2) Lights only - Simply turn on the light display by moving the switch to
‘mute’, making sure that the unit is not switched off. This is ideal when
entertaining!
PLEASE NOTE: Always make sure that either the Light Display and/or the
volume control are in use to ensure you are monitoring your baby.
About the light display.
●
The moving light display is the semi-circle set of lights around the top of
the parent’s unit. The lights will illuminate when your baby makes a
noise. The louder your baby’s sounds, the more lights will illuminate
from left to right.
PLEASE NOTE: When the red lights are illuminated, baby’s sounds are very
loud.
‘On’ indicator and low battery warning.
●
The red ‘on’ indicator will illuminate when the power switch is at ‘MUTE’
or ‘ON’ to show at a glance that the monitor is functioning.
●
The red ‘on’ indicator dims when batteries in the parent’s unit are low.
Adjustable volume control
●
The level at which you want to hear your baby’s sounds can be set and
adjusted via the rotary volume control at the side of the monitor. Please
ensure the power switch is ‘on’.
●
There is a minimum volume level that the unit is pre-set to, ensuring that
the volume cannot accidentally be turned down too low.
Positioning
●
On the back of the Parent unit is an adjustable clip to allow portable use
of the monitor wherever you are. The clip is designed so the unit can be
clipped to your belt.
●
The clip doubles up as a stand by swivelling downwards, to stand the unit
in an upright position for optimum viewing of the light display (Fig 3).
Tomy have very carefully designed the WALKABOUT CLASSIC monitor to
operate at its best within a generous 100 metres, which suits most homes
and gardens. Depending on environmental conditions you could find the
range extends much further, but you may pick up more interference as the
distance increases. The range, as a general point, may vary depending on
battery power, obstructions such as walls, type of building etc. The range is
greater when both units are powered from the adaptors.
●
We strongly recommend that you test your nursery monitor before you
start using it and regularly thereafter. Start in the ‘On’ mode until you are
familiar with the range and performance. Tests should also be carried out
if the unit’s have been dropped or have not been used for some time.
To Test:
●
An adult should speak softly from the position/distance that the baby will
be in relation to the unit.
●
Another adult should listen to the Parent Unit in various parts of the
house, to ensure that the units remain within range of one another.
●
A ticking clock or radio can be placed in the baby’s room to provide a
continuous check on reception while baby is quiet.
IMPORTANT
●
Position the Parent Unit within clear communication range of the
Baby Unit. The range does vary and can be determined by testing
in your particular environment.
●
It is essential to regularly test to check that your monitor is
working properly.
●
In some houses, battery operation will reduce the range of Walkabout
Classic - especially if steel reinforcement is used in walls or if the
batteries are of inferior quality or exhausted.
FOR BEST RESULTS ALWAYS TRY TO USE THE MAINS POWER SUPPLY
OPERATION IF MONITORING IN THE HOME.
