Yeah that tracks - Also try this order: turn the speed dial to 0/Off, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to wake it, then press Start or Pulse - many won’t spin if the dial isn’t at zero first. Make sure the pitcher handle is on the required side and twist both the jar and lid until you feel a firm click; push down on the lid to engage the safety switch. If yours has a removable power cord or a tiny master switch on the back or bottom, seat the cord fully, flip that switch on, then unplug for a minute and try again.

I've been through a few monitors myself in our two-level home, honestly and the key is getting something with a strong, dedicated signal that doesn't depend on internet, because that model can drop out especially over distance and for ease of setup, go for the plug-and-play types where you power them up and they connect automatically, no fiddling with settings or passwords. Battery backup is crucial if you have power issues. Look for parent units that recharge quickly and hold a charge for a full day or more. On a single income, I'd suggest browsing for affordable options with solid user feedback on range and connection stability, maybe around 50 to 100 bucks. Works great in our place and no more frantic checks during naps. Also, consider if you need video or audio; video ones might drain battery faster but give more peace of mind. We ended up with something simple and it's been reliable through a couple of outages already.

My solution was to avoid the textured dash entirely and go to the windshield. Glass gives the suction cup a perfect seal and the MagSafe head stays steady even on rough roads. If you really want the dash, pick a flatter area with less grain, wipe with alcohol, and press firmly for a slow count to ten so yeah do not place anything over an airbag seam. No wobble.
