SETTING UP THE PARENT UNIT

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.
   

4. Replace the mattress.
   

IMPORTANT

• If your cot does not have a solid, stationary, completely flat, firm surface including a spring or slat base, place a hardboard between the cot base and the Sensor Pad, to ensure correct operation. The hardboard support must measure at least 30 x 30 cm and 6 mm thick. This hardboard support must be larger than the Sensor Pad surface area.
• The Sensor Pad functions with standard cot 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 cot.

SETTING UP THE NURSERY UNIT

Sensor Pad

Place the Nursery
Unit and Adaptor cord at least  1 metre  from the cot.

1. Wall-Mounted (The mounting height of the Nursery Unit should be less than 2 metres.)
2. Tabletop
   

WALL-MOUNTED

NOTE: Before fixing to the wall, review both wall mounted options to achieve best view for you.
Option 1 – Close viewing range (Guide 1.0 to 1.5 meters – wall to cot)

Option 2 – Further viewing range (Guide 1.5 meters or more – wall to cot)

TABLETOP

TURNING ON YOUR MONITOR

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

NURSERY UNIT

PARENT UNIT

Note:

• Your Nursery Unit and Parent Unit come pre-paired.
• Each time you power ON your Nursery Unit, the internal thermometer will need to calibrate to ensure accuracy. This automatic process will take approximately 30 minutes.

PAUSING AND RESTARTING THE SENSOR PAD

• Allows you to pause the Sensor Pad if you remove baby from the cot, e.g. for feeding or comforting. The button has a soft light so easily seen. Ensure to un-pause the Sensor Pad before putting baby in the cot.

NURSERY UNIT

PARENT UNIT

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 4 sensitivity settings. The unit is set at level 3 (default) and can be adjusted accordingly.
3. The Sensor Pad will detect false movements if you are touching the cot.
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 both Nursery & Parent Units- check both units are paired (connected).

3. Immediately pat your hand lightly and continuously on a corner of the mattress twice for Sensor to detect movement. If movement is detected you will hear a TIC sound every 5 seconds and PU will flash green for a single sensor pad.

4. Step away from the cot.

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 recognize 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 cot) 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.
