Installationlocationandsafetyinformation

1. Neverlaythetransmitterinababy's/child'sbedorplaypen.

2. Ensure that the transmitter and power adapter plug are always out of reach of babies/children.

3. Pay attention that all the components are sufficiently well-ventilated when in operation. Do not lay a cushion, towelorsuchoverthedevices.
4. The devices are not intended for medical purposes. Warning and signal tones from respiratory or heartbeat monitoring equipment are not transmitted.
5. The installation location plays a decisive role in ensuring proper operation. Maintain a minimum distance of onemetertootherelectronicequipment, such as microwaveovensorhi-fisystems, since they could cause mutual disturbance.
6. Prevent excessive exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight.
7. Donotusetheequipmentinpotentiallyexplosiveareas.

If you have several transmitters available, you must use them to select the different channels (CH1-CH4) individually and press the Code button foreach transmitter. There receiver supports up to four transmitters.

5OperatingtheTransmitter

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

Switchingthetransmitteron/off

1. Press the Power button (32) briefly. The Power LED (19) lights up green. The transmitter is ready to operate.
2. Toswitchthetransmitteroff, pressthePowerbutton(32) for approx. 2 seconds.

ECOmodus

The transmitter is equipped with an ECO mode which can be very useful when operating using batteries. It reduces the transmission power, thereby increasing the service life of the batteries. Activate ECO mode by setting the ECO modes switch (31) to "LO".

Attention: The operating range of the transmitter and receiver is reduced when ECO mode is active. This can lead to interference in the transmission. In such cases, select anew location for the devices or deactivate ECO mode.

Changingtheloudspeakervolume

You can adjust the volume of the transmitter to one of three settings using the volume control (28).
