• POWER SAVING MODE To conserve battery life, your monitor has a power saving feature that will automatically make the video screen go blank and transmit sounds only if no buttons have been pressed on the Parent Unit for 5 minutes (you can change this interval to 60 or 30 seconds if you prefer). To reactivate the screen at any time, press the Quick View Key on top of the Parent Unit. To disable Power Saving mode and ensure constant video monitoring, connect the Parent Unit to the mains or a PC.

• SOUND ACTIVATED MONITORING For those quiet moments or when your baby is a little older, you may not want to hear every sound in your baby’s room. Your Baby Monitor has a Sound Activated Monitoring mode, a feature that only captures sounds above a pre-set threshold, for example a cry rather than a gurgle. When Sound Activated Monitoring is selected from the Main Menu, the Parent Unit (and its video display) will go into sleep mode 10 seconds after your baby settles. Every time your baby’s sounds rise above the threshold, this feature will be interrupted instantly and normal sound and video monitoring will continue until your baby settles again. The Sound Activated Monitoring Icon will show on the Parent Unit’s LCD Display.

• TIMER Use the Timer on the Parent Unit’s LCD Display to keep track of the interval between feeds, doses of medication, how long your child has been asleep and so on. Select the Timer from the Main Menu and then select the Start and Stop icons when ready, using the Navigation Keys and the Mode/Enter Key. For the rst minute, the Timer will count in seconds. After that, it will count in minutes. To check the Timer when Sound Activated Monitoring is on or when in Power Saving Mode, simply press the Quick View Key.

• SOUND LEVEL LIGHTS DISPLAY The Sound Level Lights Display on your Parent Unit reacts to the sounds of your baby. The louder your baby, the more lights illuminate on the display. You can lower the volume of the Parent Unit while still watching out for baby, ideal for when you’re relaxing or entertaining.

• QUICK VIEW Press the Quick View Key on top of the Parent Unit whenever you want to reactivate the video on the LCD Display. If you are using more than one Baby Unit, you can toggle between pictures by pressing the Quick View Key repeatedly.

• USING MULTIPLE BABY UNITS WITH THE PC VIEWER Full instructions on how to connect additional Baby Units are supplied when purchasing the units from www.tomy.eu With up to 4 Baby Units connected to a single Parent Unit, you can manually toggle between video feeds on your PC screen by clicking on the matching numbered icon on the Baby Unit selector. Switching between video feeds automatically When you select Sound Activated Monitoring from the Parent Unit’s Main Menu and you have more than one Baby Unit connected, the video feed to your PC will automatically come from whichever Baby Unit detects sound above the preset threshold.

• If only one Baby Unit is detecting sound above the threshold, video pictures will continue to be transmitted from that unit until that baby settles or until another Baby Unit picks up sound above the preset threshold.

• If more than one Baby Unit detects sound above the threshold, the two video feeds (or more) will toggle at 3-second intervals between those Baby Units. For example, if Baby Units #2 and #4 pick up sound above the preset threshold, the video feed will toggle between these two cameras. Pictures from Baby Units #1 and #3 will not appear unless they in turn pick up sound above the threshold.

• If all the babies being monitored are quiet (with their sound levels below the preset threshold) for a period longer than 10 seconds, the video pictures on your PC will simply toggle between ALL connected Baby Units at regular intervals until one or more of the babies stirs and trips Sound Activated Monitoring.

• IMPORTANT! If you choose to record video while in Sound Activated Monitoring mode, the automatic switching between Baby Units described above will affect what is recorded. Losing a connection If a connection is lost with one or more Baby Units, the video feed on your PC will be replaced with the ‘Loss of Link’ icon opposite, together with a number indicating which Baby Unit is affected. See Figure 4. To avoid the Loss of Link icon appearing on your PC screen when you turn off one of the Baby Units, be sure to remove it from the Parent Unit’s Main Menu (see below) so that the other Baby Units can go on monitoring without interruption.

• SIMPLE SOLUTION GUIDE Should your monitor not be operating as expected, the information listed below should be adequate to resolve your problems.

• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Does my Parent Unit need to be switched on or off whilst charging? A. Either. Your Parent Unit will charge while switched ON or OFF. However, charging the unit when switched ON will allow you to monitor your baby while charging. Q. I have measured the temperature of my baby’s room using another device and I get a different reading than that on my monitor – why? A. The temperature measuring device within your Tomy monitor is designed to give you an indication of the baby’s room temperature to within a small tolerance of + 1°C or - 1°C. Other devices will also have a similar tolerance. Q. Can I use my monitor abroad? A. You can use your monitor in the country it was purchased and anywhere in the EU. Although your monitor may function correctly in other countries, its operating frequency may affect (or be affected by) other devices and could be illegal. Tomy cannot accept any liability for use outside of the country in which you purchased your monitor or the EU. Q. Will I hear the out-of-range and low battery alarms even when the volume on my monitor is set to zero (mute)? A. Yes, alarms are unaffected by the volume controls. Q. Can my monitor coexist with WI-FI and other 2.4GHz devices? A. Your Tomy SR Monitor operates on a 2.4GHz frequency using Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology designed to coexist with WI-FI and similar wireless digital equipment. However, if multiple 2.4GHz devices are operating in close proximity, some interference is inevitable. Should you experience reduced performance in either your monitor or wireless devices, select another channel by pressing the Mode/Enter Key for 3 seconds, repeating as necessary until you nd a vacant channel.• FAULT FINDING
