MONITOR
Monitoring baby’s sounds
Both Parent units can be used at the same time. To use the units to listen to your baby:
• Position the Baby unit at least 1 metre away from the baby so that the microphone (A-1) can pick up
baby’s sounds.
• Set the channel switch to the same position on both units.
• Push the
POWER
switch on the baby unit (A-4) to switch it on.
• The green
TRANSMIT
light (A-3) lights when a sound is picked up.
• Move away from the Baby unit with the Parent unit.
• Switch on the big Parent unit using the Volume control/Off (C-4) and adjust the volume to the level
you prefer.
• Switch on the small Parent unit using the Volume control/Off (B-5) and adjust the volume to the level
you prefer.
The green
SYSTEM CHECK
lights (B-1, C-2) light continuously when the Parent units and the Baby unit
are in touch with each other.

FEATURES
Avoiding interference
All units use anti-interference technology to reduce the chance of interference from other signals. If
interference does occur or if sound reception is poor, try switching all units to the other channel to
improve the sound quality.
Note
: Always make sure that the channel selection switches (A-6, B-8, C-7) on all units are set to the
same position.
Sound-level lights
The big Parent unit has sound-level lights (C-5), which visually alert you to baby’s sounds even when
the volume control is turned down. The louder the sound received from the Baby unit, the more lights
light.
Checking that the units are in touch
The green
SYSTEM CHECK
lights (B-1, C-2) of the Parent units light continuously to show that the Parent
units and the Baby unit are in touch with each other. This light flashes if the Baby unit is out of range
for more than 30 seconds or if the signal is blocked.
When the units are no longer in touch, try one of the following:
• Move the Parent unit closer to the Baby unit. (The maximum operating distance is 200m in ideal
conditions. Walls and floors can limit this distance.)
• Switch all units to the other channel.
• Check that the units are powered correctly (low batteries?).
Switching on the audible warning
If you wish, you can switch on a special feature that lets you hear an audible warning on the small
Parent unit when the units are not in touch. The small Parent unit is delivered with this beep switched
off to avoid intermittent disturbances that can occur when the connection is interrupted for a short
period.
To switch on the audible warning, open the small Parent unit’s battery compartment cover (B-9) and set
the switch (B-12) inside to the On position ( ).
Note
: The
SYSTEM CHECK
light (B-2) continues to operate even if the audible warning is switched off.
Belt clip
When the batteries of the small Parent unit are charged, the unit can be carried around giving you
freedom of movement while still monitoring your baby. Use the belt clip (B-7) to attach the unit to your
clothing and so keep your hands free. The belt clip can be removed by unclipping the top and sliding
it downwards. (The big Parent unit also has a belt clip for carrying it when it is used with batteries.)
Finder feature
If you misplace the small parent unit, you can find it again by switching off the baby unit. About 30
seconds later the small parent unit will start beeping.
Note
: This only works if the audible warning is switched on inside the battery compartment of the
small parent unit (see Switching on the audible warning).
