About the VTech Baby Monitor

How to Fix the Volume on a VTech Baby Monitor

Below are some easy and quick fixes to hopefully get the monitor back to the proper working function.

Speaker  Volume

Adjusting the volume on the speaker is the easiest way to troubleshoot your monitor. 

Some monitors will have a volume button on the device, but if yours doesn’t, there is another way to adjust that setting.

Adjusting the volume can be done on the parent unit with the following units:

1. On the parent unit, press the menu button.
2. Use the arrow buttons and navigate toward the volume settings
3. Once the volume settings are open, press the up arrow to make the volume louder

Hopefully, this option works and gets your monitoring back up and running, but if it doesn’t, keep reading. There are more options for you!

Reset your Devices

Sometimes with technology, the easiest thing to do is the good ol’ turn off and then turn it back on.

 Similarly, a way to fix your monitoring being too quiet is to reset it!

To reset your monitor, you will simply press the reset button on the back of the monitor. This is a tiny button; you will need a slim device to do this.

It’s also a good idea to reset the camera; this way, the connection to both devices is reset and can be reconnected easily.

Signal or Connection Issue

Signal issues can occur for many different reasons.

These include:

• The antenna on the back of the monitor is broken or not all the way up 
• The distance is too far between the camera and the monitor
• Obstructions, such as a thick wall, are in the way
• Improper position of one of the units
• One unit is out of range of the other

The best solution for this issue is to try to move the monitor and camera closer to each other as possible. 

The closer the devices are, the better signal they will get.

Also, always make sure the antenna on the back of the monitor is all the way up so it can receive the best signal from the camera.

Faulty Speakers

If the above solutions didn’t work, there is a chance that the speaker you have is having a bigger problem and might need to be replaced.

A faulty speaker can be caused by a number of different things. One of which could be a loose wire inside the monitor.

If the speaker is faulty, contacting the manufacturer might be the best bet, or purchasing a new one may be needed,

Contact Support

Different types of devices have different types of support.

When your VTech Speaker decides to be too quiet, try contacting support, resetting the volume setting, resetting the monitor, or checking for a poor signal and/or a loose wire.

If the above options don’t work, you could try VTech support. This support could either be online or in the user manual!

In Conclusion

Baby monitors provide a piece of mind new parents and parents of little ones love to have and can help ensure your children are safe even if you are not in the room with them.

Even though these are made to help parents, there are still technical problems that can happen.

After trying some of the fixes mentioned above, hopefully, you were able to get your monitor back up to the volume you desired!
