12. Vibration Source – When the Sensor Pad is in use, DO NOT use a bedside crib, cot mobile or other cot 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.
13. 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 cot. 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 Angelcare logo side facing up. The sensitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Refer to Step 4.3. Always be sure to immediately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds.
14. Sensor Pad – Your Sensor Pad can be used in any cot that is stationary. If the cot has a spring or slat base, place a hard board between the cot base and the Sensor Pad measuring at least 33 x 33 cm and 6 mm thick. Only use your Angelcare® monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a cot where the Sensor Pad can rest on a completely flat, firm surface. 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.
