15.21 I nterferen ce - This monitor u ses public

Your monitor may even be picked up by

make sure both units are turned O FF when

change the channel on both units.

15.22 Vibration Source - When the monitor
is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or
other crib accessories that may produce
vibrations. Other sources of vibrations
may include fans, washing machines, loud
music, etc. These sources of vibration may
interfere with the performance of your
Angelcare® monitor and the alarm will
not sound if it continues to detect any
movement other than your baby’s. Be sure
all vibration sources are eliminated before
using the monitor.

You may experience false alarms for several
reasons. The most common reason is the
Nursery Unit has not been turned OFF after
you have removed your baby from the crib.
Another reason is the Sensor Pad has not
been placed under the mattress properly.

Be sure the Sensor Pad is on a flat, firm
surface with the printed side facing up.

The sensitivity level may also need to be
adjusted. Refer to step 5.1.

15.23 Sensor Pad - Your Sensor Pad can
be used in any crib that is stationary. If
the crib has a spring or slat base, place a
hard board between the crib base and the
Sensor Pad measuring at least 13” x 13”
(33 x 33 cm) and 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
Only use your Angelcare® monitor in a
stationary sleeping environment such as
a crib where the Sensor Pad can rest on
a completely flat, firm surface.

15.24 The Sensor Pad is made of plastic
and does not permit the air to circulate.
Therefore, mildew build up could develop
underneath the mattress in the sensor pad
area. We suggest rotating the mattress
regularly to prevent any mildew.
