Warnings

• This product is NOT a medical device nor a device to prevent

cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

• This product is NOT a substitute for direct supervision of your

baby. Check your baby’s activities at regular intervals. Monitoring

of premature babies, or those considered to be at risk, should be

carried out only under the supervision of a doctor or health

professional.

• The Sensor Pad may detect movement from many sources from

both inside and outside your baby’s room, for example: fans,

washing machines, loud music, etc.

Ensure that all vibration

sources are eliminated before using the Angelcare

Monitor.

Avoid contact with crib when monitor is in use. Refer to the

Movement Sensitivity Adjustment and Troubleshooting

sections.

• ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright position,

away from baby’s reach.

• DO NOT touch the end of the adapter cord when plugged into an

electrical outlet.

• The Angelcare

Monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals.

The Parents Unit may pick up signals or interference from other

nursery monitors in your area. Your monitor may even be picked

up by other households. To protect your privacy, make sure both

units are in the OFF position when not in use.

• This product should be serviced by qualified personnel. There are

no user serviceable parts inside monitor. Refer all service

questions to your distributor (see page 43).

Instructions

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS: Keep user’s manual for future reference.

WATER, MOISTURE AND HEAT DAMAGE: Keep all 3 components

away from water (sink, bath tub, swimming pool) and places that emit

heat (stove, radiator).

VENTILATION: ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright

position so that air can flow freely around them.

AC POWER SOURCE: Use ONLY the AC adapters supplied with the

Angelcare

Monitor.

CORD PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the Sensor Pad cord and to the

adapter cords. Route cords so that they are not likely to be walked on

or pinched by items placed upon or against them.

CLEANING: Disconnect all units before cleaning. DO NOT immerse in

water. Use a dry cloth to keep monitor free from dust.

DO NOT spray

with cleaning products or solvents. Wipe Sensor Pad with a very

slightly damp cloth with an antiseptic or mild detergent.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects do

not fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or

Sensor Pad through their openings.

NON-USE PERIODS: When not using monitor for long periods,

remove the batteries from both units and disconnect the AC adapters

from electrical outlet.

Testing Your Angelcare

Monitor

Note: Test your Angelcare

Monitor BEFORE first-time use and then

on a periodic basis.

The Angelcare

Monitor can be used outside of the crib, in a different

sleeping area. Test monitor when moving Sensor Pad to a new location

to ensure sensitivity is adjusted correctly to the new padding or

mattress. Consult the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.

Step 1. On the Nursery Unit, switch to the "Sound Only" function. Have

someone else speak into the Nursery Unit or place a radio near

Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is

no sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Make sure that both

units are on the same channel, either both on A or B. If reception is

not clear, switch to other channel.

Step 2.

Test monitor to detect movement. Switch Nursery Unit to the

"Sound & Movement" function. The Movement indicator light will flash

red, green and then emit a single "Tic" sound. Gently pat your hand on

the mattress. The green light will continue to flash with your every

movement. Remove hand from mattress. Due to no movement, a "pre-

alarm Tic" sound will emit after 15 seconds. 5 seconds later, the alarm

will sound and the red light will flash continuously.

NOTE: If alarm does not sound, the Sensor Pad may be detecting a

continuous vibration from the floor, a strong draft or the crib is being

touched. Avoid contact with crib when monitor is in use. Place crib

near a solid supporting wall and away from strong air currents. The

sensitivity of the Sensor Pad may need to be reduced, consult the

Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.

Step 3. To stop alarm, pat your hand lightly on mattress for Sensor

Pad to redetect movement. The red Alarm indicator light on the

Nursery Unit will continue to flash 1 minute (Figure 3).

Step 4. Verify that the battery mode is functional by operating both

units without the AC adapters. The green Power light should appear on

both units.

Parents Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears,

replace batteries promptly for Model AC201. For Model AC201-R,

recharge Parents Unit.

Nursery Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears a

rapid "clicking" is heard, replace batteries promptly. If not, the light

will eventually turn red and the monitor will stop working.

Operating Tips

Movement Sensitivity Adjustment

The sensitivity adjustment dial has been preset to suit

most situations. However in certain circumstances,

the sensitivity may not be ideal.

DO NOT increase

sensitivity unless false alarms occurs and you have

followed the advice in the Troubleshooting section for

false alarms. Make a note of the pre-set position of the dial should you

wish to return to it.

The movement indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash orange

when monitor barely detects movement. This could be a result of:

baby being in a very deep sleep or baby having moved away from

Sensor Pad to edge of crib. If alarm does

NOT sound, no adjustment

of sensitivity is required. If the Movement indicator light flashes

orange most of the time with baby directly over the location of the

Sensor Pad, a false alarm may occur. If this happens, adjust the

sensitivity.

To adjust the sensitivity, place baby on mattress or padding and wait

until baby is asleep and has settled. This will ensure a more precise

tuning. Set dial to 5, then proceed to lower sensitivity until orange light

flashes on Nursery Unit. Then slowly increase slightly until green light

appears. Add 1/2 point to set the sensitivity level (ex. If green light

appears at 3, then set dial at 3.5). Retest monitor.

Channel selection for sound reception

Make sure that both units are on the same channel, either both on A

or B. If reception is not clear, switch to other channel. If interference

persists, consult the Troubleshooting section.

NOTE: This monitoring system is NOT equipped with an out-of-range

indicator. No sound will be received if the Parents Unit and Nursery

Unit are too far apart.

Yellow Sound Lights

The four Sound Lights allow you to see baby’s sounds. The louder the

sounds from baby, the more lights appear.
