Two monitors in one house - how?
MaggieW · 18/08/2003 14:18
Does anyone know how to use two Tomy (non digital)monitors in one home successfully? I need to have one parent/receiver unit downstairs and one upstairs in the loft room and one baby unit with my toddler (can hear him from loft room okay but not downstairs without monitor) and one baby unit with DD (can't hear her from loft room or downstairs without monitor). Can't put both on same channel at the moment as that causes interference and one won't work. So I'm using two different channels and having to remember to take DD monitor to bed with me..ideally would like to run both off same channel - can it be done? I've been trying Tomy's careline but it seems that they don't (care) as they only have an answerphone and haven't replied to several calls made over the past week!

I just checked our model -- we have two TOMY soundarounds, both plugged into the same channel. One of the transmitters is in ds1's bedroom and the other is in ds2's bedroom. One of the receivers (parents units) is downstairs and the other is in our bedroom.
We keep the whole "system" on basically all of the time and it works just fine, although I remember some initial problems getting all the units to settle down. We had to fiddle around a bit between channel A and channel B and the location of the transmitters.
Still, it seems that this is the solution you need.
Hope you can get it sorted, as it really does save an awful lot of faff, carting those parents units around....

Get a digital cordless phone with baby monitor on it. Then you can have as many as you want. My ericsson one does it.
