Warnings
•
This product is NOT a medical device nor a device to prevent
cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
•
This product is NOT a substitute for direct supervision of your
baby. Check your baby’s activities at regular intervals. Monitoring
of premature babies, or those considered to be at risk, should be
carried out only under the supervision of a doctor or health
professional.
•
The Sensor Pads may detect movement from many sources from
both inside and outside your baby’s room, for example: fans,
washing machines, loud music, etc. Ensure that all vibration
sources are eliminated before using the Angelcare
®
Monitor.
Avoid contact with crib when monitor is in use. Refer to the
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment and Troubleshooting
sections.
•
ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright position,
away from baby’s reach.
•
DO NOT touch the end of the adapter cord when plugged into an
electrical outlet.
• The Angelcare
®
Monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals.
The Parents Unit may pick up signals or interference from other
nursery monitors in your area. Your monitor may even be picked
up by other households. To protect your privacy, make sure both
units are in the OFF position when not in use.
• This product should be serviced by qualified personnel. There are
no user serviceable parts inside monitor. Refer all service
questions to your distributor (see page 43).
Instructions
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS: Keep user’s manual for future reference.
WATER, MOISTURE AND HEAT DAMAGE: Keep all components away
from water (sink, bath tub, swimming pool) and places that emit heat
(stove, radiator).
VENTILATION: ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright
position so that air can flow freely around them.
AC POWER SOURCE: Use ONLY the AC adapters supplied with the
Angelcare
®
Monitor.
CORD PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the cords of the Sensor Pads
and adapters. Route cords so that they are not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed upon or against them.
CLEANING: Disconnect all units before cleaning. DO NOT immerse in
water. Use a dry cloth to keep monitor free from dust. DO NOT spray
with cleaning products or solvents. Wipe Sensor Pads with a very
slightly damp cloth with an antiseptic or mild detergent.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or
Sensor Pads through their openings.
NON-USE PERIODS: When not using monitor for long periods,
remove the batteries from both units and disconnect the AC adapters
from electrical outlet.
Testing Your Angelcare
®
Monitor
Note: Test your Angelcare
®
Monitor BEFORE first-time use and then
on a periodic basis.
The Angelcare
®
Monitor can be used outside of the crib, in a different
sleeping area. Test monitor when moving Sensor Pads to a new
location to ensure sensitivity is adjusted correctly to the new padding
or mattress. Consult the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 1. On the Nursery Unit, switch to the "Sound Only" function.
Have someone else speak into the Nursery Unit or place a radio near
Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is
no sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Make sure that both
units are on the same channel, either both on A or B. If reception is
not clear, switch to other channel.
Step 2. Test monitor to detect movement. Switch Nursery Unit to the
"Sound & Movement" function. The Movement indicator light will flash
red, green and then emit a single "Tic" sound. Place your hand on the
mattress. The green light will continue to flash with your every
movement. Remove hand from mattress. Due to no movement, a "pre-
alarm Tic" sound will emit after 15 seconds. 5 seconds later, the alarm
will sound and the red light will flash continuously.
NOTE: If alarm does not sound, the Sensor Pads may be detecting a
continuous vibration from the floor, a strong draft or the crib is being
touched. Avoid contact with crib when monitor is in use. Place crib
near a solid supporting wall and away from strong air currents. The
sensitivity of the Sensor Pads may need to be reduced, consult the
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 3. To stop alarm, place your hand lightly on mattress for Sensor
Pad to redetect movement. The red Alarm indicator light on the
Nursery Unit will continue to flash 1 minute (Figure 3).
Step 4. Verify that the battery mode is functional by operating both
units without the AC adapters. The green Power light should appear on
both units.
Parents Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears,
replace batteries promptly for Model AC201. For Model AC201-R,
recharge Parents Unit for 12 hours.
Nursery Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears a
rapid "clicking" is heard, replace batteries promptly. If not, the light
will eventually turn red and the monitor will stop working.
Operating Tips
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensitivity adjustment dial has been preset to suit
most situations. However in certain circumstances,
the sensitivity may not be ideal. DO NOT increase
sensitivity unless false alarms occurs and you have
followed the advice in the Troubleshooting section for
false alarms. Make a note of the pre-set position of the dial should you
wish to return to it.
The movement indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash orange
when monitor barely detects movement. This could be a result of:
baby being in a very deep sleep or baby having moved away from
Sensor Pad to edge of crib. If alarm does NOT sound, no adjustment
of sensitivity is required. If the Movement indicator light flashes
orange most of the time with baby directly over the location of either
Sensor Pad, a false alarm may occur. If this happens, adjust the
sensitivity.
To adjust sensitivity, increase dial to the next setting. Retest monitor.
Channel selection for sound reception
Make sure that both units are on the same channel, either both on A
or B. If reception is not clear, switch to other channel. If interference
persists, consult the Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: This monitoring system is NOT equipped with an out-of-range
indicator. No sound will be received if the Parents Unit and Nursery
Unit are too far apart.
Yellow Sound Lights
The four Sound Lights allow you to see baby’s sounds. The louder the
sounds from baby, the more lights appear.
