subject: Solving Interference Problems With A Handheld Baby Monitor [print this page] Although the technology available today is much better than that which was made available to our parents and grandparents, all electronics equipment comes with disadvantages. When it emerged, everyone raved about the digital experience and how much greater it was than analog. As the years went by since its inception, people have realized that there are negatives tied to digital signals that weren't experienced with analog technology. There are risks and issues with all digital products, and a digital baby monitor is no exception.
When you buy a digital baby monitor, whether a standard base model or a handheld one, one of the first things you notice is that these products are wireless. As you have likely seen with your cell phone and cordless home phone, it is common to have interference problems that affect your signal and sound quality. The good thing is that there are ways that you can solve this annoying disturbance.
If you have other devices on the same frequency as your monitor, you are bound to get interference. A good base model or handheld baby monitor will be equipped with a switch that allows you the ability to change frequencies, so you can change channels to avoid the interruption from other electronic objects. Another way to solve this problem is to move the transmitter and receiver units to locations that are distant from other devices which could have the same frequency. This would include wireless routers, cordless phones, and wireless speakers. Even your microwave can interfere with the reception of your digital baby monitor, so be careful of its placement when you are in the kitchen.
These suggestions may not solve your interference problem, but they will surely minimize the occurrence of these bothersome situations. Buying an older analog model could negate these interruptions, as they are practically outdated technology and there aren't many electronics which use this methodology anymore. You can acquire these at a price that your wallet will like, but keep in mind that you can't buy an analog handheld baby monitor, so if you need flexibility in movement, these will not work for you.
