USER MANUAL BM 1000S BABYFON

1 Introducing your new BABYFON ® BM 1000 S With your new BABYFON ® BM 1000 S you have chosen a quality product from VIVANCO which can be used as both a Babyfon and a radio device. Strictly speaking, the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is a radio device with the additional features of a Babyfon. It therefore has a wider range of possible uses than comparable devices. This means that it also offers various applications, e.g. when the child has grown out of the "supervision age". You can rely on the support provided by your new Babyfon and always hear your baby, no matter where you are in your home. N.B.: As the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is a radio frequency device, certain settings on both devices must be absolutely identical to ensure that the transmitter and receiver can communicate with each other. Please refer in particular to chapter

5.3 "Setting the channel and subcode".

The BABYFON ® BM 1000 S provides the following functions:

446 MHz transmission frequency / 8 channels Unlike other products of this kind, the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S operates on a radiotelephony frequency. This eliminates interference from other radio devices (FM headphones, FM switches or garage door openers). In addition, 8 channels enable you to avoid other disturbances. Under optimal circumstances, a range up to 1 kilometre can be reached.

Subcode (CTCSS) The additional CTCSS coding (subcode) suppresses unwanted information or noise. 38 subcodes are available.

Acoustic range control When the acoustic range is activated a warning tone tells you that you are leaving the reception range. This warning tone stops automatically when you are back within the reception range.

Hands-free function (VOX) The BABYFON BM ® 1000 S has a hands-free function (VOX) which activates the device automatically when a voice is heard.

Variable response sensitivity To ensure optimal adaptation to your living conditions and ambient noise you can determine when the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S switches itself on and transmits. When using the additional microphone the response sensitivity can also be varied.

Keylock The keylock prevents accidental adjustments to settings and thereby further increases the functional security of the device.

Battery pack charge function The BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is equipped with an integrated battery pack charge function for the gentle charging of environment-friendly nickel-metal hydride battery packs.

Battery pack status display A symbol in the receiver display and a warning tone indicate that the battery packs need charging.23 3 Security precautions

Before using the device for the first time, read these instructions carefully and keep them in a safe place for future reference.

Under no circumstances is the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S a substitute for personal supervision.

If the device can no longer be used, consult your local waste disposal organisation regarding correct disposal measures.

If you pass on the device to a third party, please include the instructions. 3.2. Intended purpose The BABYFON ® BM 1000 S was developed to transfer voice signals / sounds made by children. Signal tones, e.g. from breathing or heart tone monitoring equipment, cannot be transmitted! Use of the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S cannot replace, but only support the personal supervision of a child or person in need of care. We point out that we do not accept any responsibility whatsoever not covered by legal guarantee regulations. This applies in particular to this Babyfon being used for medical purposes for which it is not intended. The device is designed for private use.

3.3 Electro-smog in children's rooms

Due to the low radiation level there is no risk to your child's health as a result of electro-smog, according to current knowledge.

We nevertheless recommend that you keep a safety distance of at least 1 metre between your baby and the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S. The functionality of the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is not impaired by the safety distance!

Never place the transmitter inside the child's cot or playpen. The original Babyfon is equipped with a voice control feature that allows the device to transmit only when your child actually makes a sound. Therefore the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S transmits only when required and not permanently. This sensible function prevents superfluous electro-smog. When using plug-in chargers (AC adapters) you can minimise low-frequency magnetic fields by keeping a distance of 1 to 2 metres between the wall socket and the child's cot. If you wish to minimise electro-smog further in the child's room, Babyfon recommends battery pack operation of the transmitter and receiver. This ensures that there will be no risk of electro-smog from the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S for your child.

3.4 Protecting the devices

When the devices are running they need sufficient air supply.

If you use batteries, remove them if the devices are not used for a long period as they could otherwise leak.

Switch off the devices after use.

Protect electronic devices from moisture.

The devices must under no circumstances come into contact with liquids. Therefore make sure that they are not submerged under water and that no liquid gets inside the casing.

Protect electronic devices from temperatures above 40 °C. Therefore do not leave your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S in strong sunlight and never place it on hotplates or close to other heat sources.

Defective devices must not be used.

Never carry out repairs yourself; contact your dealer if the need arises.

5.5 Transmitter (baby)

This function sets the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S as the transmitter and transmits the sounds made by your child. To set this function, see 5.2 "Setting the application". To avoid disturbing the child the speaker is deactivated in this setting.

Hands-free function (VOX) The transmitter is fitted with a hands-free function (VOX) which is activated automatically in this setting. This means that the transmitter (baby) does not begin to transmit until a certain minimum noise level is reached, e.g. when your child shouts or cries. This has several advantages:

no transmission radiation in standby mode

no constant noise level in the receiver

Setting the response sensitivity With the response sensitivity you set the volume at which the transmitter is activated and begins to transmit sound to the receiver. There are several settings available. Find the best setting by trial and error. Press the selection buttons (DOWN/UP) A7 to adjust the response sensitivity. In the display the sensitivity indicator B8 shows the current setting. On the transmitter the transmission indicator B13 lights when the device is activated and transmitting.

Using the additional microphone An additional microphone is included in the set. You can use it in the transmitter setting; it provides the following benefits as you can place the microphone closer to the baby:

higher sensitivity, therefore less background noise

improved transmission quality

response sensitivity can be more finely adjusted Connect the plug C4 of the additional microphone included to the socket A13 of the device set as the transmitter. Attach the microphone C3 by the clip C2 and the Velcro strap to the cot so that the microphone is pointing towards the baby. N.B. Make sure the microphone is attached where the baby cannot reach it.

To use as a normal radio device (PMR), activate this variant Device 1 Device 2 Transmitter/ Transmitter/ receiver receiver Function PMR radio device (walkie-talkie) To set the selected menu item on a device, proceed as follows:

display. The selected menu item is now activated. Make sure that the transmitter and the receiver have the same setting for the channel and the subcode (see Chapter 5.3 "Setting the channel and subcode"). Example of channel and subcode setting

5.3 Setting the channel and subcode

N.B.: The transmitter and receiver can only communicate if the channel and security code are identical on both devices. By combining 8 channels with 38 subcodes you have numerous possibilities to prevent interference.

Setting the channel You have a choice of 8 channels. Each channel is allocated a particular frequency in the radio frequency range. If there is too much interference on the selected channel, select another one, making sure that you select the same channel for both devices.

Setting the personal security code You have the option of using 38 different subcodes (CTCSS = Continuous Tone Code Squelch System) for each transmission channel. This enables you to protect yourself against the reception of external radio transmissions on the same channel. If you can hear external radio signals or interference on the set channel, select another subcode to prevent this. You can also switch off the subcode (00) to hear all transmissions on the set channel. Low Mid HiIf the person with the receiver wants to reply, he also presses the Talk button A2. The transmission indicator B13 on the transmitter and the reception indicator B14 on the receiver display the transmission. Only one device can transmit at a time. For the other device to reply, the Talk button A2 must be released! The basic function of the radio device is now available to you. To set it to your personal preferences you can make or change the following settings: Hands-free function (VOX) Call tone Roger signal Battery pack alarm Button tone

Hands-free function (VOX) Your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is equipped with a so-called VOX function that automatically switches the device to transmission when someone speaks into the microphone A10.

1. Switch the devices on. To do so, press the On/Off button A4 for approx. 2 seconds.

The display A5 lights up briefly and the symbols appear.

2. Press the mode button (MODE) A6 repeatedly until the hands-free function (VOX)

symbol appears and the selection flashes.

3. You can set the response sensitivity using the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons A7. The

more sensitive the setting, the quieter the sounds can be at which the transmitter automatically begins to transmit.

0 - hands-free function (VOX) is off

1 - low response sensitivity

2 - medium response sensitivity

3 - maximum response sensitivity

4. Press the confirmation button (OK) A8 to confirm your selection.

If you want to use the additional microphone C, the response sensitivity sets itself automatically to level 2 following connection of the microphone. You can set the response sensitivity using the volume control C1 on the additional microphone. With the additional microphone C connected you can only speak (transmit), but not receive the other device. To do so, disconnect the microphone from your device. The hands-free function (VOX) is not recommended if there is loud background noise such as traffic or a strong wind. It could then be permanently activated and the receiver cannot reply.

Call tone You have a choice of five different call tones:

1. Switch the devices on. To do so, press the On/Off button A4 for approx. 2 seconds.

The display A5 lights up briefly and the symbols appear.

When connected, the device automatically sets itself to the middle sensitivity level. Now adjust the sensitivity of the microphone using the volume control C1. You can find the ideal setting by trial and error.

5.6 Receiver (parents)

In this setting the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S receives the sounds transmitted by the transmitter. If the transmitter function is activated on one of the devices, the receiver function with or without range control must be activated on the other device. To set this function, see 5.2 "Setting the application".

Receiver with range control If this function has been selected (see 5.2 "Setting the application"), range control is activated in addition to the normal receiver function. Range control triggers a warning in the receiver if the transmitter and the receiver are too far apart or if there is interference. This gives you the assurance that proper transmission is possible. If the permissible range is exceeded the range alarm B3 and the background lighting flash in the display and a warning tone can be heard.

Setting the volume You can set the receiver volume at one of several levels. Find the best level by trial and error. Press the selection buttons (DOWN/UP) A7 to set the volume. The indicator B8 shows you which volume level you have set.

Channel and subcode scan You have the possibility to scan for a channel or a subcode on which transmission is to take place. This function stops automatically when it registers reception. If you know the channel but not the subcode to which you have set the transmitter, you can start a subcode scan. Press the "UP" button A7 for approx. 3 seconds, then the subcode scan starts. It stops automatically at the subcode at which a transmission takes place. If there is no transmission it continues to scan until it finds one. You can interrupt this function by pressing the confirmation button (OK) A8. If you know the subcode but not the channel to which you have set the transmitter, you can start a channel scan. Press the "DOWN" button A7 for approx. 3 seconds, then the channel scan starts. It stops automatically at the channel at which a transmission takes place. If there is no transmission it continues to scan until it finds one. You can interrupt this function by pressing the confirmation button (OK) A8.

5.7 Radio device (PMR)

Your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S is not only a Babyfon, as it offers more application possibilities than other baby monitoring devices. When the baby has outgrown the "supervision age", the device can be used for a variety of other applications. Used as a radio device or walkie-talkie, voice transmission and reception can take place alternately in both directions. Both devices must be set to the radio device (PMR) function (see 5.2 "Setting the application"). Make sure that the transmitter and the receiver have the same setting for the channel and the subcode (see Chapter 5.3 "Setting the channel and subcode").

Transmitting and receiving In its function as a radio device (PMR) you can both speak and hear with the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S. To transmit, press the Talk button A2 and speak into the device. The transmission indicator B13 appears in the display. While you are holding the button down, the receiver hears your voice and the reception indicator B14 appears. You then release the button and end the transmission.

Min Max31 Press the "UP" button A7 for approx. 3 seconds, then the subcode scan starts. It stops automatically at the subcode at which a transmission takes place. If there is no t ransmission it continues to scan until it finds one. You can interrupt this function by pressing the confirmation button (OK) A8. If you know the subcode but not the channel to which you have set the transmitter, you can start a channel scan. Press the "DOWN" button A7 for approx. 3 seconds, then the channel scan starts.

6.3 Operation with the plug-in charger

N.B. When using batteries the plug-in charger must not be connected under any circumstances as this could cause the batteries to overheat and thereby damage the device. Please note: The radio frequencies used with your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S are legally permissible only if the device is used on a mobile basis. As the law states that the device is no longer considered to be mobile when it is connected to the plug-in charger during operation, this is not permitted. Continuous operation with the plug-in charger would be technically possible, but the battery packs could be damaged by permanent charging.

6.4 Battery operation

N.B.: When using batteries the plug-in charger must not be connected under any circumstances as this could cause the batteries to overheat and thereby damage the device. Instead of the batteries supplied you can also use AAA type batteries. Advantages:

longer operating time than with battery packs;

greater range as batteries emit higher voltage than battery packs. Disadvantages:

higher operating costs as they are not rechargeable;

unkind to the environment as they are not reusable. 7 Range of the devices In view of the physical diffusion characteristics of radio waves, you will have to determine the range of your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S in your surroundings by trial and error. In optimal conditions, the range is up to 1,000 metres. However, the actual range depends very much on local conditions, e.g. location of the transmitter, type of building or atmospheric conditions. The range may also be reduced if you enclose the receiver in your hands. The spreading of radio waves can be physically influenced only to a slight degree, with the result that there are places in the house or garden where radio contact does not take place although the transmitter and the receiver are only a few metres apart (in a straight line). Due to the numerous factors influencing FM products it is not possible to give a "range guarantee". However, you should be able to move around freely with your BABYFON ® BM 1000 S within the house/apartment. You can easily determine the range in your surroundings by placing a radio in front of the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S transmitter. When you can hear the transmission clearly, move around with the receiver in the area where you have perfect functionality. 8 Troubleshooting

You can reset the BABYFON ® BM 1000 S to the default setting if you have lost track of the settings. This allows subsequent function control (see chapter 4 "Setting up components / function test" on page 5) and rules out malfunction. The following function steps are the same for both devices and must be performed for both devices:

1. Switch off the device by pressing the On/Off button A4 for approx. 2 seconds.
