is baby monitor is compliant with all relevant standards regarding electromagnetic ﬁelds and is, when handled as described in the User’s Guide, safe to use

WARNINGS

1. Because of the serious strangulation risk to infant & toddlers, parents & caregivers should note the following Warnings

WARNING

- Strangulation Hazard –

Children have STRANGLED in cords

• KEEP the Nursery Unit and adapter cords OUT of the

reach of children more than 3 feet or 1 meter away

• NEVER use extension cords with adapters. ONLY use

adapters provided

• is product is NOT a Toy. NEVER allow children to play with it

WARNING

- MOVEMENT SENSOR PAD - NO ALARM

• Sources of vibration & movement, other than your baby’s, can be detected by the Sensor Pad and interfere with the performance of your Angelcare monitor

• e alarm will not sound if it detects movement other than your baby’s

• High sensitivity settings can pick up other sources of vibration & movement please read instructions on sensitivity setting to adjust accordingly

• Other active and older babies (toddlers) in the same room can be detected and the alarm will not sound

• Ensure the baby’s environment is FREE from any movements or vibrations when using the Sensor Pad - see below warnings 3 to 11

3. DO NOT use a crib mobile and other crib accessories that may produce movements or vibrations

4. Fans (including ceiling), washing machines, ﬂoor boards, central heating or loud music are all forms of movement and vibration and may interfere and be detected by the Sensor Pad

5. If an additional Nursery Unit is added then it must be positioned at least 6.5 feet (2 metres) minimum from Nursery Unit 1 and Sensor Pad as this could interfere with performance

6. DO NOT use with bedside crib touching parent’s/ carer’s bed as the Sensor Pad will detect your movements

7. DO NOT place the crib against a wall or skir ting board as vibrations may be detected

8. Following removal of baby from the crib, some mattresses may still detect mattress movement due to it forming back into shape and alarm may not sound

9. Ensure crib is stable to eliminate any movement

10. Crib should not be placed in reaching distance of another crib or bed

11 . DO NOT use other wireless devices in the same room as the monitor (including mobile phones, microwaves...). ey may interfere with signal and performance

12 . e Sensor Pad is made of plastic and does not permit air to circulate. erefore, mildew

build up could develop underneath the mattress in the Sensor Pad area We suggest rotating & airing /drying the mattress regularly to prevent any mildew. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOISTURE. Clean - wipe with a dry lint free cloth

13. e Sensor Pad is not suitable for use above age 24 months

14. is product cannot replace responsible adult supervision

• is product is designed to aid in the monitoring of your child. When using the monitor, you must still

CFO2_ANGE_Manuel_AC527_NA_Complet.indd 2 19-02-06 12:44

E N

provide the supervision necessary for the continued safety of your child

• Use this appliance ONLY for its intended use as described in this manual

15. e Sensor Pad is not intended to be used

to determine if a child is out of the crib

16. ALWAYS be sure to immediately check on

baby whenever an alarm sounds

17. Keep cords out of the reach of ANY

children

18. ONLY use the chargers and power

adapters provided. Do not use other types as this may damage the device and battery pack (if included in your model)

19. Adult assembly required. Keep small parts

away from children when assembling

20. Follow instructions and test this monitor

and its functions so you are familiar with it prior to actual use. ALWAYS be sure that both the

transmitter and receiver are working properly and are within range of each other – check periodically and when changing location of the Nursery Unit

21 . DO NOT touch the plug contacts especially with sharp or metal objects

22 . DO NOT use the baby monitor near water

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 its openings

CAUTION

1 SETTING UP THE PARENT UNIT

Charge the Parent Unit 8 hours

prior to ﬁrst use

Regular charging time is 4 hours

2 SETTING UP THE SENSOR PAD

e Sensor Pad is designed to detect subtle baby movements on the surface of the mattress.e alarm will only sound if NO movement is detected for 20 seconds.

1. Remove the battery cover

and insert the battery face with + face up

2. Replace the battery cover,

align 2 dots and click to secure

3. Remove the mattress from

the crib, place Sensor Pad

- Angelcare® logo side up - on base in approximate

centre of mattress. It should be centred on the hardboard if your crib requires a hardboard support (see ‘IMPORTANT’ note below)

4. Replace the mattress

Correct positioning

for slatted base

CFO2_ANGE_Manuel_AC527_NA_Complet.indd 5 19-02-06 12:44

IMPORTANT

• If your crib does not have a solid, stationary, completely ﬂat, ﬁrm surface including a spring or slat base, place a hardboard between the crib base and the Sensor Pad, to ensure correct operation. e hardboard support must measure at least 30 x 30 cm (12” x 12”) and 6 mm (1/4”) thick. is hardboard support must be larger than the Sensor Pad surface area

• e Sensor Pad functions with standard crib sprung and foam mattresses and not memory foam (partial or full), hollow frame construction mattresses and water beds. Please consult Angelcare if unsure of mattress compatibility. e hardboard maintains a constant pressure on the Sensor Pad, enabling it to detect the baby’s movements even when the baby is at the edges of the crib

3 SETTING UP THE NURSERY UNIT

least 3 feet (1 meter)

4 TURNING ON YOUR MONITOR

NURSERY UNIT PARENT UNIT

Note:

• Your Nursery Unit and Parent Unit come pre-paired

• Each time you power ON your Nursery Unit, the internal thermometer will need to calibrate to ensure accuracy. is automatic process will take approximately 30 minutes

NURSERY UNIT PARENT UNIT

PAUSING AND RESTARTING THE SENSOR PAD

• Allows you to pause the Sensor Pad if you remove baby from the crib, e.g. for feeding or comforting. Ensure to un-pause the Sensor Pad before putting baby in the crib

TEST THE SENSOR PAD

1. Sources of vibration & movement other than your baby’s can be detected by the Sensor Pad and

interfere with the performance of your Angelcare monitor. e alarm will not sound if it detects movement other than your baby’s

2. ere are 4 sensitivity settings. e unit is set at level 3 (default) and can be adjusted

accordingly

3. e Sensor Pad will detect false movements if you are touching the crib

4. e monitor will produce a Rouse alarm single beep tone designed to stir baby if no movement

has been detected for 15 seconds. If no further movement is detected, the main alarm will sound at 20 seconds – a series of continuous beeps

SENSOR PAD FOUR CORNER TEST

1. Place the Sensor Pad at the approximate centre of baby’s sleeping area and put the mattress

back in place

2. Switch ON both Nursery & Parent Units – check both units are paired (connected)

3. Immediately pat your hand lightly and continuously on a corner of the mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement. If movement is detected you will hear a

TIC sound every 5 seconds and PU will ﬂash green for a single sensor pad

4. Step away from the crib

5. e alarm will sound from the Nursery and Parent Unit after 20 seconds.

If the Alarm does not sound, ensure everything is setup correctly and try again; check battery levels on all units, follow the manual for ‘NO ALARMS’ – the sensitivity setting may require lowering by a single level due to other vibrations/movements

6. If the alarm sounds, pat your hand lightly on a corner of mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement. It may take up to 8 seconds to recognise movement and for alarm to stop.

7. If the alarm continues, even after lightly patting the corner of your mattress twice, adjust the sensitivity higher and repeat this test

CFO2_ANGE_Manuel_AC527_NA_Complet.indd 7 19-02-06 12:44

IMPORTANT

• Test your monitor before ﬁrst use

• Prior to use and on a regular basis (before placing your child in the crib) always check the Sensor Pad is detecting no movements or vibrations in its environment

• Test your monitor every time you move the Sensor Pad to a diﬀerent place
