knob on the back of the Monitor. Make sure you check reception in all areas in which you intend to use both the Monitor and
Camera. The Camera has an Auto Sensor to allow the Camera to see clearly, automatically, even in a completely darkened room. In the
Night Vision mode, the Picture will be black and white.
To test sound reception quality, have the adult present in the room with the Camera speak in both a whisper and a normal
conversation level at the location of the child being monitored. During sound testing, keep in mind the volume of your child’s sounds and
test accordingly. The Monitor must be placed far enough away from the Camera to prevent feedback noise from occurring. Usually this
means placing the Monitor in a different room than the Camera is in.
Operating Your 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television
Always remember that you are using public airwaves when you use the Safety 1st 900 MHz Hand-Held Monitor and Television. Sound
and video may be broadcast to other receiving devices. Conversations, even from rooms near the Camera, may be broadcast as well.
CAUTION: To protect your privacy, always turn the Camera off when not in use.
It is possible for the Monitor to pick up sounds or display interference from other signal producing devices including other audio or video
monitors which broadcast in the 900 MHz range. To minimize this potential problem, three independent channels have been provided for
your use.
If you experience interference while using one channel setting, simply switch the Camera and Monitor to another channel. Selecting a
channel is usually a one-time adjustment. If interference persists on all channels, please refer to the Problems and Solutions Guide at the
end of these instructions.
Camera Location and Set Up
You can position and adjust the Camera in a variety of ways to provide the best view of your baby at all times. The Camera can be easily
mounted on a wall, or it can be simply placed on a stable, flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit.
IMPORTANT: Once you have selected a location for mounting, TEST the reception of the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor
BEFORE INSTALLING any wall mount screws. If interference or other problems occur, please refer to the Problems and Solutions Guide
at the end of these instructions.
Camera Wall Mount Installation
• Using a 3/16” (4.8 mm) drill bit on an electric drill, drill a hole in the wall.
• Place the Wall Anchor in the drilled hole. Tap gently with a hammer on the Wall Anchor until the end of the Wall Anchor is even or flush
with the surface of the wall as shown in Figure A.
• Place the Screw in the Wall Anchor and tighten until there is a 1/4” (6.2 mm) gap between the wall and the Screw head as shown
in Figure B.

WARNING:
In selecting a location to mount the Camera, keep the following things in mind:
• To prevent entanglement, only mount the Camera in a location where it and its A/C adapter cord are OUT OF
REACH OF CHILDREN.
• For best viewing, mount the Camera approximately 6' (2m) away from the child.
• Mount the Camera in a location where the camera lens will have an unobstructed view. Use the tilt and swivel
adjustments to properly aim the Camera.
• Allow adequate ventilation of the Camera when mounted on a wall. DO NOT mount the Camera directly above heating
vents, other heat producing sources or in direct sunlight.
• Make certain that the Camera will be mounted so that the AC adapter cord will reach an outlet. To prevent
entanglement and overheating, NEVER use an extension cord.
• Unwrap and fully extend the AC Adapter cord.
NOTE: Two AC Adapters are included in the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor. Use the Adapter with the longer cord with
the Camera. Use only the AC Adapters included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor.
• Plug the jack on the Camera’s AC Adapter cord into the AC Adapter jack on the bottom of the Camera.
• Hold the Camera so the underside of the base/wall mount faces you.
• Insert the AC Adapter cord into the groove on the underside of the Camera base/wall mount as shown in Figure C. Make certain the
AC Adapter cord stays in the groove as you place the Camera on the wall mount Screw.
• Slide the Camera base/wall mount down on the Screw to secure it to the wall as shown in Figure D.
NOTE: If the Camera does not slip easily onto the wall mount Screw, remove the Camera from the wall and slightly loosen the Screw.
• Plug AC Adapter into a standard wall outlet.
• Wrap up and secure any excess AC Adapter cord.
Camera Table Top Set Up
The Camera can be positioned on any stationary flat surface, such as a dresser, table top or shelving unit. Position the camera
approximately 6' (2M) away from the desired object.
NOTE: Use only the AC adapters included with the 900 MHz In Sight Hand-Held TV-Video Monitor.
• Unwrap and fully extend the AC adapter cord.
• Plug AC Adapter into a standard wall outlet.
• Wrap up and secure any excess AC adapter cord.
WARNING: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT, NEVER PLACE THE CAMERA IN CRIB OR PLAYPEN. ALWAYS POSITION
THE CAMERA AND ITS AC ADAPTER CORD OUT OF CHILD’S REACH.
