Installing A Battery

Battery changing should only be done by an adult.

The Parents Unit can be operated on battery power.

1. Push a key, screwdriver, or other object at an angle into the side slot under the AC adapter jack as shown, and lift up to open the battery compartment.

2. Snap a nine volt battery into proper terminals. An alkaline battery is recommended. Place battery into compartment.

3. Snap battery compartment cover closed.

BATTERY USE TIPS

Remove battery from Parents Unit if it will not be used for a long time.

Remove a dead battery promptly. A dead battery left in unit may leak, damaging your unit.

Do not attempt to recharge a nonrechargeable battery.

A rechargeable battery CANNOT be recharged by plugging AC adapter into the Parents Unit. Remove the battery from unit to recharge it.

Charging of a rechargeable battery should only be done by an adult.

Battery power will be conserved when Parents Unit is powered through AC adapter. It is not necessary to remove battery when using AC adapter.

Change battery if:

Signal reception becomes poor

Static noise develops (also check

for appliance interference)

Using AC Adapters

The Parents Unit can use either a battery or standard 120 volt AC household current. The Nursery Unit uses standard 120 volt AC household current only. The included AC adapters must be used for this purpose.

To use AC adapters, plug the connector on the cord into the AC adapter jack on the side of the unit. Then plug adapter into a standard wall

outlet.

11 12

Use ONLY the Graco®adapters

included with the unit. Do not use these adapters with other equipment under any circumstances.

If units do not work, check that AC adapters are plugged into working outlets.

When electricity is off (from a power failure, etc.), the transmitter will NOT work, since it only operates on AC current.

SETTING UP THE MONITOR

1. Check that both Nursery Unit

and Parents Unit are set to the same channel.

2. Place the Nursery Unit within 10 feet (2-3 meters) of your baby. Plug an AC adapter into the jack on the side of the Nursery Unit. Plug it into a working 120 volt AC outlet.

3. Aim the Nursery Unit toward your baby. Check that there are no walls or large objects that could block sound transmission.

Do not place the Nursery Unit or AC adapter cord within your childs reach. DO NOT place Nursery Unit inside a crib or play yard.

4. Turn on the Nursery Unit using

the ON/OFF switch on the left side. The red power light should come on.

5. Install a nine volt battery into the

Parents Unit, or plug it into a working 120 volt AC outlet using the other AC adapter.

6. Turn on the Parents Unit using

the volume control dial on the right side. The red power light should come on.

TESTING THE UNITS

It is VERY IMPORTANT to test the system when first set up, and at regular times thereafter. Test the units any time they may have been damaged or have not been used for a long time.

1. If two adults are present, have one take the Parents Unit to different locations, trying various volume settings, while the other speaks into the Nursery Unit.

2. If only one adult is available, place a ticking clock, radio, or other sound-producing device near the Nursery Unit to test it.

3. When testing, keep the level of your childs sounds in mind, and adjust the volume accordingly.

4. If there is sound interference, switch both the Nursery Unit and the Parents Unit to the other channel setting.

Most problems have a simple solution. First, check that:

Power is turned ON for both units

Both units are plugged in (or battery is fresh in Parents Unit)

Electrical outlet works

Units are set to same channel

Volume is turned up on Parents Unit

Parents Unit is in range of the Nursery Unit

If necessary, try the following ideas:

Solving Problems

NO SOUND:

Battery dead or weakreplace or use AC adapter. Channel settings do not matchset both units to same channel. AC adapter not properly connectedcheck the connections. Nursery Unit covered or blockedremove the obstruction.

WEAK SOUND:

Parents Unit too far from Nursery Unitmove closer. Large objects blocking the signaltry repositioning Nursery Unit. Check that antennas are vertical and are not touched by other objects. Volume setting too lowturn it up.

STATIC:

Interference from other electrical equipmenteliminate cause of static

(TVs, mixers, computers, fans, fluorescent lights, light dimmers, etc.) Parents Unit too far from Nursery Unitmove them closer. Channel settings do not matchset both units to same channel. Try other channel on both Parents Unit and Nursery unit.

SHRILL NOISE (FEEDBACK):

Nursery Unit and Parents Unit too close togethermove them farther apart. Volume set too highlower the volume.

If you cannot solve the problem, please contact our

Customer Service Department at 1-800-345-4109.

Do not attempt to modify the unit. Any modifications to the transmitter and/or receiver can void the operators authority to operate the equipment.

This monitor operates on one or more of the following frequencies:

49.830 Mhz, 49.845 Mhz, 49.860 Mhz, 49.875 Mhz, 49.890 Mhz. Maximum signal strength is 10 millivolts/meter at 3 meters.

For your privacy, always turn off the Nursery Unit when not in use.
