SETTING UP THE MONITOR
1.
Check that both Nursery Unit and Parents Unit are set to the same channel.
2. Place the Nursery Unit within 10 feet (2-3 meters) of your baby. Plug an AC adapter
into the jack on the side of the Nursery Unit. Plug it into a working 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Aim the Nursery Unit toward your baby. Check that there are no walls or large
objects that could block sound transmission.
4. Turn on the Nursery Unit using the ON/OFF switch on the left side. The red power
light should come on.
5. Install a 9 volt battery into the Parents Unit, or plug it into a working 120 volt AC
outlet using the other AC adapter.
6. Turn on the Parents Unit using the volume control dial on the right side. The red
power light should come on.
TESTING THE UNITS
It is
VERY IMPORTANT
to test the system when first set up, and at regular times
thereafter. Test the units any time they may have been damaged or have not been
used for a long time.
1. If two adults are present, have one take the Parents Unit to different locations,
trying various volume settings, while the other speaks into the Nursery Unit.
2. If only one adult is available, place a ticking clock, radio, or other sound-producing
device near the Nursery Unit to test it.
3. When testing, keep the level of your childs sounds in mind, and adjust the
volume accordingly.
4. If there is sound interference, switch both the Nursery Unit and the Parents Unit
to the other channel setting.
