- Do not use more than one transmitter and one receiver at same time
in same household.
- Always remember that you are using public airwaves when using
your monitor. Conversations, even from rooms near transmitter, may
broadcast to other nursery monitors, radios, cordless telephones, or
scanners outside your home. To protect privacy of your home, always
turn transmitter off when not in use.
