Q

Please read this operating instruction manual thoroughly.

Intended use

The monitoring set has been developed to monitor rooms. The transmitter sends acoustic and video signals from its point of installation to the receiver. Any other use is considered unintended use.

The use of this equipment does not substitute personal supervision, e.g. of a child. Users are not relieved of their personal liability.

Unauthorised modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the device or complete any repair work yourself.

Installation location and safety information

Never lay the transmitter in a baby's/child's bed or playpen.

Ensure that the transmitter and power cable are out of reach of babies/children, i.e. they are at least one meter away.

Pay attention that the components are sufficiently well-ventilated when in operation. Do not lay a cushion, towel or such over the devices.

The devices are not intended for medical purposes. Warning and signal tones from respiratory or heartbeat monitoring equipment are not transmitted.

The installation location plays a decisive role in ensuring proper operation. Maintain a minimum distance of one meter to other electronic equipment, such as microwave ovens or hi-fi systems, since they could cause mutual disturbance.

Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight.

Do not use the equipment in potentially explosive areas.

Power adapter plug

Attention: Only use the power adapter plugs contained in the material supplied since other power adapter plugs could damage the monitoring set. Ensure access to the power adapter plugs is not obstructed by furniture or such.

When using the equipment with a power adapter plug, pay attention that the plug and cable are in perfect condition. Kinked or worn cable represents the risk of a fatal accident.

Rechargeable batteries

Attention: Never throw batteries into a fire. Only use batteries of the same type! Pay attention to correct polarity.

Power failure

In the event of a power failure, the devices only operate through battery power. Disconnect the power adapter plugs from the devices in this case.

Medical equipment

Attention: Never use the devices in the vicinity of medical equipment. Effects on such equipment cannot be fully ruled out.

Disposal

In order to dispose of your device, take it to a collection point provided by your local public waste authorities (e.g. recycling centre). According to laws on the disposal of electronic and electrical devices, owners are obliged to dispose of old electronic and electrical devices in a separate waste container. The adjacent symbol indicates that the device must not be disposed of in normal domestic waste!

Risks to health and the environment from batteries!

Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment. They could contain toxic and ecologically harmful heavy metals. You are legally obliged to dispose of batteries at the point-of-sale or authorised collection points where the corresponding containers are provided.

Disposal is free of charge. The above symbols indicate that the batteries must not be disposed of in domestic waste and that they must be disposed of at an authorised collection point.

Packaging materials must be disposed of according to local regulations.

Safety information

Attention: It is essential to read the Safety Information in Chapter 1 before starting up.

The data transmitted (image and/or sound) can be received publicly in the reception range!

Checking the package contents

The package contains:

one camera unit(transmitter)	one monitoring unit(receiver)	one lithium ion battery3.7 V, 1200 mA
two power adapter plugs one	charging station an operating manual

Connecting the transmitter

Attention: Position the transmitter with a minimum distance of 1 m to other electronic devices, otherwise there is a risk of mutual disturbance.

Operating with a power adapter plug

Connect the transmitter as illustrated in the diagram. For safety reasons, only use the power adapter plug supplied.

Mains power outlet

Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.

Putting the Units into Operation

Connecting the receiver

Attention: Position the receiver with a minimum distance of 1 m to other electronic devices, otherwise there is a risk of mutual disturbance.

Operating with a power adapter plug

Connect the charging station of the receiver as illustrated in the diagram. For safety reasons, only use the power adapter plug supplied.

Mains power outlet

Attention: Only use the power adapter plug supplied. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by furniture or such.

Operating by rechargeable battery

Slide the battery compartment cover on the rear of the receiver downwards. Insert the battery with the contacts facing down.

Lithium ion battery 3.7 V, 1200 mA

The receiver is supplied together with a rechargeable lithium ion battery (3.7 V, 1200 mA).

Registering the receiver and transmitter / Establishing a connection

The receiver and transmitter are registered. If necessary, registration can also be completed manually:

1. Press and hold the Brightness control (3) and, while doing so, switch the LCD switch (9) to ON.
2. Insert a small pointed object in the opening at position (20) to actuate the Pairing button once. The connection LED on the Camera unit flashes briefly.

5.1. Pair ID for Cam1 appears in the display.
6. Then switch the LC display switch (9) OFF and ON again.

When a connection is established, the image viewed by the lens appears in the display.

If you use several Camera units, you must press the Pairing button the respective number of times.

4 Operating the Transmitter

Check the transmitter and receiver are working properly each time before the equipment is put into operation.

Switching the transmitter on/off

1. Set the Power switch (22) to its "ON" position. The Power LED (15) lights up red. The transmitter is now ready to operate.
2. Position the transmitter in a good position for the monitoring tasks required and align the lens to the area to be monitored.
3. To switch the transmitter off, set the Power switch (22) to its "OFF" position.
4. When the VOX switch is set to "CAMERA" (21), the image and ambient sounds are transmitted continually. When set to "AUTO" (21), ambient sounds and the image are transmitted from a sound level of approx. 50 dB.

VOX sensitivity

The VOX ^1 function causes the system to start transmitting automatically from the transmitter to the receiver immediately a voice or sound is detected.

There is a slight delay in the transmission before the receiver can reproduce the voice/sound and picture.

If no voice or sound is detected for longer than one minute, transmission is automatically interrupted.

Night vision

The integrated infrared technology enables image transmission from unlit areas. The night vision function is activated automatically when the light conditions make it necessary.

When the night vision function is activated, the screen display on the receiver turns to black and white. The transmission range is approx. 2 m in this case.

Night light

The night light can be switched on either continuously or automatically on detecting sound levels of 50 dB or more.

1. Set the Night Light switch (23) to "ON". The night light is switched on permanently.
2. Set the Night Light switch (23) to "OFF". The night light is switched off.
3. Set the Night Light switch (23) to "AUTO". The night light is switched on automatically from a sound level of approx. 50 dB.

5 Operating the Receiver

Check the transmitter and receiver are working properly each time before the equipment is put into operation.

Switching the receiver on/off

1. Set the LCD ON/OFF switch (9) to "ON". The Power LED lights up green. The receiver is now ready to operate.
2. To switch the receiver off, set the LCD ON/OFF switch (9) to "OFF".

Setting the volume

Press the (6+) button to increase the volume.
Press the (6-) button to lower the volume.
Set the required volume.

Setting the brightness

Press the (3+) button to increase the brightness.
Press the (3-) button to reduce the brightness.
Set the required brightness.

Selecting a channel

The default setting for channel selection is Channel 1. The monitoring system is capable of managing 4 transmitters at 4 different locations with one monitoring unit. Use the Channel Selector switch (12) for this.

Power LED / Battery status LED

The Power LED (4) (green) also functions as the battery status LED. It flashes orange when the battery needs to be recharged.

Reset

Use the Reset button (11) to return the monitoring system to its default settings.
