When using your monitor, follow these simple safety tips:

• Keep all cords, transmitters and adapters out of baby’s reach.

• Make sure your batteries are always charged so you don’t miss baby’s cries.

• Even though your monitor should alert you of any distress, don’t rely solely on it. Check on your baby every now and then if he is alone in a room for a long period of time.

• Don’t ever use the monitor near water sources such as in the bathroom or kitchen.

• After you purchase your monitor, send in the registration card so the manufacturer can alert you of any recalls.

Your budget will depend on what features you decide are important to your family. Expect to pay $40 - $90 for the radio transmitter monitors, and up to $300 for the video monitors.
