5 EASY STEPS TO OPERATE YOUR ANGELCARE
®
MONITOR
STEP 1. SENSOR PADS
Connect the two Sensor Pads together using the shorter wires. Position Sensor Pads as illustrated (Figures 1 and 2). If you are using a
bassinet or small crib, position the one Sensor Pad with 2 cords under mattress. Connect the long Sensor Pad cord to the Nursery Unit
(Figure 3). The printed side of Sensor Pads MUST face up. DO NOT tuck thick bedding under the edges of the mattress.
Sensor Pads 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 3 AAA batteries into Nursery Unit (for battery backup in case of power failure).
• Connect Sensor Pads to Nursery Unit (Figures 3 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 (orange
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. Or, 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 4). 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 other 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.
To avoid feedback (whistling sound), keep both units at least 3 meters apart (10 feet).
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 Pads and their cords are 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. 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 or both of them 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.
