Range
When the distance between the baby and parent unit is too far, the signal may be interrupted and the image and sound may become frozen. If there is a connection loss due to the units being out of range, a black screen is displayed and the message “Connecting…”. The parent unit will try to reconnect to the camera.
Note: If the they do not reconnect even after the units have been brought within range, try to pair the units again, see the following section “Camera – Pairing”.
Powering a video baby monitor via a power bank
A TrueLife video monitor is primarily intended for home use and to be powered from the mains. Do not use VOX power saving mode when using a power bank. In this mode, the electrical consumption of the camera (baby unit) is so low that some power banks might think the device is charged and turn off automatically. This will interrupt transmission.
- Press the “OK / Menu” key on the parent unit to access the menu. Navigate using the “left” and “right” arrow keys. The “Back” key takes you back one page or to the monitoring screen.
- The menu contains 6 icons:
- Camera – Pairing*
- Alarm – Alarm settings
- Settings – Basic settings
- VOX – VOX mode settings
- Languages – Language settings menu
- System Info
Note: The parent and baby units are already paired, it is not necessary to do this again. Only select if you want to re-pair the units, e.g. when the signal has been lost.
Camera – Pairing
To re-pair, press the “OK / Menu” key twice. Next press and hold the “Reset” key on the back of the baby unit for 10 seconds. When successfully paired, the message “Register Successful” is displayed.
Alarm – Alarm settings
Press the “PTT” key (microphone symbol) to move the cursor. Press the “left” and “right” arrow keys to change value and press OK to set the time.
Settings – Basic settings
Here you can set the time and date, the time/date format, the unit of temperature, the frequency and the LCD backlight. Press the “PTT” key (microphone symbol) to move to the sub-menu.
VOX – VOX mode settings
Here you can activate or deactivate VOX mode and adjust its sensitivity. When VOX mode is activated, after a short period of silence the display turns off and audio transmission is stopped to save battery. This setting is perfect for a night of babysitting. Crying or any other noise immediately activates the camera and monitoring begins. As a result, you are always aware of the situation and can see what is happening straight away. The VOX sensitivity can also be adjusted to suit normal background noise levels.
