Designed for parents who want to keep their connection with baby as private as possible, the Private Connection provides a choice of 10 channels on its discreet transmitter, thereby reducing the likelihood of either someone picking up your transmission or crossover marring your connection. At the same time, 900 MHz technology offers a more powerful signal, a greater range than most nursery monitors, and crystal clear sound.
Large, Easy-to-Read LCD Display
The Private Connection boasts a large, clear LCD that shows battery level, channel, volume, and range; the five-LED display shows the sound level when the volume is turned down. With this clever design, you can hear a baby's call and see it, too, making it easier to readily decide if baby needs assistance.
The Private Connection measures 3.3 x 11.9 x 12.2 inches (WxHxD), weighs 2.5 pounds, and comes with two 3.6-volt rechargeable NiCd batteries and a compatible charger power adaptor.

Customer Reviews
read if you plan on using the AC adapter!
Monitor itself works fine -- but not if you plan on using the AC adapter.....
Fisher Price customer service recommends that the AC adapter should not be plugged into the reciever for more than 13 hours at a time or the rechargeable battery and/or unit will be damaged. In my mind that makes the product useless if you intend on using the AC adapter -- you'll have to remember to unplug it every morning or risk wrecking the thing! (the fisher price rep actually told me I'd "fry it").
Excellent
We have been very happy with this product. We used to have to move our one receiver around with us when we wanted to hear if the kids woke up in the night. The two receivers make the logistics much easier. The choice of channels also reduces interference and makes getting good reception pretty easy.
Excellent range, overall great product
I have had this monitor for four months and am very happy with it. It's easy to use and it doesn't interfere with my cordless phones or wireless network. It does pick up some static when we use the microwave, but it's not horrible. I was really surprised when I took one of the receivers outside to do yard work and realized I could go anywhere in the yard (which is over an acre) and still get reception, even with the base unit inside the house. It warns you if the reception is lost, which is also smart. The rechargeable batteries last a long time and you can plug it in while using it too. I do believe there is a design flaw though -- why is the channel button so big and in such a prominent spot? It seems to me you just set that once and then never touch it again, so the placement of that button seems odd to me. But overall it's a great product, no complaints.
UPDATE: one of the receivers quit working after four months of use. I called FP and they are sending a new one. Since it was a shower gift I didn't have a receipt showing the purchase date so I was expecting them to give me a hard time. Happily, they didn't seem to need it, which is impressive. Very good customer service. So I guess I'm still happy with this product.
