WARNINGS

1. WARNING

   • KEEP the Nursery unit out of the reach of children more than 3 feet or 1 meter away.
   • This product is NOT a Toy. NEVER allow children to play with it.

2. WARNING – MOVEMENT SENSOR PAD – NO ALARM

   • Sources of vibration & movement, other than your baby’s, can be detected by the Sensor Pad and interfere with the performance of your Angelcare monitor.
   • The alarm will not sound if it detects movement other than your baby’s.
   • High sensitivity settings can pick up other sources of vibration & movement – please read instructions on sensitivity setting to adjust accordingly.
   • Other active and older babies (toddlers) in the same room can be detected and the alarm will not sound.
   • Ensure the baby’s environment is FREE from any movements or vibrations when using the Sensor Pad – see below warnings 3 to 11.

3. DO NOT use a crib mobile and other crib accessories that may produce movements or vibrations.

4. Fans (including ceiling), washing machines, floor boards, central heating or loud music are all forms of movement and vibration and may interfere and be detected by the Sensor Pad.

5. If an additional Nursery Unit is added then it must be positioned at least 6.5 feet (2 metres) minimum from Nursery Unit 1 and Sensor Pad as this could interfere with performance.

6. DO NOT use with bedside crib touching parent’s/ carer’s bed as the Sensor Pad will detect your movements.

7. DO NOT place the crib against a wall or skirting board as vibrations may be detected.

8. Following removal of baby from the crib, some mattresses may still detect mattress movement due to it forming back into shape and alarm may not sound.

9. Ensure crib is stable to eliminate any movement.

10. Crib should not be placed in reaching distance of another crib or bed.

11. DO NOT use other wireless devices in the same room as the monitor (including mobile phones, microwaves…). They may interfere with signal and performance.

12. The Sensor Pad is made of plastic and does not permit air to circulate. Therefore, mildew build up could develop underneath the mattress in the Sensor Pad area.
    We suggest rotating & airing /drying the mattress regularly to prevent any mildew. AVOID CONTACT WITH MOISTURE. Clean – wipe with a dry lint free cloth.

13. The Sensor Pad is not suitable for use above age 24 months.

14. This product cannot replace responsible adult supervision.

    • This product is designed to aid in the monitoring of your child. When using the monitor, you must still provide the supervision necessary for the continued safety of your child.
    • Use this appliance ONLY for its intended use as described in this manual.

15. The Sensor Pad is not intended to be used to determine if a child is out of the crib.

16. ALWAYS be sure to immediately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds.

17. Adult assembly required. Keep small parts away from children when assembling.

18. Follow instructions and test this monitor and its functions so you are familiar with it prior to actual use. ALWAYS be sure that both the transmitter and receiver are working properly and are within range of each other – check periodically and when changing location of the Nursery Unit.

19. DO NOT use the baby monitor near water Care should be taken so that objects DO NOT fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or Sensor Pad through its openings.

SET UP REQUIREMENTS

WHAT’S IN THE BOX

1. Nursery Unit
2. 2 x 1.5V AAA batteries (for Nursery Unit)
3. Stand (for Nursery Unit)
4. Sensor Pad
5. CR2450 3V Battery (for Sensor Pad)

WHAT YOU NEED

• Hardboard, if the crib does not have a firm surface (see ‘IMPORTANT’ note – Step 1)
• Posidrive screwdriver

SETTING UP THE SENSOR PAD

The Sensor Pad is designed to detect subtle baby movements on the surface of the mattress.The alarm will only sound if NO movement is detected for 20 seconds.

1. Use a coin to remove/replace the battery cover and insert the battery face with + face up.
2. Replace the battery cover, align 2 dots and click to secure.
3. Remove the mattress from the cot, place Sensor Pad – Angelcare® logo side up – on base in approximate centre of mattress, along the length. It should be centred on the hardboard if your cot requires a hardboard support (see ‘IMPORTANT’ note below).
4. Replace the mattress.

IMPORTANT

• If your crib does not have a solid, stationary, completely flat, firm surface including a spring or slat base, place a hardboard between the crib base and the Sensor Pad, to ensure correct operation. The hardboard support must measure at least 30 x 30 cm (12” x 12”) and 6 mm (1/4”) thick. This hardboard support must be larger than the Sensor Pad surface area.
• The Sensor Pad functions with standard crib sprung and foam mattresses and not memory foam (partial or full), hollow frame construction mattresses and water beds. Please consult Angelcare if unsure of mattress compatibility. The hardboard maintains a constant pressure on the Sensor Pad, enabling it to detect the baby’s movements even when the baby is at the edges of the crib.

SETTING UP THE NURSERY UNIT

TURNING ON YOUR MONITOR

The Movement Sensor Pad alarm will sound after a few seconds if the child is not in the crib.

Note:

• The Nursery Unit will flash blue to confirm pairing with the Sensor Pad.
• If the green light does not appear but the red light is flashing; or if there are false alarms, adjust the sensitivity level (STEP 3, TEST THE SENSOR PAD).

PAUSING AND RESTARTING THE SENSOR PAD

• Allows you to pause the Sensor Pad if you remove baby from the crib, e.g. for feeding or comforting. Ensure to un-pause the Sensor Pad before putting baby in the crib.

TEST THE SENSOR PAD

1. Sources of vibration & movement other than your baby’s can be detected by the Sensor Pad and interfere with the performance of your Angelcare monitor. The alarm will not sound if it detects movement other than your baby’s.
2. There are 3 sensitivity settings – low, medium and high. The unit is set at medium (default) and can be adjusted accordingly.
3. The Sensor Pad will detect false movements if you are touching the crib.
4. The monitor will produce a Rouse alarm single beep tone designed to stir baby if no movement has been detected for 15 seconds. If no further movement is detected, the main alarm will sound at 20 seconds – a series of continuous beeps.

SENSOR PAD FOUR CORNER TEST

1. Place the Sensor Pad at the approximate centre of baby’s sleeping area and put the mattress back in place.
2. Switch ON the Nursery Unit – check that Nursery Unit and Sensor Pad units are paired (connected).
3. Immediately pat your hand lightly and continuously on a corner of the mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement.
4. Step away from the crib.
5. The alarm will sound from the Nursery and Parent Unit after 20 seconds. If the Alarm does not sound , ensure everything is setup correctly and try again; check battery levels on all units, follow the manual for ‘NO ALARMS’ – the sensitivity setting may require lowering by a single level due to other vibrations/movements.
6. If the alarm sounds, pat your hand lightly on a corner of mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement. It may take up to 8 seconds to recognise movement and for alarm to stop.
7. If the alarm continues, even after lightly patting the corner of your mattress twice, adjust the sensitivity higher and repeat this test.

IMPORTANT

• Test your monitor before first use.
• Prior to use and on a regular basis (before placing your child in the crib) always check the Sensor Pad is detecting no movements or vibrations in its environment.
• Test your monitor every time you move the Sensor Pad to a different place.
