Below are the questions most frequently asked about the video monitor.
Can I turn the parent
unit display screen
off but keep hearing
sounds from the baby
unit?
Yes, press | LCD ON/OFF on the parent unit to turn off the screen. The parent
unit display will also dim automatically after being inactive for some time. In both
instances, you will still be able to hear all sounds from the baby unit.
Press any key to turn the screen back on.
Why is the baby
unit not responding
normally?
Try the following (in the order listed) for a common cure:
1. Disconnect the power to the baby unit.
2. Wait a few minutes before connecting power back to the baby unit.
3. Reboot the parent unit.
Why is my screen in
black and white?
The baby unit has a light sensor that measures ambient light. When the
ambient light is dim, such as during night time or in a dark room, the baby unit
activates its infrared LEDs, and displays the camera images in black and white
night vision.
Why does my baby unit
show offline? Why is the
connection lost every
now and then?
The baby unit may have lost connection to the Wi-Fi router. Check your
network and router settings.
Other electronic products may cause interference with your baby unit. Try
installing your baby unit as far away from these electronic devices as possible.
Why can’t I hear a
sound/Why can’t I hear
my baby crying?
The parent unit speaker volume may be too low. Press on the parent unit
to increase the volume.

VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That’s why we’ve put together a list of industry-
recommended best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and your devices protected when
online. We recommend you carefully review and consider complying with the following tips.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure.
• Before installing a device, ensure your router’s wireless signal is encrypted by selecting the “WPA2-PSK
with AES” setting in your router’s wireless security menu.
Change default settings.
• Change your wireless router’s default wireless network name (SSID) to something unique.
• Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A strong password:
- Is at least 10 characters long.
- Is complex.
- Does not contain dictionary words or personal information.
- Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters and numbers.
Keep your devices up to date.
• Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become available. This will ensure you
always have the latest security updates.
• If the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router.
• UPnP enabled on a router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other network devices
to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you. A virus or other malware program
could use this function to compromise security for the entire network.
