Tip
• Depending on the surroundings and other interfering factors, like lighting, objects, colors and
backgrounds, the video quality may vary. Adjust the baby unit’s angle or place the baby unit at a
higher elevation to prevent glare and blurry displays.

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).
NOTESNOTE
Notes
• 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 unit.
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.
3. Insert the screws into the holes and tighten the screws until only 1/4 inch
of the screws are exposed.
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. 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.
