Setting Up Your Monitor SENSOR PAD (See figs. 1 and 2) Place the Sensor Pad under the center of the crib mattress with the colored side facing up. Do not place any loose bedding or linen between the crib mattress and the Sensor Pad. The Sensor Pad must rest on a flat, firm surface. If your crib has a spring or slat base, place a piece of Masonite board under the Sensor Pad. This support must measure at least 13 inches long on all four sides and 1/4 inch thick. If your crib has a plywood base, your mattress support is firm enough to use the monitor properly. Only use your Angelcare® monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a crib where the Sensor Pad can rest on a flat, firm surface. Be sure to place the colored side of the Sensor Pad facing up. Now plug the Sensor Pad cord into the jack on the back of the Nursery Unit marked “Sensor Pad”. Turn the Nursery Unit on using the switch on the left. The green Power Indicator will light up. NOTE : The Sensor Pad works with all baby bed sizes and all mattresses, except memory foam mattresses or mattresses with a hollow frame. You will need to test your Sensor Pad after the set-up is completed. CAUTION: To avoid potential strangulation accidents resulting from loose cords or wires in the crib, make sure the Sensor Pad cord passes underneath the mattress entirely. After positioning the Sensor Pad under the mattress, bring the cord to the corner of the crib and secure it to the top and bottom of the leg of the crib, or wind it around the leg (see fig. 1). Figure 1 PLACEMENT OF SENSOR PAD CORD INCORRECT CORRECT Sensor Pad Sensor Pad Figure 2 POSITION OF SENSOR PAD UNDER MATTRESS (Top down view of crib) CORRECT INCORRECT INCORRECT Sensor Pad centered, colored side up Sensor Pad off center Sensor Pad colored side down SELECT YOUR DETECTION MODE On the right of the Nursery Unit select one of the following three functions by moving the wing upwards or downwards: • Sound / Movement: You will be able to hear your baby's sounds and see sound lights. Your baby's movements are monitored. If no movement is detected after 20 seconds, the alarm will sound. • Tic Off: In this mode you will hear a “Tic” with every movement your baby makes. You will still hear your baby's sounds and see sound lights, and your baby's movement is still being detected. If no movement is detected, the “Tic” will stop and after 20 seconds the alarm will sound. • Sound Only: The Movement Sensor is disabled but you will still be able to hear your baby's sounds and see sound lights. Your Angelcare® works like a regular sound monitor when set to “Sound Only”. Testing Your Monitor Always test your monitor before using it the first time and then on a periodic basis. Before testing your monitor, complete the setup process as described above. TESTING THE MOVEMENT FUNCTION Note: Make Sure your Sensor Pad is set up before proceeding with this section. If you haven't set up your Sensor Pad please go to page 5 for instructions on how to properly set up the Sensor Pad. Make sure the Sensor Pad's cord is plugged into the Nursery Unit. Switch the Nursery Unit to the "Sound / Movement" function. Turn the Parents Unit ON and select either channel A, B or C. Make sure it is set to the same channel as the Nursery Unit. The green power indicator light will light up. Gently pat your hand on the mattress. The green Movement Indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash continuously. Remove your hand from the mattress. Due to the lack of movement, the Movement Indicator light will stop flashing, and a pre-alarm beep will sound after 15 seconds. Five seconds later the alarm will sound, the green Alarm Indicator Light on the Nursery Unit will flash continuously and the green lights on the Parents Unit will also flash continuously. IMPORTANT: If the alarm does not sound when you are not touching the mattress, the Sensor Pad may be detecting a continuous vibration from another source from inside and/or outside your baby's room. Common sources of this interference are crib mobiles, fans, washing machines or even loud music. Therefore, it is very important to make sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor. Place the crib near a solid supporting wall and away from strong air currents. Do not use crib mobiles or accessories that may cause vibrations. Avoid contact with the crib when the monitor is in use. If you find the alarm will still not sound when you are not touching the mattress or crib, the monitor is on, and you have removed all external sources of vibration, the sensitivity level may need to be decreased (Refer to the movement sensitivity adjustment section on page 7). Test the stopping of the alarm: to stop the alarm, place your hand lightly on the mattress so that the Sensor Pad starts detecting movement again. You may also shut the Nursery Unit OFF to stop the alarm. TESTING THE “TIC” FUNCTION Make sure the Sensor Pad's cord is plugged into the Nursery Unit. Switch the Nursery Unit to the "Sound / Movement" function. Turn the Parents Unit ON and select either channel A, B or C. Make sure it is set to the same channel as the Nursery Unit. The green power indicator light will light up. Gently pat your hand on the mattress. The green Movement Indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash and you will hear the Tic sound with every movement. Remove your hand from the mattress. Due to the lack of movement, the ticking will stop, the Movement Indicator light will stop flashing and a pre-alarm beep will sound after 15 seconds. Five seconds later the alarm will sound, the green alarm indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash continuousl and the green lights on the Parents Unit will also flash continuously. To test the sound function, please refer to the Sound Only section below. The “Tic” sound will be heard when the Sound & Movement option is chosen. If you do not wish to hear the “tic”, select “tic off” on the right wing of the Nursery Unit. TESTING THE SOUND FUNCTION Switch the Nursery Unit to "Sound Only". Turn the Parents Unit ON and select either channel A, B or C. Make sure it is set to the same channel as the Nursery Unit. The green power indicator LED will light up. Choose the channel that gives you the best reception. Test the sound: have someone else speak into the Nursery Unit or place a radio near the Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is no sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Adjust the volume to the desired level using the slide button on the right of the Parents Unit. TESTING THE BATTERY POWER Verify that the units are operating on battery power by installing 3 AAA NiHM rechargeable batteries (included) in the Parents Unit and 4 regular AAA batteries (included) in the Nursery Unit and unplugging the AC adapters. The green Power Indicator should light up on all units. Movement Sensitivity adjustment Movement Sensitivity Adjustment The movement sensitivity adjustment dial has been preset to a level which will suit most situations. The highest sensitivity level is 5 (most sensitive) and the lowest sensitivity level is 1 (least sensitive). You may get false alarms if your baby is in a very deep sleep or has moved to the edge of the crib. If you get false alarms due to these circumstances, you should increase the sensitivity level by using the sensitivity dial on the back of the Nursery Unit. NOTE: Adjust the sensitivity level if you receive false alarms and you have followed the advice in the Troubleshooting section for false alarms. Make a note of the position of the sensitivity dial before you change it should you wish to return to that setting. To increase the sensitivity level, start by increasing it by half a level. For example, if the level is currently at 2.5, increase it to 3. Use the monitor as you normally would. If you still experience false alarms, increase it by another half level. If you are still experiencing false alarms when you have reached level 5, please consult our customer service link on our website at www.angelcare-monitor.com Because the Sensor Pad may detect movement from many sources from both inside and outside your baby’s room, be sure all vibration sources are eliminated before changing the movement sensitivity level. Check to see if the Sensor Pad is resting on a flat, firm surface. Place the crib near a solid supporting wall and away from strong air currents. Do not use crib mobiles or accessories that may cause vibrations. Avoid contact with the crib when monitor is in use. To make sure you have avoided all external sources of vibration, take your baby out of the crib while the monitor is on. If the alarm does not sound after you take your baby out of the crib, the sensitivity level may need to be decreased. To decrease the sensitivity level, adjust by half a level by going from 2.5 to 2. If you are still experiencing this problem when the level is set to 1, please consult our customer service link on our website at www.angelcare-monitor.com Special features Out of range indicator Your monitor is equipped with an optional “Out of range” indicator function, which will advise you when the two units are not communicating with each other. Out of range situations can be caused by distance or by physical interferences. Range: up to 820 ft (250 meters). To activate this function, press and hold the night light button on the Nursery Unit for 2 seconds. IMPORTANT: if you turn the Nursery Unit off, you will have to reactivate this option when you turn it on again. When the units are out of range, you will hear a DOUBLE BEEP every 8 seconds and the “out of range” icon will flash on the parents unit. The orange lights next to the out of range icons on both unit will turn orange to remind you that the function has been activated. Sound Lights The Parents Unit features Sound Lights so you can “see” your baby’s sounds if background noise prevents you from hearing your baby. As the sounds get louder, more lights illuminate. Movement Indicator light The Movement Indicator Light is located only on the Nursery Unit. When the Nursery Unit is set to “Tic Off”, the Movement Indicator Light will flash green with your baby's every movement. The flashing green light will let you know that movement is being detected. This will allow you to check on your sleeping baby in the dark without disturbing. Night light The halo on the Nursery Unit acts as a soothing nightlight and allows you to check your baby in the dark with minimal disruption. Press the halo button to turn the night light ON. Tips For Using Your Monitor • When the monitor is in use, do not use a crib mobile or other crib accessories that may produce vibrations. Other sources of vibrations may include fans, washing machines, loud music, etc. These sources of vibration may interfere with the performance of your Angelcare® monitor and the alarm will not sound if it continues to detect any movement. Be sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor. • There are several reasons you may experience false alarms. 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, hard surface with the blue side facing up. The sensitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Refer to the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section. • Your monitor can be used in any crib that is stationary and designed to safely hold a baby.
