Section 1: Product Overview

Important Safety Information

The DCS-700L is designed to meet the highest safety standards. Please make sure that it is set up and used correctly. It is very important that you follow the 
safety guidelines below: 

Make sure the DCS-700L and cord are out of baby’s reach.

In general, 

this means the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor and cord should be placed at least 

three feet away from baby’s crib.

Use caution if you wall-mount the DCS-700L.

Be careful not to allow 

the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor cord to dangle between the crib and a wall. You 

should use the three foot minimum spacing between baby and the cord 

in this case, too.

Watch out for other cord hazards. 

While you’re securing the Wi-Fi Baby 

Monitor cord, take a moment to look around for any other strangulation 

hazards as well. One common culprit is window blind cords that are within 

baby’s reach. Cords for other electronics and nursery decor with ribbons 

or decorative cords may also be a risk.

Don’t place the DCS-700L on the crib rail.

Even if you think your baby 

would not touch the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor, it’s too risky to leave it within 

easy reach of your baby. Even camera cords that are secured to the rail 

could be yanked or twisted by a curious child.

Mounting the DCS-700L on tabletops. 

Place the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor on 

a tabletop no less than three feet away from your baby’s crib. Feed the 

power cord down the back of the table or use wall clips to secure the cord 

away so your baby cannot reach the cord.  Plug in the power cord, check 

your smartphone or tablet to ensure that you are getting a good view of 

your child and that there are no obstructions.

As your baby reaches toddlerhood, you should re-evaluate placement 

of the DCS-700L

When little arms get longer and toddlers learn to climb 

and reach for things, you may need to move the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor to 

prevent access to the cord.

You can use the DCS-700L in other places besides the nursery, if it's 

indoors.

When considering alternative locations, avoid placement where 

the camera may come in contact with water. Don’t forget to also check to 

make sure you can place the Wi-Fi Baby Monitor out of baby’s reach.

Do not place the DCS-700L close to water or heat. 

Don't use the Wi-Fi 

Baby Monitor near bathtubs, showers, or sinks. Keep the camera away 

from heat sources such as stoves, radiators, etc.

Strangulation Hazard

: Keep the DCS-700L and any attached cords at least three feet out of reach of any children or babies. 

Make sure you keep any attached cords out of your baby’s crib or child's sleeping area.
