Common Causes
- Camera unit powered off or unplugged

How to Fix It
-
Check that the camera unit is plugged in and powered on.
Look for the power LED on the camera. If using battery power, it may need charging.
-
Move the parent unit closer to the camera.
Walls and floors reduce range significantly. Try within the same room first to confirm the units work.
-
Turn both units off, wait 30 seconds, and turn them back on.
A restart re-establishes the wireless connection.
-
Re-pair the units following the manual instructions.
If the units lost their pairing, they need to be paired again. Hold the PAIR button on both units simultaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Motorola baby monitor have?
Most Motorola models advertise 1,000-foot range, but indoors expect 100-200 feet. Walls, floors, and metal significantly reduce effective range.
Can Wi-Fi routers cause No Signal?
Wi-Fi does not cause No Signal directly, but it can cause interference that weakens the monitor's signal. Keep the monitor units away from the router.
