False alarms - the monitor
sounds an alarm although the
child is breathing regularly
1) Whilst breathing the
child’s movement did not
reliably reach the sensor pad.
• For very small babies, the sensor pad can be placed directly
under the sheet (but always use an insulating pad to prevent
liquids leaking into the pad). Placing it here minimizes the
likelihood of false alarms. When the baby starts to move in the
cot, place the sensor pad under the mattress. If the baby lies in
an inclined position (if it should have its head raised as part of
a doctor’s recommendation), there should be good mechanical
contact between the baby, the mattress and the sensor pad.
Prop up the cot base (not just the mattress) to meet this condi-
tion. Or prop up the back legs of the cot.
• Check that the mattress really lies with its entire weight upon
the sensor pad. The mattress must not be clamped tightly
against the walls of the cot so that it does not “float” above the
cot’s base.
2) The sensor pad does not sense the baby’s breathing
properly - the sensor in the pad is probably
mechanically
damaged
(for example due to a fall) or the
pad’s life span has
expired (2 years)
- the sensor pad needs to be replaced.
There was no alarm after ta-
king the baby out of the cot
The sensor pad detects disturbance in the surroundings that
need to be removed. Follow section 4.
After switching on, the device
indicates empty batteries
Make sure you have not used rechargeable batteries (they have
a lower voltage and the device evaluates the situation as low
batteries). Only alkaline batteries can be used.
The lamp does not light
The lamp is deactivated at the factory - follow section 2.2.2.
to activate it. The lamp is also deactivated when the batteries
are low. If you want to continue using it, replace the batteries.

PROBLEMS AND HOW TO SOLVE THEM
I placed the child on the pad
in standby mode, but the
unit does not signal the child
being placed on the pad
This is correct behavior of the monitor. The monitor is
equipped with an intelligent evaluation of the stimulation
on the pad, which constantly monitors the environment and
tries to distinguish the probable movements of the child on
the pad from the surrounding stimulation. It is also equipped
with a timer, which repeats the signaling of the laying of the
baby only if no signal has been detected for a certain time
(10 s) since the previous signaling. Therefore, the monitor will
evaluate that the child may have actually been placed on the
pad, and only then will it alert you of the possible need to switch
the monitor to standby mode. Also check that you have not
deactivated the Switch Guard function (see chapter 2.2.1) - this
would be signaled by a 2x warning beep after switching on
the unit during the automatic functionality test.
