1WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT

Please read this user guide thoroughly before use.

Your ORICOM Baby Monitor is designed to be an aid and
should not be used as a substitute for responsible and
proper adult supervision of a child.

The Baby Monitor has been designed to provide some
added reassurance in the form of sound transmission
for those times when you are not in the same room as
your baby provided you always stay within hearing range
of the baby monitor during use. Your Baby Monitor is
not a medical device, nor a device to prevent cases of
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID'S) or "cot death",
and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing. It is
important that you regularly check on your baby personally.

Make sure the Baby unit, Parent unit and mains adaptor
cables are kept out of reach of your baby and other young
children within the house at all times, at least one metre
away from the baby's cot.

Never place the baby unit inside your baby's cot, bed or
playpen.

Never cover the Parent or baby units with clothes, towels
or blankets or any other item.

Do not place the cord in a high "wear and tear" location.
Never use a frayed or compromised cord.

Never use or place your Parent or Baby units in or near
moisture or water (e.g. near bath or pool). Immersing in
water can cause electric shock and even death.

Power requirements

In Australia this product requires an electrical supply of
220-240 volts, single phase/alternating current.

CAUTION

!

If you plan to use your Baby monitor whilst travelling
overseas, make sure that the voltage shown on the mains
power adaptor is the same as the local mains power before
connecting to the power supply. Do not use any voltage
converter with the monitor.

Use only the mains power adaptors supplied with this
equipment. Incorrect adaptor polarity or voltage can
seriously damage the unit and/or cause physical harm
and even death. The adaptors may become warm during
use, please take care when handling.

2 WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION

Battery requirements

Each parent unit requires two rechargeable Ni-MH
batteries, size AAA 1.2V 800mAh (HR10/44).

• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fi re, as they can
explode.

• Do not open, unscrew or temper with any of your
baby monitor units or battery. Always carry out repairs
through your authorised ORICOM representative or
other duly qualifi ed tradesperson.

• Released electrolyte from the battery is corrosive
and can cause damage to the eyes or skin. It can
be toxic and fatal if swallowed. If there is any sign of
poisoning, immediately call emergency 000.

• When your Baby Monitor is not in use, it is recom­mended that you disconnect it from the mains supply
and remove the batteries.

• Observe the proper polarity, or direction, of any
battery. Reverse insertion of the battery cell can
result in leakage or explosion and in turn harm or
even death.

• The Ni-MH batteries supplied with this product may be
able to be recycled once they are unable to recharge
during normal operation. Always observe your local
Council /State regulations regarding the disposal of
your packaging materials, exhausted batteries, and old
equipment.

• Always recycle where possible. Do not use your baby
monitor in an explosive hazard area such as where
there is gas leaking.

• As there is a slight chance that the product could be
damaged by an electrical storm, it is recommended that
users unplug from the mains supply during an electrical
storm.

Cleaning and care

The surface of the case can be cleaned with a dry, soft,
lint-free cloth. Never use cleaning agents, particularly
aggressive solvents. Apart from occasional cleaning of the
case, no other care is necessary.

GETTING STARTED

5 Press [ ] to turn the Parent Unit on.

• Before fi rst use, or if it has been out of use for a long
time, the Parent Unit will need to be charged for 15-16
hours. During this time, the Parent Unit will operate
from the Charger pod when switched on. Note that the
Parent Unit cannot be used without batteries, even if it
is placed in the charger.

For the Baby Unit

1 In the event of a power failure, your Baby Monitor can

switch to battery power. It is therefore recommended that
you insert non-rechargeable batteries in the Baby Unit.

2 Remove the battery cover on the

back of the Baby Unit by switching
the OPEN switch. Insert 3 alkaline
batteries of the type AA (not
provided) as marked on the unit

the Baby Unit and plug the adaptor plug into a mains
power socket.

4 Press [ ] to turn on the Baby Unit.

• The Baby Unit should be placed about 1 metre

adaptor are out of reach of the baby and other
young children. Never place either Unit on antique
or polished surfaces (as slippage or scuffing may
occur). The unit may cause harm if it falls onto baby
or other young children.

Note:

If you place the Parent and Baby units too close together
you will hear a high pitched noise called "feedback", this is
normal. The units are designed to be located in separate
rooms.

To prevent feedback, do not take the parent unit into the

10 BASIC OPERATION

8 lights illuminated fully charged

6 lights illuminated half charged

4 lights illuminated

battery is running
low

Rechargeable batteries in the Parent unit give up to 10
hours continuous usage. Please note however, that new
batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in
normal use for several days.

Running rechargeable batteries right down at least once a
week will help them last as long as possible. The charge
capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as
they age, so reducing the performance time of the parent
unit. Eventually they will need to be replaced.

2 lights illuminated

(alarm beep sounds)

Note:

The parent unit can be used on or off the charger pod.
When on the charger pod, the batteries will be recharged
at the same time. However, the time it takes to charge the
batteries to full will be longer when the unit is charged and
used at the same time.

The Parent Unit can't be operated on the charging cradle
