Test
You can test function of the BABY CONTROL in the following way (should be tested once a
week):
1. If the baby is in the bed and the unit is ON, the green indicator should flash as the baby is
breathing or moving.
2. Leave the unit ON and take the baby out of the bed. The green indicator may continue to
blink for a certain time (vibrations of the bed caused by the baby’s removal). Do not hold or
touch the bed – the device may detect your breathing.
3. When the flashing has stopped for 12 seconds, the unit will make warning beeps and will
start the alarm sound. The red indicator should flash when the alarm is triggered. Stop alarm
by pressing the button.
If the device does not work as described above, check that:
1. There is a beep after switching it on. If not or the digital display shows error "E" then check
the batteries. For safety reason the unit can not be switched off until you remove/replace the
batteries.
2. After taking the baby out of the bed the green indicator stops flashing (within a minute or
so) – if not, the device is detecting some intrusive vibrations – see the following warning.
Important warning:
The BABY CONTROL is a very sensitive instrument, capable of sensing a sleeping baby’s
breathing. Intrusive vibrations of the bed, the floor or the entire building can influence its
performance. The bed should not be in physical contact with another bed (which is used by
another person or animal) or with any device that generates vibrations. Intrusive vibrations can
also be caused by a powerful air movement (fan, air-conditioning…), by walking close the bed
and by other sources. If you move the bed to a new location, you should test the BABY
CONTROL before you use it.
Do not use a mattress made of hard material such as expanded polystyrene– it may result in
the failure of the device (such materials are extremely sensitive to air movements).
To avoid any disturbance please see the „Setting Sensitivity Level” part.
„ Twins” operation (only for BC-230i)
Using the device for twins:
It is essential that each baby has its own bed and there are separate sensor pads installed in
each bed. The beds cannot touch. The children cannot even share one bed!
Incorrect solutions can endanger one baby’s life!
