Connecting the New Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter
If you have purchased an additional Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter, you must first connect it with
your Birth Alarm Advanced receiver before using it. Connecting
–
which means "pairing" of an
additional transmitter
–
goes as follows.
•
Prepare the new transmitter according to the steps in chapter 3.
•
Switch on the new Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter as described in 3.2.
•
Now press the button with the caption "pair" on the circuit board of the Birth Alarm
Advanced transmitter.
•
On the receiver, click as soon as possible on one of the empty tabs (to which you have not
yet connected another transmitter).
•
Your Birth Alarm Advanced receiver will connect the new transmitter with the tab you have
clicked.
Once connected, the new Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter will remember its number and log in
again next time. So, in principle, you only have to do this "pairing" once.

Programming other settings
8.1
Sleep mode
You use the sleep mode of the Birth Alarm Advanced if your peri-parturient mare rests fully stretched
or sleeps. The sleep mode is a certain adjustment in the operation of the Birth Alarm Advanced. This
adjustment ensures that an alarm as a result of the mare's only resting fully stretched is prevented.
When you use the sleep mode, the Birth Alarm Advanced will check if your mare is lying stretched
and is restless as well, as is the case with contractions. You can
enable
the sleep mode as follows:
•
Slide the switch labelled "sleep mode" to the right.
•
After the next signal from the Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter
the sleep mode will be switched on.
Similarly, you can always
switch off
the sleep mode again:
•
Slide the switch labelled "sleep mode" to the left.
•
After the next signal from the Birth Alarm Advanced transmitter the
sleep mode will be switched off.

Angle setting
The Birth Alarm Advanced responds to the mare lying down with extended legs. In other words, it
"measures" the extent to which your mare lies on its side. On average, an angle greater than 65° may
be considered "abnormal" and the Birth Alarm Advanced will act on it. The Birth Alarm Advanced is
set to 65° by default. However, you can raise this 65° threshold yourself if desired, so that the Birth
Alarm Advanced comes into action later, or becomes less sensitive. To change the angle setting (for
example to 70°) complete the following steps:
