5 EASY STEPS TO OPERATE YOUR ANGELCARE
®
MONITOR
STEP 1. SENSOR PAD
Place Sensor Pad lengthwise under crib mattress, directly under where baby sleeps (Figures 1 and 2). Printed side of Sensor Pad
MUST face up. DO NOT place any bedding or linen between crib mattress and Sensor Pad.
Sensor Pad must rest on a firm surface. If your crib has a spring base, place a piece of plywood measuring at least 400 mm x
600 mm x 6 mm (16" x 24" x 1/4") on spring base. If your crib has a plywood base, your mattress support is firm enough to
properly use monitor.
STEP 2. NURSERY UNIT (TRANSMITTER)
• Insert 4 AAA batteries into Nursery Unit (for battery backup in case of power failure).
• Connect Sensor Pad to Nursery Unit (Figures 3 and 6).
• On the back of the Nursery Unit, select 1 of the 3 functions of how you want to monitor your baby from the Parents Unit:
Sound & Movement: To hear sounds, see sound lights and hear a "Tic" sound with every movement baby makes.
Tic off: Same as Sound & Movement function BUT without the "Tic" sound.
Sound Only: 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 AC201: Insert 4 AAA batteries into Parents Unit. Or, connect AC adapter to Parents Unit and plug adapter to an electrical outlet.
Model AC201-R: The pre-installed NiCad 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, only recharge the Parents Unit when the orange Low Battery light flashes.
NOTE: Only the Parents Unit is rechargeable in Model AC201-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 or B. 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 AC201. When orange Low Battery indicator flashes, change batteries promptly (or recharge Parents
Unit for Model AC201-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 Pad and its cord 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. It must have a
firm flat bottom greater than the size of the Sensor Pad - 260 mm x 406 mm (10" x 16"). DO NOT use in a rocking cradle.
• If you have questions or need help, please call your distributor, see page 43.
