My Philips Avent Video Baby Monitor screen is black, but I can still hear audio

If you can hear audio but the parent unit screen is black, the display may simply be turned off.

Check the display status light:

  • Solid white: The display has been turned off while audio monitoring continues. Briefly press the on/off button to turn the display back on.
  • Solid green: Battery saver mode is active. In battery saver mode, the display stays off and wakes after sound is detected. 

If you are still experiencing issues, we can help. Contact us for one-on-one support from one of our experts.
