OPERATION

• Baby Unit

  • For as long as the baby is sleeping and the baby unit is not picking up any sound, no signal is transmitted to the parent unit nor will the parent unit emit any sound.
  • As soon as the baby starts making sound and the level of this sound exceeds the VOX sensitivity you have set, the baby unit will starts transmitting the sound to the parent unit.
  • For as long as the baby is making sound, the baby unit will keep sending this sound to the parent unit. However because of legal requirements, transmitters on this frequency may not transmit longer than 3 minutes continuously. This is why the Baby unit takes a 5 seconds pause after 3 minutes of continuous transmissions and will then start transmitting again.

• Parent unit

  • When the Parent unit is receiving the signal from the Baby unit, the speaker is enabled and you will be able to hear the baby sounds.
  • If the Parent unit is set to monitor multiple baby units, the parent unit switches be-tween baby unit every second. The is indicated in the display by the alternating icons
  • When one of the babies starts making sound, the parent unit stops alternation between baby units. The parent unit will now let you listen to the noise-making baby continuously.

• Auto monitor
  If you have enabled the ‘Auto Monitor’ function at the baby unit(s), the microphone of the baby unit switches on every 5 minutes for 10 seconds long, also when the baby is sleeping quietly. This gives you an extra assurance that your baby is still sleeping peacefully.

• Connection check
  Each minute the baby unit sends a connection check in the background to the par-ent unit. You cannot hear this signal, but you can verify that the baby unit sends this signal because ‘TX’ will be briefl y illuminated in the upper left corner of the baby unit’s display. The parent unit receives this signal to verify whether that baby unit is enabled and still within range. If the parent unit does not receive this check signal for 3 minutes, the parent unit starts emitting 2 short alert beeps every minute while the icon starts fl ashing on the display of the parent unit.

• When using 2 or 3 baby units:

  • If for example the connection with baby unit 2 is lost, the following starts alternating in the below part of the display:
    remains lit / flashes

  • If you have selected the value OFF for the option during the setup of the Parent unit (i.e. no connection check), the Baby unit will still transmit the check signal every minute, but the parent unit will not indicate that the signal is being received.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubleshooting

Doesn’t work| •            The batteries of the parent unit are exhausted, recharge or replace it.

•            The baby unit is not (properly) connected to a wall socketor the wall socket isn’t live, check

this.

Poor or no reception| •            The channel setting or sub code set incorrectly (the sender and receiver must be set to the same channel, with the same sub code)

•            The distance between the baby unit and par-

ent unit is too large, decrease the distance

White noise or other noises| •            Another sender is present, change the channel

•            Interference from other devices, switch the other devices off (if possible)

High whistle| •            The parent unit is too close to the baby unit or the volume of the parent unit is set too high, increase the distance or lower the volume

• Always first check whether the Luvion® Icon Long Range is functioning on a different location.
• If the problem isn’t solved, first remove the Baby unit from the wall socket and then re-move the batteries from the Parent unit. Reconnect everything after a minute.
