Failure to follow these warnings and the assembly instructions
could result in serious injury or death.

This product is designed to aid in the monitoring of
your child. When using the monitor, you must still pro­vide the supervision necessary for the continued safe­ty of your child. Always be sure that both the transmit­ter and receiver are working properly and are within
range of each other.

• STRANGULATION HAZARD. Keep the adapter cords
out of the reach of children. Do not use with extension
cords.

• DO NOT place the Nursery Unit or its cord within your
child’s reach. Do not put the Nursery Unit inside a crib
or playard.

• Use ONLY with 110-120 volt AC electrical outlets.

• Protect the AC adapter cords. Place them so they are
not walked on or pinched by furniture or other items.

• Allow for proper ventilation when units are in use. Do
not cover the Nursery Unit or Parent Unit with any
object such as a blanket. Do not place it in a drawer or
in any location which would muffle the sound or inter­fere with the normal flow of air.

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.

• DO NOT immerse any part of the Nursery Unit or
Parent Unit in water. Clean only with a dry cloth.

• DO NOT place unit near water and moisture. Do not
use the Nursery Unit outdoors. Do not use the Nursery
Unit near possible wet areas, such as a bathtub, show­er, wash basin, sink, laundry tub, swimming pool, wet
basement, etc.

• Keep Nursery Unit away from heat sources, such as
fireplaces, radiators, stoves, and TVs or other appli­ances. Heat can damage the case or electrical parts.

• DO NOT OPEN THE NURSERY UNIT, PARENT UNIT
OR ADAPTERS.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Risk of electrical
shock, fire or death.

• The antenna used for this transmitter must be
installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20
cm (7.9”) from all persons and must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

DO NOT use these adapters with any other equipment.
Use only with the provided adapters.

• When unplugging the AC adapter from the nursery
unit, be sure it is switched to the off position. If it isn’t,
the unit will revert to battery mode if batteries are
installed.

• Always place both the Nursery Unit and Parents’ Unit
on a flat surface in an upright position and allow for
proper ventilation.

• 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 on or against
them.

• Route sensor pad cord only below crib mattress and
out of reach of children.

• Use ONLY AAA (LR03) batteries (included) and/or the
AC adapters provided for the Parents’ Units.

• During long periods of non-use remove all batteries
from their compartments and unplug the AC adapters.

• This 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
turned off when not in use. If you experience
interference, change the channel on both units.

WARNING: This product is not a toy.

• Do not use the Nursery Unit if:

• The adapter cords or plugs have been damaged.

• The unit has been exposed to liquids.

• Unit has been dropped or is damaged.

• This 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.

• 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.

Modifications not authorized by the manufacturer may
void users authority to operate this device.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable pro­tection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used inaccordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications.

• 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
turquoise side facing up. The sensitivity level may
also need to be adjusted. Refer to the Movement
Sensitivity Adjustment section on Page 7.

• Always be sure to immediately check on baby
whenever an alarm sounds.

• Your monitor can be used in any crib that is sta­tionary and designed to safely hold a baby. If your crib
has a spring or slat base you will need to place a
piece of Masonite board under the Sensor Pad. This
support must be at least 13 inches long on all four
sides and 1/4 inch 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.

• 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 cloth mois­tened very slightly with an antiseptic or mild deter­gent.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the follow­ing measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connect­ed.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech­nician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference
received,including interference that may cause unde­sired operation.
