5 EASY STEPS TO OPERATE YOUR ANGELCARE MONITOR
STEP 1. SENSOR PAD
Position Sensor Pad as illustrated (Figures 1 and 2). Connect the long Sensor Pad cord to the Nursery Unit (Figure 4). The printed side
of Sensor Pad MUST face up. DO NOT tuck thick bedding under the edges of the mattress.
The Sensor Pad must rest on a COMPLETELY FLAT AND RIGID SURFACE. Place a piece of 6 mm (1/4”) plywood to cover the full
size of the crib base. Make sure the sensor pad’s cord passes underneath the mattress as shown in figure 1.
STEP 2. NURSERY UNIT (TRANSMITTER)
• Insert 4 AAA batteries into Nursery Unit (for battery backup in case of power failure).
• Connect Sensor Pad to Nursery Unit (Figures 4 and 6).
• On the back of the Nursery Unit, select 1 of the 4 functions of how you want to monitor your baby from the Parents Unit:
Movement: To use the movement only function. This does not transmit any sound to the parent unit.
Sound/Movement/Tic: To hear sounds, see sound lights and hear a “Tic” sound with every movement baby makes.
Sound/Movement: To hear sounds, see sound lights function BUT without the “Tic” sound.
Sound: To hear sounds and see sound lights on Parents Unit.
• Connect AC adapter to Nursery Unit and plug adapter into an electrical outlet.
NOTE: The sensitivity adjustment has been preset. DO NOT ADJUST UNLESS NECESSARY. If poor capture of movement (red flashing
light) or false alarm occurs, consult the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
STEP 3. PARENTS UNIT (RECEIVER)
Model AC301: Insert 3 AAA batteries into Parents Unit. Connect AC adapter to Parents Unit and plug adapter to an electrical outlet.
Model AC301-R: The pre-installed NiMh rechargeable batteries need to be charged for 15 hours continuously before first-time
use. To charge, connect the AC adapter to the Parents Unit. Plug AC adapter to an electrical outlet (Figure 3). The batteries will charge
as long as it is connected to a powered AC adapter. The position of the switches will not effect charging.
For longest battery life, recharge the Parents Unit when the orange Low Battery light flashes. Batteries need to be charged
for 12 hours continuously.
NOTE: Only the Parents Unit is rechargeable in Model AC301-R.
• Adjust the volume control to the desired level.
STEP 4. TO USE MONITOR
Place baby in crib and switch both units ON by selecting either channel A, B or C. If reception is not clear, switch to another channel.
Make sure both units are on the same channel. When removing baby from crib, switch Nursery Unit to the OFF position. If you forget
to switch OFF, a “pre-alarm Tic” will sound after 15 seconds as a reminder followed by an alarm 5 seconds later. To avoid feedback
(whistling sound), keep both units at least 3 meters apart (10 feet).
Note: When both units are turned ON, a “--“symbol will appear on the nursery unit temperature display screen. It will stay ON for 20
seconds. During this time the nursery unit is sending the settings to the parents unit. Once the room temperature is displayed on the
nursery unit, the monitor is ready to be used.
STEP 5. BATTERY MODE
• When unplugging AC adapter from each unit, make sure unit is switched OFF. Otherwise, unit will revert to battery mode.
• The monitor will revert to battery mode during a power failure only if batteries are inserted in both units. Insert batteries into Nursery
Unit and Parents Unit for Model AC301. When orange Low Battery indicator flashes, change batteries promptly (or recharge Parents
Unit for Model AC301-R).
Note:
• Test your Angelcare® Monitor BEFORE first-time use and then on a periodic basis.
• When monitor is in use, DO NOT use crib mobile or other crib accessories that produce vibrations. Alarm will not sound as monitor is
still detecting movement.
• The Angelcare® Monitor is perfectly safe. The Sensor Pad and its cord is entirely passive. They carry no electrical current and do not
radiate any form of energy. The Nursery Unit emits only very low power radio signals through its antenna. These signals do not present
a safety hazard.
• Your monitor can be used in any crib or sleeping area (that has no motion or vibration) designed to safely hold a baby.
• To monitor twins, you need two AC301 Movement & Sound Monitors or one AC301 Movement & Sound Monitor and one AC300 Movement only
monitor. You should have one nursery unit on Movement function and the other nursery unit on Sound/Movement/Tic or Sound/Movement. You
can use only one parent unit on the same channel. The sound monitor of one AC301 is sufficient to monitor both babies in the same room. Do
not use the Angelcare® to monitor movement of two babies in one crib or bassinet.

Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is no
sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Make sure that both units are
on the same channel, either on A, B or C. If reception is not clear,
switch to other channel.
Step 2. Test monitor to detect movement. Switch Nursery Unit to the
“Movement” function. Gently move your hand on the mattress. The
green light will continue to flash with your every movement. Remove
hand from mattress. Due to no movement, a “pre-alarm Tic” sound will
emit after 15 seconds. 5 seconds later, the alarm will sound and the red
light will flash continuously.
NOTE: If alarm does not sound, the Sensor Pad may be detecting a continuous
vibration from the floor, a strong draft or the crib is being touched. Avoid
contact with crib when monitor is in use. Place crib near a solid supporting
wall and away from strong air currents. The sensitivity of the Sensor Pad may
need to be reduced, consult the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 3. To stop alarm, place your hand lightly on mattress for Sensor
Pad to redetect movement. The red Alarm indicator light on the Nursery
Unit will continue to flash 1 minute (Figure 3).
Step 4. Verify that the battery mode is functional by operating both units
without the AC adapters. The green Power light should appear on both units.
Parents Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears, replace
batteries promptly for Model AC301. For Model AC301-R, recharge
Parents Unit for 12 hours.
Nursery Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears a rapid
“clicking” is heard, the temperature indicator turns off and a beep will
sound every 30 seconds, replace batteries promptly. If not, the light will
eventually turn red and the monitor will stop working.
• This product is NOT a medical device nor a device to prevent cases of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
• This product is NOT a substitute for direct supervision of your baby.
Check your baby’s activities at regular intervals. Monitoring of
premature babies, or those considered to be at risk, should be carried
out only under the supervision of a doctor or health professional.
• Please make sure you DON'T put the Parent Unit near wireless devices
and microwave ovens. This may disrupt the transmission of the alarm
signal
• The Sensor Pad may detect movement from many sources from both
inside and outside your baby’s room, for example: fans, washing
machines, loud music, etc. Ensure that all vibration sources are
eliminated before using the Angelcare® Monitor. Avoid contact
with crib when monitor is in use. Refer to the Movement
Sensitivity Adjustment and Troubleshooting section.
• ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright position, away
from baby’s reach.
• DO NOT touch the end of the adapter cord when plugged into an
electrical outlet.
• The Angelcare® Monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals. The
Parents Unit may pick up signals or interference from other nursery
monitors in your area. Your monitor may even be picked up by other
households. To protect your privacy, make sure both units are in the
OFF position when not in use.
• This product should be serviced by qualified personnel. There are no
user serviceable parts inside monitor. Refer all service questions to
your distributor (see page 14).
Instructions
Operating Tips
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment
The Sensitivity Adjustment Dial has been preset to suit
most situations. However in certain circumstances,
the sensitivity may not be ideal. DO NOT increase sensitivity unless false
alarms occurs and you have followed the advice in the Troubleshooting
section for false alarms. Make a note of the pre-set position of the dial
should you wish to return to it.
The Alarm Indicator Light on the Nursery Unit will flash red and beep
once when monitor barely detects movement. This could be a result of:
baby being in a very deep sleep or baby having moved away from
Sensor Pad to edge of crib. If alarm does NOT sound, no adjustment of
sensitivity is required. If the alarm indicator light flashes red most of the
time with baby directly over the location of either Sensor Pad, a false
alarm may occur. If this happens, adjust the sensitivity.
To adjust sensitivity, increase dial to the next setting. Retest monitor.
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS: Keep user’s manual for future reference.
WATER, MOISTURE AND HEAT DAMAGE: Keep all components away
from water (sink, bath tub, swimming pool) and places that emit heat
(stove, radiator).
VENTILATION: ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright
position so that air can flow freely around them.
AC POWER SOURCE: Use only the AC adapters supplied with the
Angelcare® Monitor.
CORD PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the cords of the Sensor Pad and
adapters. Route cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them.
CLEANING: Disconnect all units before cleaning. DO NOT immerse in
water. Use a dry cloth to keep monitor free from dust. DO NOT spray with
cleaning products or solvents. Wipe Sensor Pad with a very slightly
damp cloth with an antiseptic or mild detergent.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or
Sensor Pad through its openings.
NON-USE PERIODS: When not using monitor for long periods, remove
the batteries from both units and disconnect the AC adapters from
electrical outlet.
Channel selection for sound reception
Make sure that both units are on the same channel, either on A, B or
C. If reception is not clear, switch to another channel. If interference
persists, consult the Troubleshooting section.
Green Sound Lights
The three Sound Lights allow you to see baby’s sounds. The louder the
sounds from baby, the more lights appear.
Temperature display
The Nursery Unit is equipped with room temperature display. The
temperature is displayed in Celsius (C).
