POWER SUPPLY

Baby Unit (BU) and Parent unit (PU)

1. Operation from Li battery

The Li polymer battery pack is partially charged up and already installed in the unit. Once switched on, the unit is operational.

1. Charging up the Li battery

Connect the output plug of supplied 5V AC adapter to USB port ⑦ ⑰. The power on indicator ④ ⑪ will light up red during charging (no matter the unit is witched on or not). Once the battery is fully charged up (normally it takes around 4 hours), the indicator ④ ⑪ will go off or turn steady green in case the unit is switched on. Either you can disconnect the AC adapter or keeping connecting it will cause no damage to the battery. In the later case, when the battery is being consumed and voltage falls to a certain level, the AC adapter will automatically start charging up the battery again.

Note: Before using the unit for the first time, charge up the Li polymer battery for at least four hours with the unit in switched off mode.

If the unit cannot be switched on by long press of power button ① or ⑧ check if the battery has totally run low, in case not, use a pointed object to press the reset button ⑱ and then try again.

1. Adjust the microphone sensitivity using the Mic sens button + - ② ③ such that the unit will be set to transmit whenever the microphone ⑥ picks up a sound at your desirable loudness level. The LED level meter ⑤ will change as these buttons are pressed, more number of LED light up means the microphone is more sensitive to sound (maximum is 5 LED and minimum is 1 LED). Press + button ② to increase and - button ③ to reduce microphone sensitivity.

1. Switch on the unit by long press of power button ①⑧. The power indicator will show steady green. If this indicator starts flashing green, the battery level becomes low and need to be recharged using the supplied AC adapter.

This feature is useful to alert the parents of baby's cry in case the volume of speaker ¹⁶ is turned low or off to keep the environment quiet. When the BU stops transmitting, the LED level meter ¹² and link indicator ¹⁴ will go off consecutively.

4. The speaker volume can be adjusted using the volume up/down button ④ - ⑨ 10. The LED level meter ⑫ will change as these buttons are pressed. More LEDs light up means higher volume (maximum 5 LED). When no LED lights up, the speaker ⑯ is totally muted. Press button ⑦ to increase and button -⑩ to reduce volume.

5. Once the PU is beyond the communication range of the BU for over 30 sec, an out of range alarm will be heard together with LED level meter ⑫ start flashing and link indicator ⑭ show red to alert the parents. The alarm will only go off when the PU falls back within the communication range of BU.

N.B. This alarm will also be heard in case the BU is switched off, or its battery has run down.

Once the received baby's voice is loud enough, the vibrator starts to function. This feature is useful when the parent is working under noisy environment (e.g. vacuum cleaning). To save battery power, it is recommended not to use the vibration alert frequently. To switch off vibration, short press the vibration button ⑮ again and the ⑰ indicator ⑮ goes off.
