Have you tried pressing the pairing button at the back of the camera unit and press the scroll button at the center of the receiveing monitor at the same time as suggested by the manual? I had the same problem, followed the manual instructions and solved it. (Greetings from Mexicali, M

    This worked! The battery died on the monitor and, when we plugged it back in, suddenly "out of range" was all that the monitor would say. As suggested here, I found the manual and followed the "pairing" instructions, and it worked again. What a relief, since this is not a cheap item! Here are the instructions, in case anyone's lost them (abbreviated a little):

    1) Move camera and monitor near each other. With monitor on, press the menu button on front of the monitor and scroll down to "add/del camera."
    2) At the same time with the camera on, press the "pairing" button on the back (I'd call it the top) of the camera.
    3) You should then see a picture from the camera on the monitor. (I think I had to hold down the pairing button, and go through to "add a camera.") And there was the picture again!

That happens to me sometimes... I have the online instructions saved so I copied this off it for you:


Pairing Monitor and CAMERA:
The Monitor and CAMERA are paired at the factory for privacy reasons. If the Monitor and CAMERA are not paired with each other for any reason, please pair them as described below.
Step 1: Move the Monitor to the same area as the CAMERA. With the Monitor on, press the Menu button on front of Monitor and using the Scroll button move down to the "ADD/DEL CAM" option. Press the Scroll button to select "ADD/CAMERA".
Step 2: At the same time press and hold the scroll button on the monitor and the pairing button on the CAMERA for at least 5 seconds. Then release.
Step 3: You should then see a picture from the CAMERA on the Monitor.
Step 4: If this is unsuccessful, you will see the message "OUT OF RANGE" on the Monitor screen and should repeat steps above making sure the CAMERA and Monitor are close enough to each other for pairing.

Why does it keep "saying" out of range?

if camera and base are within a few feet of one another does it have a problem obtaining a signal (syncing ) ?? as if it works ok then there might be a object that is getting in the way of the signal , radio waves move from its transmitter (camera) towards its receiver (monitor) in a straight line , if there is too large a mass in the way then the radio wave can't penetrate it and will be "lost" also ck both the camera's and bases battery levels (if they have one) for proper peak power level , as it takes energy to drive the radio signal towards its receiver .

Summer infant baby monitor has frozen screen

My monitor was stuck on one of my cameras and when I turned it off and on again it was stuck in the hello screen. I took the battery out and put it in again. Then I pressed the button on the left (I have a best view) and pressed the right arrow key until I got to the view can screen. It turns out something was wrong with just one of my cameras as I could view the other one. I unplugged and replugged that camera and that solved my problem!

My camera is saying out of range can you help

Turn on both camera and monitor. Bring the monitor close to the camera. Press menu button and scroll down to "add camera"
Press and hole the pairing button on the back of the camera and press and hold the centre button on the monitor and hold for a few seconds. The monitor should soon show what the camera sees. Then just close up menu.

Had summer baby monitor for eight months, last night it stopped

Your monitor has become unpaired with your camera. Follow the instructions in the manual to pair them again (basically, tell the monitor piece to Add New Camera while you press the Pair button on the camera). The manuals can be downloaded from www.summerinfant.com.

I just accidentally deleted the camera from the handheld and cannot get it back... now it says no camera is available. This is actually for the Best View monitor (Summer)....so far a piece-o-****.

I know this is an old post but I was having the same problem w/ my monitor. It's an older version but I believe the only difference is it doesn't have the soother. I have the best view day/night handheld. Anyway, I couldn't find help so I did this. From the main menu on the monitor, go 2 add/delete camera & select it by pressing in the middle button that moves the camera around. There is a button on the camera itself. I faced the camera & monitor 2ward eachother & pressed the button on it, along w/ the center (toggle/select) button in the front of the handheld monitor. Careful though, cuz it'll add it more than once & u will have 2 go back & delete.
