as allocated by the FCC. Therefore, it is possible for receiv-  
ers on the same frequency to monitor your conversations

and/or cause interference on your room monitor. This can  
occur on any device that uses standard radio frequencies.  
• Turn the transmitter off when not in use since it continues  
to transmit as long as power is on.  
Caution:  
The room monitor is designed to assist adults in child  
supervision. It does not replace watchful and responsible care  
of a child. To hear its transmissions, you must stay within the  
room monitor’s range when you are using it, and you should  
regularly monitor its transmissions to ensure it receives proper-  
ly.  
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW  
Your room monitor might cause TV or radio interference even  
when it is operating properly. To determine whether your room  
monitor is causing the interference, turn off your room monitor.  
If the interference goes away, your room monitor is causing it.  
Try to eliminate the interference by:  
• Moving your room monitor away from the device that is  
receiving interference  
• Connecting your room monitor’s transmitter to an outlet  
that is on a different electrical circuit from the device that is  
receiving interference  
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help  
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that  
you stop using your room monitor.

ˆ Preparation  
SELECTING A LOCATION  
You can place the transmitter on a desktop or table, or mount it  
on a wall. And, you can carry the receiver with you. Select a lo-  
cation for the transmitter that is:  
• Near an AC outlet  
• Out of the reach of children  
• Out of the way of normal activities  
• Away from electronic machinery, electrical appliances,  
metal walls or filing cabinets, wireless intercoms, alarms,  
and cordless phones  
The transmitter’s location affects the receiver’s range. If you  
have a choice of several locations, try each to see which pro-  
vides the best performance.  
POWERING THE TRANSMITTER  
The transmitter operates either from AC power (with the sup-  
plied AC adapter) or four AA batteries (not supplied). For the  
longest life we recommend RadioShack alkaline batteries.  
Using AC Power  
DC 9V  
1. Insert the supplied AC adapter’s barrel plug into the  
jack.  
6
Preparation  
 
43-489rc.fm Page 7 Tuesday, October 3, 2000 10:12 AM  
Caution:  
The supplied RadioShack adapter was designed  
specifically for your room monitor. Use only the supplied  
adapter.  
2. Plug the adapter’s AC plug into a standard AC outlet.  
Unplug the adapter when you are not going to use the transmit-  
ter for a long time.  
Caution:  
To prevent a possible short circuit, always unplug the  
adapter from the AC outlet first, then unplug it from the transmit-  
ter.  
Using Batteries  
Battery  
Compartment  
Cover  
1. Open the transmitter’s battery compartment cover by pull-  
ing it in the direction of the arrow on the cover.  
2. Install four AA batteries in the compartment as indicated by  
the polarity symbols (+ and –) marked inside the compart-  
ment.  
3. Replace the cover.

Preparation  
 
43-489rc.fm Page 8 Tuesday, October 3, 2000 10:12 AM  
Warning:  
Dispose of old batteries promptly and properly. Do  
not burn or bury them.  
Cautions:  
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and type.  
• Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batter-  
ies (standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable  
batteries of different capacities.  
• If you do not plan to use your transmitter for a week or  
more, or you plan to use only AC power, remove the batter-  
ies. Batteries might leak chemicals that can damage the  
transmitter’s electronic circuits.  
Notes:  
• If the range decreases or the POWER indicator does not  
light when you turn on the transmitter, replace the batteries.  
• When you connect the AC adapter, the batteries are auto-  
matically disconnected.  
CONNECTING AND CHARGING THE  
RECEIVER’S BATTERY  
The receiver comes with a rechargeable 3.6V nickel- cadmium  
battery pack installed in the battery compartment. Before using  
it, you must connect the battery, then charge it for about 10  
hours.  
Caution:  
Do not place the receiver onto the charger before you  
connect the AC adapter to the charger.

5. Replace the cover.  
6. Insert the supplied adapter’s barrel plug into the charger’s  
DC 9V  
jack.  
Caution:  
The supplied RadioShack adapter was designed  
specifically for your room monitor. Use only the supplied  
adapter.

9. Place the receiver into the charging slot on the charger.  
The POWER/CHARGE indicator on the charger lights.  
After the battery is charged, you can use the receiver while it is  
still in the charger. If you carry the receiver around with you,  
place it back in the charger when you are through using it so it  
can charge.  
If the POWER indicator does not light recharge the battery.  
Notes:  
• If the POWER/CHARGE indicator does not light when you  
place the receiver into the charger, be sure the AC adapter  
is correctly and securely connected. Also, check the charg-  
ing contacts on the receiver and the charger. If the contacts  
are dirty or tarnished, clean them with a pencil eraser.  
• The supplied battery should last for several years. If the  
battery will not hold a charge for more than 2 hours after an  
overnight charge, replace the battery. You can order a  
replacement from your local RadioShack store.

Important:  
The EPA certified RBRC Battery Re-  
cycling Seal on the nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) bat-  
tery indicates RadioShack is voluntarily  
participating in an industry program to collect and  
recycle these batteries at the end of their useful  
life, when taken out of service in the United States or Canada.  
The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing  
used Ni-Cd batteries into the trash or the municipal waste  
stream, which may be illegal in your area. Please call 1-800-

ˆ Troubleshooting  
If a problem occurs, check that:  
• Both the transmitter and the receiver are on.  
• Both adapters are plugged in firmly, or the transmitter’s  
adapter is plugged in firmly (or the transmitter has fresh  
batteries).  
• The receiver has a charged battery.  
• Volume on the receiver is turned up.  
• Both the transmitter and the receiver are set to the same  
channel.  
If you cannot solve the problem, bring your room monitor to  
your local RadioShack store for assistance.  
CARE  
Modifying or tampering with the monitor’s internal components  
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and  
void your FCC authorization to operate it. If your monitor is not  
performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store  
for assistance.
