11.6 Cleaning - Disconnect all units before cleaning. DO NOT immerse in water any part of the Nursery Unit, Clean only with dry cloth.
11.7 Ventilation - DO NOT block any ventilation openings. Allow for proper ventilation when unit is in use. DO NOT cover the Nursery Unit with any object such as a blanket. DO NOT place it in a drawer or in any location which would muffle the sound or interfere with the normal flow of air.
11.8 Heat sources - DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, TVs or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Heat can damage the case or electrical parts.
11.9 Power cord protection - Protect the Sensor Pad cord from being walked on or pinched by furniture or other items - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacle, and the point where they exit from the product.
11.10 Accessories - Only use attachments/ accessories specified by the manufacturer. DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to

the product. Use ONLY with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions.

11.11 Servicing - DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers (except battery doors) may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.

11.16 Vibration Source - When the monitor is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or other crib accessories that may produce vibrations. Other sources of vibrations may include fans, washing machines, loud

music, etc. These sources of vibration may interfere with the performance of your Angelcare monitor and the alarm will not sound if it continues to detect any movement other than your baby's. Be sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor.

You may experience false alarms for several reasons. The most common reason is the Nursery Unit has not been turned OFF after you have removed your baby from the crib. Another reason is the Sensor Pad has not been placed under the mattress properly.

Be sure the Sensor Pad is on a flat, firm surface with the printed side facing up. The sensitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Refer to Step 3.1. Always be sure to immediately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds.

11.17 Sensor Pad - If the crib has a spring or slat base, place a hard board between the crib base and the Sensor Pad measuring at least 33 × 33 cm and 6 ~mm thick. Only use your Angelcare monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a crib where the Sensor Pad can rest on a completely flat, firm surface.

The sensor pad is made of plastic and does not permit the air to circulate. Therefore, mildew build up could develop underneath the mattress in the sensor pad area. We suggest rotating the mattress regularly to prevent any mildew.

12. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO USE OF BATTERIES

12.1 Use ONLY the type and size of batteries specified in the owner's manual. There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced with an incorrect type.
12.2 DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in the Nursery Unit. Use alkaline batteries ONLY.
12.3 DO NOT dispose batteries in fire. They

may explode. Check with local regulations for possible special disposal instructions.

12.4 Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short out the batteries with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation, or incineration of batteries must be avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature.
12.5 DO NOT attempt to rejuvenate the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of battery electrolyte may occur, causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
12.6 If and when necessary, the batteries must be replaced with identical new ones or equivalent (volts and size). If a battery to be replaced is connected with other batteries in series, replace the other batteries at the same time as well. DO NOT mix old and new batteries.
12.7 Reverse polarity installation of the batteries in the end product must be avoided. Reverse insertion of batteries can cause charging, and that may result in leakage or explosion.
12.8 Remove batteries from this product if you store the product over 30 days because the batteries could leak and damage the product.
12.9 Discard 'dead' batteries as soon as possible since 'dead' batteries are more likely to leak in a product. If a battery has leaked or vented, it should be replaced immediately using protective gloves.
12.10 DO NOT store this product, or the batteries provided with or identified for use with this product, in high-temperature areas.
