Intended use

A parent must always stay within range of the monitor during use. Your Baby Monitor is not a medical device, nor a device to prevent cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome or 'cot death', and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing. It is important that you regularly check on your baby personally

Safety notes

It is essential to read the “General Information” at the beginning of this manual before starting up.

Checking the package contents

The package contains:

1 Parent unit (receiver)	1 mains adapter with charger pod2 NiMH rechargeable batteriesType AAA, 800 mAh
1 Baby unit (sender) 1 mains adapter with power cord

At the Parent Unit

1. Remove the Belt Clip by lifting the clip (14) at the top and sliding it downwards.
2. Then remove the battery cover (15) on the back of the Parent Unit by applying pressure and sliding it down. Insert the rechargeable batteries as marked on the unit and close the cover again.
3. Place the Parent Unit into the Charger Pod.
4. Plug the mains adaptor into a mains power socket. The red charger light on the charger pod will illuminate indicating that the Parent Unit is charging (the light will remain on to ensure optimum charge is maintained).

Before first use, or if it has been out of use for a long time, the Parent Unit will need to be charged for 13 hours. During this time, the Parent Unit will operate from the Charger pod when switched on. Note that the Parent Unit cannot be used without batteries, even if it is placed in the charger.

At the Baby Unit

1. In event of a power failure, your Baby Monitor can switch to battery power. It is therefore recommended that you insert non-rechargeable batteries in the Baby Unit.
2. Remove the battery cover on the back of the Baby Unit by applying pressure and sliding it down. Insert 3 alkaline batteries of the type AA (not provided) as marked on the unit and close the cover again. Do not use rechargeable batteries in the Baby Unit.
3. Plug the power cord into the power input at the side of the Baby Unit and plug the adaptor plug into a mains power socket.
4. Press and hold the "Power Key" until the red Power light on the front of the Baby Unit illuminates.

The Baby Unit should be placed about 1 m to 1.5 m away from the baby's cot on a flat surface. Never place the Baby Unit inside the cot, bed or playpen. Make sure the unit, cords and mains adaptor are out of reach of the baby and other young children. Never place either Unit on antique or polished surfaces.

4 Operation

Once you have set up your Baby Monitor, you will be able to hear the sounds in your baby's room through the Parent Unit. You should also be able to "see" those sounds as the green and red sensor lights around the top of the Parent Unit rise and fall with the sound levels.

If the connection between the Parent and Baby Units is broken at any time the green Link light on the Parent Unit will flash slowly, the parent unit will beep to alter you that the link has been lost and the green and red sensor lights will cease to react to any sounds. To re-establish the Link, move closer to the baby unit or follow the directions in chapter "Troubleshooting".

Switching your Baby Monitor On or Off

Once connected to the power supply, your Baby unit and Parent Unit must both be switched on to operate. To switch on, press and release the “Power Key” on each Unit. To switch off, press and hold the “Power Key”.

Volume

You can adjust the volume at which you hear your baby by using the “Up” and “Down” keys on the side of the Parent Unit. Whilst you are adjusting the volume, the 5 green sound sensor lights act as an indicator of the volume level.

Battery Level Indicator/Battery Low Warning

The Parent Unit will work up to 10 hours out of the Charger Pod, but this depends on the level of charge in the batteries. If the charge is low, the red Power light on the Parent Unit will begin to flash and you should return it to the Charger Pod to recharge the batteries. You can still use your Parent Unit from the Charger Pod.

When you first switch on your Parent Unit, the green and red sensor lights will briefly indicate the current charge level of the batteries in the following way:

8 lights illuminated = fully charged
6 lights illuminated = half charged
4 lights illuminated = battery is running low
2 lights (alarm beep sounds) = batteries need re-charging

A battery low warning beep will sound if the charge is low, or becomes low during use and the red power light on the Parent Unit will begin to flash. If this occurs you should return the Parent Unit to the Charge Pod to re-charge the batteries. You can still use your Parent Unit from the Charge Pod whilst the batteries are charging.

Baby Alert

If the volume of your Parent Unit is turned all the way down and you are just using the lights to monitor the noise levels in your baby's room, you will hear a warning beep on the Parent Unit should the noise levels in your baby's room increase to the point that the red sound sensor lights are showing. To stop the alert tone and turn off the Baby Alert feature, just turn the volume back up at the Parent Unit.

Parent to Parent Paging

Useful if one parent is in the baby's room and needs contact the other. Also helps to find a mislaid Parent Unit.

At the Baby Unit

Press and hold the "Page key". The Parent Unit will emit a paging tone. To cancel the tone either press and hold any key on the Parent Unit, or press the "Page key" on the Baby Unit a second time.

Night Light

The Baby Unit has a one touch night light which emits a soft starry glow, providing comfort and re-assurance for your baby and allowing you to see them in a darkened room.

At the Baby Unit

Press the "Night Light Key" on the top of the unit. A soft light will turn on gently. Press again and the light will fade away.
