10About Pairing CodesThe Parent Unit(s) and Child Unit are digitally “paired” at the factory. This means they are digitally encrypted with the same electronic code so that they can securely communicate with each other and not be confused by the signals sent out by other electronic devices, such as cell phones or other monitors.It is unlikely, but possible, that strong electronic interference, such as a power surge, could erase this coding. Should this occur, you can reset the pairing codes by following these steps.To reset pairing codes:1. Turn off the Parent Unit(s), and remove the belt clip/stand (use a small screwdriver to loosen the holding screw).2. Turn off the Child Unit.3. Position the two units close together (within 3 inches).4. Insert the end of a paper clip into the reset hole on the Child Unit. 5. Turn on the Child Unit and immediately firmly push the paper clip down and hold. Release once both power and connection indicators start blinking. It is critical that both indicators are blinking. If this does not happen, repeat steps 2 - 5 again. 6. Turn on the Parent Unit.7. Insert paper clip into the reset hole on the Parent Unit, firmly push the paper clip down and release.8. Both Units will go into regular operation mode once pairing is complete. If this does not happen repeat steps 1 - 7.9. If you have P400, repeat steps 1-8 for second Parent Unit.NOTE: This pairing operation could take up to 60 seconds.If this operation does not restore monitor functionality, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-704-8697. CareTo Clean:Do not immerse the parent unit(s) or the child unit in water. Do not use cleaning spray or liquid cleaners.1. Unplug the child and parent unit(s) if they are connected to a power source.2. Clean the child and parent unit(s) with a damp cloth. Make sure they are dry before re-connecting them to a power source.3. Unplug the adaptors and clean them with a dry cloth.4. Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally friendly manner.5. If the baby unit is connected to a power supply, check its batteries for leakage every six months.StorageWhen you are not going to use your True Choice monitor for some time, remove the alkaline batteries from the child unit and remove the rechargeable batteries from the parent units(s).
