- If you used a scanner, you'd know that cordless phones and baby monitors use
- the same bank of frequencies. However, it is unusual to find 'em on the SAME
- frequency. Your phone may have the frequency listed somewhere on it. Return
- the baby monitor, and check to see what frequencies it uses. Most have a
- "channel A/channel B" switch, too, to help avoid these problems.
