Protect your privacy and online
security
VTech cares about your privacy and peace of mind. That's why we've put together a list of
industry-recommended best practices to help keep your wireless connection private and
your devices protected when online. We recommend you carefully review and consider
complying with the following tips.
Ensure your wireless connection is secure.
• Before installing a device, ensure your router's wireless signal is encrypted by selecting
the "WPA2-PSK with AES" setting in your router's wireless security menu.
Change default settings.
• Change your wireless router's default wireless network name (SSID) to something
unique.
• Change default passwords to unique, strong passwords. A strong password:
- Is at least 10 characters long.
- Is complex.
- Does not contain dictionary words or personal information.
- Contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, special characters and numbers.
Keep your devices up to date.
• Download security patches from manufacturers as soon as they become available. This
will ensure you always have the latest security updates.
• If the feature is available, enable automatic updates for future releases.
Disable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) on your router.
• UPnP enabled on a router can limit the effectiveness of your firewall by allowing other
network devices to open inbound ports without any intervention or approval from you.
A virus or other malware program could use this function to compromise security for the
entire network.

Test the location for the baby unit
If you plan to install your baby unit in a designated
location, and use your home Wi-Fi network to
connect your video monitor, you need to test
which of your selected monitoring areas within
the house have good Wi-Fi signal strength. After
you have powered on your Parent Unit, you
can use your Parent Unit Wi-Fi signal strength
indicator to assist in checking. Once you have
identified the suitable location, you can install
your baby unit. Adjust the distance between
your baby unit and the Wi-Fi router if needed.
• Depending on surroundings and obstructing fac-
tors, such as the effect distance and internal walls
have on signal strength, you may experience re-
duced Wi-Fi signal. To improve the Wi-Fi signal
strength, adjust the distance or direction of your
Parent Unit. Check with your Parent Unit again.
Auto software and firmware update
To ensure that your video monitor is always at its best performance, the parent
unit will prompt a message and ask you to update its software and the baby
unit's firmware when there are new versions available.
• Follow the instructions on the parent unit screen to update your video moni-
tor. If you skip the updates, the parent unit and baby unit will remind you for
update 8 hours later.
Connect your video monitor with home Wi-Fi network
• You must connect your video monitor to your secured home Wi-Fi network
in order to receive the latest software and firmware updates. To set Wi-Fi up,
