To recharge the radio transmitter, simply plug it into the socket as it usually sits still at the side of your baby. Batteries, on the other hand, operate the portable receiver. Although this can be an addition cost, the price you pay in order to take pleasure in its portability is certainly worth it. Having more than one receiver makes it possible for both parents to keep a closer eye on their little bundle of joy. You may also keep the second receiver on stand by in case your main one runs out of battery juice. In addition, an extra receiver may also come in handy especially if you have a tendency to lose things like phones, remote controls, etc. Since it is inevitable that you will be using other wireless devices around your flat, one of the best things you could do to prevent interference is to always prioritize your baby monitor. This can be done through switching your baby monitor on first before any other device. By doing this, you are giving the baby monitor the chance to get the most excellent signal it can. With the video baby monitor installed, you can continually monitor your baby without having to stand up and going to your baby in the next room. The wireless video baby monitor however has a larger scope of use. Since it is wireless, you can go anywhere around the house while bringing an LCD monitor to keep track of the status of your baby. - Handle the baby monitor with care. Do not recklessly carry the device around. Also, avoid clutching the monitor by the antenna because it can easily break. - Safeguard the baby monitor from direct heat sources, as well as the glare of the sun. - Do not forget to position the baby monitor's receiver or transmitter on a sufficiently high surface that could not be reached or disturbed by other children. These wireless interferences are usually caused by other wireless devices around the house like the wireless phone or a router. Other wireless baby monitors from your neighbor s house can also cause interference. Fortunately, there are ways to solve these kinds of problems like adjusting channels or changing frequencies.
