My Baby Unit is making a click or spark sound. Is that normal?
-
This click or sparking sound from the Baby Unit is a normal occurrence that happens when your unit is adapting to its environment's lighting condition.
To achieve accurate and high quality video feeds, your Baby Unit is equipped with an Infrared Cut-off Filter lens that optimizes color accuracy in bright, day-time environments. When the environment turns dark at night, this filter lens is withdrawn to enhance night vision quality. The brief click or sparking sound you hear is from the filter lens activating and withdrawing as the unit switches from day to night vision (and vice versa).
My baby monitor is not working normally (e.g. connection or power issues). What should I do?

Why can’t I hear any sounds from the Parent Viewer? Why can’t I hear my baby cry?
-
When certain sounds are not transmitted to the Parent Viewer, it may be because the Parent Viewer speaker volume is too low/muted or the Baby Unit's sound detection sensitivity is too low.
Try increasing the Parent Viewer speaker volume , or adjusting the Baby Unit’s sound sensitivity to the highest level (level 5).
The Baby Unit may not detect some sounds when its sensitivity level is set below a certain level. On the highest sensitivity level, the Baby Unit will detect and transmit all sounds.
Why does the Parent Viewer react too quickly to other sounds? It's picking up too much sound.
-
When you hear too many sounds, it may be because the Parent Viewer speaker volume is too high, or the Baby Unit's sound detection sensitivity is too high. With these settings, the Baby Unit will easily pick up sounds other than those of your baby.
Adjust the sound detection sensitivity to a lower level or lower the Parent Viewer speaker volume.
Can the camera be mounted or installed on the wall?
-

Tip:
Keep your Parent Viewer connected to a power adapter to maintain constant monitoring. With Dim Mode and Auto Wake Up deactivated, the Parent Viewer screen will not automatically conserve energy.
What is the voltage range for my baby monitor? Would it work in other countries?
- The LeapFrog baby monitor AC power adapters' technical specifications are 100-240V DC. While this means the unit is compatible with countries with voltages between 100V and 240V, you will need to separately obtain a plug adapter for the specific country you wish to operate the baby monitor in.

-
Yes.
