the alarm will not sound if it continues to de-
tect 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 sur-
face with the printed side facing up. The sen-
sitivity level may also need to be adjusted.
Refer to step 5.3. Always be sure to imme-
diately check on baby whenever an alarm

used in any crib that is stationary and de-
signed to safely hold a baby. If the crib has
a spring or slat base, place a hard board be-
tween the crib base and the Sensor Pad mea-
suring at least 13” x 13” (33 x 33 cm) and 1/4
inch (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.
