There are some special preparations that need to be made, in addition to the usual adjustments when bringing a baby home. You should follow these guidelines:

• Place the monitor on a sturdy shelf, out of the reach of children.
• Do not place the monitor near a radio or TV -- it may cause interference.
• Keep a clear pathway to the baby's room.
• Keep a clipboard, pen and event sheets by your baby's crib.
• Keep a flashlight near the crib to check the baby when the alarm sounds.
• You should put a phone in the baby's room in case of emergency.
