Important safety notices

1. Your baby monitor is designed as just an aid. It is not a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision.

2. Make sure all cables and units are out of your baby’s reach – at least one metre away.

3. Never cover either unit, put them in moist places or inside the cot, bed or playpen.

4. If you travel abroad, check the voltage on your unit’s plugs match the local power output.

5. Only use the battery supplied for the Parent unit. If you need to replace it, contact our Sales or Support Team.

6. Do not take the product apart. If you need repairs, get in touch with our Sales or Support Team.

7. The Baby unit might get warm after it’s been on for a while. Don’t worry – this is normal, and it’s perfectly safe.

Getting set up

➊

to be monitoring your baby most of the time. (Most people have their charging dock on a bedside table).

When does near become too far?

The maximum range between your Parent and Baby units is up to 300 metres, in optimum conditions, outdoors and up to 50 metres, in optimum conditions, indoors. Thick walls and doors reduce the units’ range and affect how they link to each other.

Need some help? Call 1300 889 785 or go to www.oricom.com.au

Getting set up

Tips

You can also plug the power cable directly into your Parent unit without needing to use the charging dock.

You can also charge your Parent unit using other micro USB cables. This can be handy when you’re away from home with your baby.

Note: these cables are not included but are available as optional accessories.

When your Parent unit charges while switched off, it turns itself off when fully charged. This means the battery icon goes off, too.

Plug the USB end into the charging dock, then plug the power plug into the

➋

power socket and switch the power on.

Getting set up

Important note about batteries

A fully charged Parent unit will last about 6.5 hours with normal use. To speed up charging, charge the Parent unit when it’s switched off. You can also charge the Parent unit and use it at the same time, but it’ll charge more slowly and take longer to fully charge. If the Parent unit battery is low with only about 30 minutes’ charge left, you’ll hear an alert tone. If this happens, put the Parent unit back on charge if you want to keep monitoring your baby.

Put your Parent unit on the dock to charge for at least ve hours.

➍

You can tell it’s fully charged when the

battery icon on the screen is solid

green.

Need some help? Call 1300 889 785 or go to www.oricom.com.au

Getting set up

After the Parent unit has charged for ve hours you’re ready to set up your

➎

Baby unit (camera). To get the best performance, place your Baby unit between one and two metres away from your baby. If you like, you can also attach the unit to a wall*. See page 37 for how to do this. Make sure there’s enough slack in the power cable so the Baby unit can pan freely. Possible note regarding wall mounting option may render projection not usable as will direct the projection at a wall or at babies cot/bed.

1-2 Metres

*NOTE: When wall mounting the Baby unit consider the direction of the

Lightshow projection. For best operation point toward a surface 2-3 meters away (e.g. ceiling or nearby wall).

Tip

Point the Baby unit’s camera to the centre of the mattress or playpen. You can always adjust this later.

Don’t twist it

Don’t twist your Baby unit by hand to change the camera view or angle. You might damage it.

Important note

The Baby unit might get warm after it’s been on for a while. Don’t worry – this is normal, and it’s perfectly safe.

Important note about connections

If the Parent and Baby unit lose the link or connection between

them, the link light will ash and

the screen will say the link is lost, and is trying to reconnect. If after 30 seconds there’s still no link, you’ll hear an alert tone from the Parent unit. First, check on your baby and then follow the steps from step 7 again to set up the link again.

Using your power adaptor cable, plug one end into the power plug on the Baby

Night vision

3232

The Baby unit has a night vision mode that allows you to monitor your baby in dark rooms. The Baby unit has infrared LEDs that are invisible to your baby so they don’t disturb or distract them.

The night vision mode will automatically turn on when the ambient light drops and the room becomes dark. The picture will turn to a black and white image.

The night vision works best when the Baby unit is placed between 1 and 2 metres from your baby (or ideally <3.5m from your baby). Any further away and the image will not be as clear.

Help and troubleshooting

If you have any problems setting up or using your baby monitor, see if these common questions can help.

How long does the Parent unit battery last?

How do I replace the battery?

You should only use a Lithium 3.7V 2500mAh 9.25Wh battery from our helpdesk. Call us on 1300 889 785 when you need to replace it. When you get it, take off the battery compartment cover and pull the tab inside to get the old battery out. Then insert your new battery and put the cover back on.

How do I attach my Baby unit to a wall?

You get some screws and plugs with your baby monitor.

Here’s what to do.

1. Make sure the wall can support the Baby unit.

2. Make sure the power plug can reach the power socket.

3. Check that you aren’t drilling into any hidden wiring or plumbing. Oricom isn’t responsible for any damage or injury caused while trying to wall mount your Baby unit.

4. Use a pencil to mark where you want your Baby unit.

5. Check the reception strength of the Baby unit and its camera angle before drilling two 5mm holes, 37mm apart.

Help and troubleshooting

My Parent/Baby unit isn’t working. What should I do? Check that:

1. power cables are plugged in and switched on at the wall socket

2. batteries are installed correctly and fully charged

3. the units are turned on

4. the Parent unit isn’t too far from the Baby unit(s) (large obstructions or other electrical devices might affect the signal between the Parent and Baby unit).

Sometimes unplugging the power cables, waiting about 20 seconds, and then plugging them back in can help. If you do this, you’ll need to allow about a minute for Parent and Baby unit(s) to link.

My Parent/Baby unit is making a high-pitched noise. What should I do?

They might be too close together. Make sure they’re at least 2-3 metres apart.

How do I reset my Parent unit?
