Nightingale
Baby Alarm Monitor
STANDARD VERSION
Using other baby alarms
The NIGHTINGALE Baby Alarm Monitor can be used with many other baby
alarms. However, you must first make sure that the baby alarm power adaptor is
capable of driving the NIGHTINGALE.
The power supply requirements are 6-10V dc, rated at 250mA and the connector
size is a 2.1mm dc jack, centre positive. It will probably be necessary to adjust the
sensitivity of the NIGHTINGALE – as detailed below.
Connect up the baby alarm as in the manufacturer’s instructions, then fit the
Nightingale between the Parent Unit and its power cable just as in the diagram
on page 4.
Please contact Connevans Customer Services if you require help or advice.
Adjustment of sensitivity control for use with earlier
Walkabout models or other makes of baby alarm
The NIGHTINGALE is factory set to suit the Tomy
Walkabout Classic (as indicated on front of
Nightingale) and if used with these models is unlikely
to need any adjustment. The Connevans Nightingale
will need factory modification for use with earlier
models of the Tomy.
There is a sensitivity control hidden under the label,
under the dotted circle. This control allows adjustment for use with other models or
makes of baby alarms.
First pierce the label with a pin, then use a small (2.5mm) screwdriver to enlarge
the hole and make the adjustment, if necessary peel back the rear label. Turn the
screw a very small amount – ideally no more than one eighth of a turn (45°) at a
time – then try the system for a while before adjusting again.
To make less sensitive – turn ANTICLOCKWISE
To make more sensitive – turn CLOCKWISE.
Sensitivity can also be increased by switching the Tomy Parent’s unit to
“ON” rather than “MUTE”; turning up the volume control will then increase
the Nightingale sensitivity.

Options
There is an external drive output socket for
use with the optional separate vibrator or
xenon strobe.
When this socket is in use, the internal
vibrator in the NIGHTINGALE is disabled.
Flashing xenon strobe
Ideal for day use as you do not need to be physically close to the unit at all times.
The xenon strobe is plugged into the external drive output socket and flashes
brightly when the system is activated. All other connections remain the same.
When connected, the internal
NIGHTINGALE vibrator is disabled so that
it does not vibrate off the table onto the
floor!
Alarm clock
The Connevans modified alarm clocks come with a double ended lead. One end
plugs into the Clock Input at the end of the
NIGHTINGALE, the other end simply plugs into
the socket at the back of the alarm clock.
Set the alarm as usual, when the alarm goes off,
the NIGHTINGALE will vibrate and the Green
Alarm Clock Alert will light up.
Separate vibrator
The separate vibrator is plugged into the external drive output socket. All other
connections remain the same.
The vibrator is placed as shown on the
previous page. When connected, the
internal NIGHTINGALE vibrator is disabled
so that only the separate vibrator vibrates.
