Adjust the sound sensitivity of the
baby unit
You can choose to hear sounds from the baby
unit all the time, or to hear sounds that exceed
a certain level. You can use the parent unit to
adjust the microphone sensitivity of your baby
unit. The higher the sensitivity level, the more

for transmitting to the parent unit. The sound
