7. When the out-of-range alert function is set to On in both transmitter and receiver, once the receiver is

beyond the communication range of the transmitter for over 2 minutes, an out-of-range alarm will be heard. The LED level meter starts flashing together with the out-of-range icon to alert the parents. Besides, the temperature reading will show - -°C . The alarm and icon will go off only when the receiver falls back within the communication range of transmitter. N.B. This alarm will also be heard in case the transmitter is switched off, or its battery has run down, or its power is cut off, or the channel/digital code setting is different between the transmitter and receiver, or the out-of-range alert setting is different between transmitter and receiver.

8. Whenever the baby’s room temperature falls outside the range as preset by the upper and lower

temperature limits, an alarm will be heard. Depending on whether the upper or lower limit is exceeded, the correspondingly icon and the current temperature reading start flashing in the LCD.

9. The condition of the rechargeable battery pack is shown by the battery status indicator . When the

battery power is being consumed, the segments within the battery status indicator gradually falls. Once the indicator becomes empty, its starts flashing and an alarm will be heard, reminding the parents to charge up the battery using the rapid charger. When the receiver is switched on and placed in the rapid charger, the segments within the battery status indicator will flash in turn while battery is being charged. Once charging is completed, the flashing will stop and all three segments show steady up indicating the battery is full.

10. When only one segment is left within its battery status indicator, the transmitter will send out a signal

to the receiver. The transmitter low battery icon will start flashing in the receiver’s LCD and a beep tone alarm will be heard. Once the transmitter battery status indicator becomes totally empty, two beep tones will be heard, urging the parent to replace with new battery for the transmitter.

11. Each time a button is pressed, a beep tone will be heard to validate your entry being recognized by

12. The loudness of the alarm and beep tone is fixed and independent from adjustment of the

speaker volume. Both the receiver and transmitter can be carried around using the belt clip. To remove the clip, follow diagram as shown. BBPhone Expert II-Notice 5/12/06 11:41 Page 19TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Problem Possible Causes Solution
