1 Introducing your new BABYFON ⑧ BM 850

With your new BABYTON® RM 850 you have chosen a quality product from VIVANCO. You can rely on the support provided by your new Babyfion and always hear your baby, no matter where you are in your home.

N.B.: As the BABYFON ⑥ BM 850 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 "5.2 Setting the channel and the personal security code".

The BABYFON © BM 850 provides the following functions:

ESR - Electro-Smag Reduction

Thanks to a new technology the electro-smog occurring near your baby is reduced considerably. This function is activated automatically as soon as the Babyfon is switched on, no further adjustments are required.

Variable transmission output

If the transmitter and receiver are close together child's room and living room, you can reduce the transmission output. This considerably reduces any possible electro-smog (during transmission) even further. You protect your child from unnecessary electro-smog without impairing the functionality of the device at the same time.

863-865 MHz/4 channels

The BABYTON® BM 850 operates in the frequency range from 863 to 865 MHz. This eliminates interference from conventional baby-monitoring devices and with four different channels you can avoid any other unwanted influences.

Personal security coding

To ensure optimal protection from external FM applications your Babyton provides personal and individual coding. A personal code is created by entering a name or sequence of letters. This is transmitted simultaneously with the voice transmission. Only if this personal code corresponds to that of the receiver is the transmission accepted by the receiver and you hear only your own child.

Variable response sensitivity

To ensure optimal adaptation to your living conditions and ambient noise you can use the following steps:

determine when the BABYRUN ⑥ BM BSO switches turn on and transmits Acoustic range control

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

Keylock function

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

Battery pack charge function

The BABYTON 品 BM 850 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. On the transmitter this is indicated only by a flashing symbol in order not to disturb your child.

Belt clip / wall mounting

The BABYFON® BM 850 is fitted with a practical belt clip. Using a screw or hook you can also use the belt clip as a practical wall mounting.

3 Security precautions

3.1 General

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 BABYTON @ BM 850 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 BABYFD (BM 850) 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 BABYON. ⑤ BM 850 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 babyfion 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 念 BV80. The functionality of the BABYFON 念 BM 850 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 80 BM 850 transmits only when 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 scot.

Your Babylon is equipped with intelligent charging technology.

The plug-in charger becomes active only when the battery packs have been discharged below a certain lower limit. It then charges the battery packs up to a certain upper limit and becomes inactive again, the battery packs are now used as the power source. This means that you have optimal protection from additional electro-smog, even when the battery packs are being charged.

This ensures that there will be no risk of electro-smog from the BABYFON 們 BM 850 for your child.

图

N.B.: In all operating modes the transmitter and receiver can only communicate if

these two settings are identical on both devices. To change these settings, please read Chapter "5.2 Setting the channel and the personal security code".

4.3 Function test

Ideally, the function test should be conducted by two people:
1. Press the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 for approx. 2 seconds, thereby switching on both devices. If there is a loud whistling noise the two devices are standing too close together.

1. Take one of the devices into another room.

speak into the microphone A5 on the transmitter.

The transmission / reception symbol C7 indicates that transmission is taking place. The transmission / reception symbol C7 also appears on the receiver and the spoken text is transmitted. If the receiver cannot hear anything, check the individual points in Chapter "B Troubleshooting".

5 Adjusting the devices for operation

Note: Before adjusting the devices to suit your requirements it is often advisable to perform a reset. This resets all settings to the default setting, ensuring that you have a safe basis to begin making your setting adjustments. Now devices already have the default settings.

5.1 Reset function

1. Switch off the device by pressing the mode button (MOOE) A4 / B4 for approx. 2 seconds.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter D and remove all the battery packs
3. Press the "UP" and "OK" buttons simultaneously and reconnect the AC adapter D. Continue to hold the buttons down.
4. All the display components appear successively. As soon as the alarm symbol C2 has appeared completely transparent, 5 seconds you can release the buttons.
5. After the display has appeared in full (approx. 15 seconds), press the "DOWN" selection button and the word "BABYTON" appears on the display.
6. Press the OK button. All memories are now erased and reset to the default setting.

5.2 Setting the channel and the personal security code

N.B.: The transmitter and receiver can only communicate if the channel and security code are identical on both devices.

By combining 4 channels with a personal security code you have numerous possibilities to prevent interference.

Setting the channel

You have a choice of 4 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.

1. Switch on the devices. To do so, press the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 for approx. 2 seconds.
   The display C lights up briefly and the symbols appear
   2 Press the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 once. The channel indicator C3*CH begins to flash.
2. Set the required channel [0 - 4] using the selection buttons (DOWN,UP) A3 / B3.
3. Confirm the setting by pressing the confirmation button [OK] A2/7 B2. At the same time you exit the setting mode and skip to the setting of the personal security code.

Setting the personal security code

You have the option of giving your BABYFON 60 BM 850 a personal security code in the form of a name of your choice. 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 security code in order to prevent this, making sure that you select the same code for both devices.

3. Exit the setting by pressing the mode button (MODE) A4 / B4.

N.B.: Repeat the setting on the other device so that both devices have the same channel and security code settings.

5.3 Setting the response sensitivity Only on transmitter A

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) A3 to adjust the response sensitivity. In the dis play the "Response sensitivity / volume" indicator C6 shows how sensitively the transmitter responds.

The transmission / reception indicator C7 lights up on the transmitter when it is activated and begins transmitting.

5.4 Setting the transmission output Only on transmitter A

If you are close to the child's room with your receiver (example: living room and child's room) you can reduce the transmission output on the transmitter. This considerably reduces any possible electro-smog (during transmission) even further. You protect your child from unnecessary electro-smog without impairing the functionality of the device as the same time. 1. Press the mode button until the transmission range indicator C1 starts flashing

1. Press the selection buttons (DOWN/UP) A3 to change to half or full transmission

output.

1. Confirm the selection with the confirmation button IDK) A2.

1. To switch on the keylock, press the confirmation button [OK] A2 / B2 for at least 2 seconds until "KEYLOCK" appears in the display.

KEYUNLOCK

1. To switch off the keylock, press the confirmation button [OK] A2 / B2 for at least 2 seconds until "KEYDOWN" appears in the display.

With the keylock activated, "KEYLOCK" appears in the display if a key is pressed.

6 Power supply

6.1 Battery pack status indicator

The battery pack status indicator C5 indicates how full the battery packs are or, if

batteries are used, how full these are:

Battery packs/batteries full 13 bars

The batteries or battery packs are full or nearly full, allowing operation for several hours. Battery packs/batteries 2/3 full (2 bars)

The batteries are partially emptied.

Battery packs/batteries 1/3 full (1 car)

The batteries are almost empty. Now is the time to replace the batteries or recharge the battery packs.

Battery packs/batteries empty

When the batteries or battery packs are empty the lost status bar disappears and the battery pack status indicator C5 begins to flash. The device also emits a warning tone. Proper operation is no longer possible and the device switches itself off automatically after a few seconds.

6.2 Charging the battery packs

The BABYFON 品 BM 850 comes with automatic charging control. To use this feature, the devices must be connected to the AC adapter D. If the battery pack condition fails to an insufficient level the BABYFON 品 BM 850 automatically begins charging the battery packs. When the battery packs have been charged the BABYFON 品 BM 850 automatically switches off battery charging.

Note: Thanks to this automatic charging control the battery packs are protected against

both unnecessary overcharging and total discharge, thereby increasing their service life.

1. Insert the small plug on the cable of the AC adaptor D into the connection socket for the plug-in charger A6 / E6 of the device concerned.

2. Plug the AC adapter D into a main socket with voltage that corresponds to that given on the charger's nameplate. The control lamp for the plug-in charger A7 / B7 lights up.

If the battery packs are empty, charging now begins and the battery pack status indicator CS indicates that charging is taking place.

1. When the battery packs are fully charged the battery pack status indicator C5 shows full (13 hours) and the BARYCOM 60 RM 950 automatically stops charging.

When charging the battery packs, please observe the following:

N.B.: New battery packs must be charged for at least 10 hours without interruption

before use to ensure that they reach their full capacity.

• The battery pack charging time varies according to the type of battery pack used. The battery packs supplied need approx. 6-8 hours before they are fully charged.
  Using the battery packs included with the set operation of up to two days is possible. This may vary depending on the mode of operation.

6.3 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 4 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 850 in your surroundings by trial and error. In optimal conditions, the range is up to 400 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

"rango guarantee". However, you should be able to move around freely with your BABYFON @ BM 850 within the house/apartment. You can easily determine the range in your surroundings by placing a radio in front of the BABYFON @ BM 850 transmitter. When you can hear the transmission clearly, move around with the receiver in the area where you have perfect functionality.

8 Troubleshooting

8.1 Reset function

You can reset the BABYFON @ BM 850 to the default setting if you have lost track of the settings or if the device locks up, i.e. it no longer reacts to keys being pressed. This allows subsequent function control (see '4 Setting 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 mode button (MODE) A4 / B4 for approx. 2 seconds.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter D and remove all the battery packs.
3. Press the 'UP' and 'OK' buttons simultaneously and reconnect the AC adaptor D. Continue to hold the buttons down.
4. All the display components appear successively. As soon as the alarm symbol C2 has appeared completely (approx. 6 seconds) you can release the buttons.
5. After the display has appeared in full (approx. 15 seconds), press the "DOWN" selection button and the word "BABYTON" appears on the display.
6. Press the OK button. All memories are now erased and reset to the default setting
