Instructions for safe removal of the batteries or accumulators.

Remove the back cover of the device which you intend to remove the battery from. Lift the battery carefully without pulling on the wires. Grasp the wire between the battery and the white battery connector within the battery compartment. Pull gently on the wires so that these are stretched and apply pressure to the white battery connector. Make sure not to pull on the wires placed on the actual battery. The battery connector at the end of the wire should now disconnect from the PCB card within the battery compartment.

The following batteries or accumulators are contained in this electrical device.

Battery type:

Lithium Ion Polymer rechargeable battery

Chemical system:

Lithium Cobalt Dioxide and Graphite

Pairing (connecting) units

NOTE: PU and BU are already paired and ready to use out of the box. Nevertheless, we recommend you to pair the units again to ensure a private connection. If you want to connect another baby unit (or extra baby unit) to the parent unit you need pair units again.

Parent unit: Press and hold the "BU#" button and set the ON/OFF switch to ON position. Do not release the "BU#" button before PAIR is showing in display.

2 Baby unit: Press and hold the "TIMER" button and set the ON/OFF switch to ON position. Do not release the "BU#" button before PAIR is showing in display.

3 Baby unit: Use the + / - buttons to select the baby unit's number 1, 2 or 3). Press the "M" button to confirm your choice. The number you have selected will stop flashing.
4 Baby unit: Press "M" again to confirm the pairing between PU and BU. Two beep sounds will confirm that the units are paired.

Repeat step 2, 3 and 4 if you wish to pair more baby units to the same parent unit.
Both units: Turn the units off and on by setting the ON/OFF switch to OFF, and then back to ON again. The units are now ready to use.

NOTE: If you wish to pair more than one baby unit to the parent unit, you will have pair all the baby units before you proceed with step 5. It is not possible to add/connect more baby units later without pairing them all again.

Turn on and adjusting the temperature alarm

The parent unit must be turned on.

Parent unit: Press and hold the "M" button for 2 seconds. SLEEP TIMER will appear steady and ON or OFF will be flashing in display.
2 Parent unit: Press the "M" button three times. The display changes from SLEEP TIMER to TEMP ALARM HIGH.

How to avoid OUT-OF-RANGE alarm when changing from using one or more baby units with a single parent unit

When the parent unit is connected (paired) with more than one baby unit, the parent unit will constantly search for signals from all baby units it is connected with. That means if you pair two baby units to your parent unit but decide to use just one of one them (by turning one BU off) the parent unit will activate the OUT-OF-RANGE alarm indicating that it has lost contact with one baby unit. You can avoid this RANGE alarm in three different ways where we recommend the method described in Section A.:

A When OUT-OF-RANGE is displayed in parent unit (and the baby unit you do not want to use is turned off) you can see a number in the upper right corner indicating which baby unit it has lost contact with.

Parent unit: Press the button once and the display now shows USE + / - BUTTON

(Pressing the M button again will return to display OUT-OF-RANGE)

2 Parent unit: Press + button and the display shows ALARM OFF?

3 Parent unit: Press the M button and display shows ALARM IS OFF

This method is recommended because OUT-OF-RANGE alarm is activated as soon as you decide to turn on the baby unit again.

B Pair only the devices you want to use again. This method is more comprehensive because it requires that you have access to both baby and parent unit and force you to pair each time you change the number of baby units you want to use.

C Enable Zero Radiation Function in the unit that you do not want to use anymore. This will turn off OUT-OF-RANGE alarm permanently and is therefore not recommended because you will not get notice later if the parent unit loses contact with the baby unit. This method requires that the baby unit is turned on at the same time with the parent unit. The method is described further in section on "Turning off / on the Zero-Radiation Function (ZRF)."

Changing between baby units in standby mode

The baby units and the parent unit must be turned on and connected.

1 Parent unit: Press the "BU#" button to select from which baby unit you would like to see information about temperature and battery status.

Changing between baby units in transmit/sending mode

When sound is transmitted from baby unit to parent unit, a LED diode above the LCD display on the parent unit will be lit constantly. There are three LED diodes with different colours (blue, green and red). The colour of the LED diode indicates which baby unit that is currently transmitting sound. If more than one baby unit is transmitting sound at the same time, one of the LED diodes will be lit constantly, while one or two (depending on whether there are one or two other baby units currently transmitting sound) LED diodes will be flashing. A LED diode which is flashing indicates that the baby unit is transmitting sound, but cannot be heard in the parent unit's speaker. A LED diode lit constantly indicates the baby unit is transmitting sound and can be heard in the parent unit's speaker. If all baby units transmits simultaneously, the sound from baby unit no 1 has priority over baby unit no 2, which again has priority over baby unit no 3. (BU 1 = blue, BU 2 = green, BU 3 = red).

When more than one baby unit transmits sound;

Parent unit: Press the "BU#" button to select which baby unit you want to hear through PU's speaker. The LED diodes will update their status (flashing / constant light) when you choose between baby units in transmit mode.

Turning off/on the Zero-Radiation-Function (ZRF)

Activating the Zero Radiation Function makes the baby units stop transmitting signals to the parent unit in standby mode. Radiation = Zero. In standby mode (when the microphone in baby unit is not detecting sound), you will not see temperature or battery status from the baby unit that has activated ZRF. Although, this information will be displayed when the baby is making sound because the information then will be transmitted together with sound signal.

NOTE: When the ZRF is activated, the out-of-range alarm will be deactivated. For this reason, only use the ZRF when you know that the units are within range.

The baby and the parent unit must be turned on and connected to each other.

1 Parent unit: Press and hold the "M" key for 2 seconds. SLEEP TIMER will appear steady and ON or OFF will be flashing in display.
2 Parent unit: Press the "M" button two times. The display changes from SLEEP TIMER to ZRF.
Parent unit: Use the + / - " buttons to turn the Zero Radiation Function on or off. If you activate ZRF, the ZRF icon will appear in both baby and parent unit display.
4 Parent unit: Press the "M" button to confirm your choice.

Repeat step 3 and 4 if there are more than one baby unit connected to parent unit.

5 Parent unit: Press the "M" button three more times to return to standby mode.

Alarms /Warnings

OUT-OF-RANGE alarm/alert is activated after 30 seconds when:

baby- and parent unit is beyond communication range
baby unit is turned off
3 baby unit's power is suddenly cut off (battery completely empty).

An alarm will be heard, LCD-display will show OUT OF RANGE and LCD-light will flash.

TEMPERATURE alarm/alert is activated if

the actual temperature exceeds the selected temperature high limit.
the actual temperature goes below the selected low temperature limit.

An alarm will be heard, LCD-display will show TEMP ALARM and actual temperature will flash together with HIGH or LOW.

LOW BATTERY alarm/alert is activated if

the baby unit's battery power level falls below a certain limit.
he parent unit's battery power level falls below a certain limit.

An alarm will be heard and the battery status indicator (of either baby or parent unit) will flash and LCD-display will show BATTERY POWER LOW.

SMOKE alarm/alert is only working if the smoke detector accessory is purchased. If smoke is detected an alarm will be heard and LCD-display will show SMOKE.

B Par kun de enheder, du onsker at benyte pa ny. Denne metode er mere omfattende, fordi den kraver, at du har adgang til bade baby- og forelderenhed, og fordi du skal oprette parring, hver gang du andrer pa antallet af babyenheder, der skal benyttes. Metoden er beskvet yderligere under punktet "Parring (sammenkobling) af enheder".
