BATTERY INSTALLATION:
Tools required: Phillips Head Screwdriver
(not included) & Rechargeable Battery
Pack (included).
1. Unscrew battery cover and remove
from Parent Unit (Figure 1).
2. Align connectors of the Parent Unit and
rechargeable battery pack (Figure 2).
3. Place rechargeable battery pack inside
Parent Unit (Figures 3 & 4).
4. Secure battery cover with its screw.
Baby Unit (Transmitter):
PROPER POSITIONING
IMPORTANT: When choosing locations to set up the Baby Unit and Parent Unit, follow
these guidelines:
• For best sound quality, place Baby Unit 6 feet (2 meters) away from the baby.
• Adjust volume dial on Parent Unit to appropriate level to minimize feedback.
• During use of the monitor, sound quality deteriorates as you reach the
limits of the monitor's range. If this happens, you will need to move the
Parent Unit in closer proximity to the Baby Unit.
• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level for your environment.
The first time you use your monitoring system, two adults should test it in the
following way:
• Place Parent Unit at least 20 ft. (6m) away from Baby Unit.
• Have an adult speak into Baby Unit at various levels (soft to loud)
while another adult checks Parent Unit for the proper sound reception.
Try Parent Unit in every location that it will be used.
Care and Cleaning:
Use a soft, dry cloth to keep your monitor free from dust.
DO NOT immerse product in water.
IMPORTANT:
Use household electricity whenever possible. When the AC Adapter is used with your
household electricity, you will find that the power is stronger and more consistent than
when you rely solely on the battery. Range and sound quality also depends on the
construction of your house. Steel reinforced wall, for example, reduces the effective
range of the monitor. Conserve the battery so you will have power when you don’t
have easy access to AC outlets.
Make sure that both Units are on the same channel.
Even though you may hear you baby’s sounds, proper use of this system requires that
both Units must be on the same channel. If the Units are on different channels, the
signals from the Baby Unit may still be strong enough to be picked up by the Parent
Unit, but there will be a lot of static.
When not using the Unit, remove AC Adapter
and be sure the power button is “OFF”.
When you are not using the AC Adapter, remove it from the Unit and store it in a safe,
dry place until you need it again. If the AC Adapter is plugged into the Parent Unit but
not being used in an electrical outlet, the AC Adapter will prevent battery operation
of the Unit.
When using the AC Adapter with household electricity,
make sure the outlet is “ON”.
Some electrical outlets are powered through a switch in the room. If the Baby Unit is
plugged in and turned “ON”, the power indicator light should be lit. If it is not, try
turning the light switch in the room “ON”.

AC ADAPTER
The Parent Unit operates on household electricity with the AC Adapter or
with rechargeable battery (included). The Baby Unit operates on household electricity
with the AC Adapter only. The Parent Unit will automatically convert to AC operation
when used with the AC Adapter. It is not necessary to remove the battery during AC
operation. The Parent Unit will automatically switch back to battery power when plug
is disconnected from the AC Adapter.
The AC Adapter should be used whenever possible on the Parent Unit to save battery
life. This is done by inserting the AC Adapter into the AC Adapter Jack. Then simply
plug the AC Adapter into a nearby standard household outlet (120V AC outlet). The AC
Adapters may become slightly warm to the touch during operation. This is normal.
This AC Adapter is a low voltage power source which allows you to use your house-
hold electricity to run the Baby and Parent Units when it connects to the AC Adapter
Jack in the Parent Unit and in the Baby Unit, and plugs into any standard electrical
outlet in your home.
To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the adapter "brick."
DO NOT pull on the cord, as this could damage it.
CAUTION: This AC Adapter was made with a specific design for the Safety 1st
Monitor. It cannot be used with any other appliance, and never use a different type
of adapter with this Monitor.
Note: When using the Parent Unit on battery power, make sure the adaptor cord is
unplugged from the side of the monitor. The Parent Unit will NOT function on battery
power if the adaptor cord is still plugged into the side of the monitor. It must be
disconnected from the unit.
Parent Unit (Receiver):
CHANNEL SELECTION
The Monitor can broadcast over two preset factory frequencies or channels. Use setting
“1” making sure that both units are set to “1”. If you experience static or noise interference,
simply switch both units to channel “2”, whichever channel option provides
the best reception.
POWER INDICATOR
The power indicator is a green LED that indicates that the unit is on and functioning.
VOLUME DIAL
Volume can be adjusted to any desired listening level by rotating the Volume Dial,
so you can be sure to hear your baby at all times. The sounds are transmitted through the wide
range speaker. It is essential to check reception regularly. Refer to Use and Care section.
SOUND LIGHTS
As baby’s voice gets louder, the sound light LEDs will illuminate from left to right and rises
incrementally as baby’s noise level increases until all Sound Light LEDs are illuminated.
LOW BATTERY INDICATOR
Low battery power is indicated by the red LED, which signals when the battery needs
to be rcharged.
LINK INDICATOR - OUT OF RANGE
Static noise will be heard if both units are not set to the same channels or if they
are too far apart.
BELT CLIP
The Belt Clip is convenient for portability. You can clip the Parent Unit to your belt
