Using Your Monitor DO NOT PLACE UNITS IN CRIB OR MOUNT ON CRIB. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. AC ADAPTER The Parent Unit operates on household electricity with the AC Adapter or with 2 AAA rechargeable batteries (included). The Baby Unit operates on household electricity with the AC Adapter only. The Parent Unit will automatically convert to AC operation when used with the AC Adapter. It is not necessary to remove the battery during AC operation. The Parent Unit will automatically switch back to battery power when plug is disconnected from the AC Adapter. The AC Adapter should be used whenever possible on the Parent Unit to save battery life. This is done by inserting the AC Adapter into the AC Adapter jack. Then simply plug the AC Adapter into a nearby standard household outlet
(120V AC outlet). The AC Adapters may become slightly warm to the touch during operation. This is normal. This AC Adapter is a low voltage power source which allows you to use your household electricity to run the Baby and Parent Units when it connects to the AC Adapter jack in the Parent Unit and in the Baby Unit, and plugs into any standard electrical outlet in your home. To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the adapter "brick."
DO NOT pull on the cord, as this could damage it. CAUTION: This AC Adapter was made with a specific design for the Safety 1st Monitor. It cannot be used with any other appliance, and never use a different type of adapter with this Monitor. Parent Unit (Receiver):
POWER INDICATOR The power indicator is a green LED that indicates that the unit is on and functioning. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR Low battery power is indicated by the blinking red LED, which signals when the batteries needs to be replaced. When batteries are charging, LED appears solid red. LINK INDICATOR - OUT OF RANGE The link/out of range indicator is a blinking green LED, which means contact is lost between the Baby and Parent Units. Static noise will be heard if both units are too far apart. SOUND LIGHTS As babys voice gets louder, the sound light red LEDs will illuminate from bottom to top. Low sound is one LED illuminated and rises incrementally as babys noise level increases until all 3 LEDs are illuminated. SPEAKER The speaker picks up sounds from the Baby Units microphone. The speaker will continuously beep as a warning signal when contact is lost between the Baby and Parent Units. The speaker will emit short beeps as a warning signal when rechargeable batteries are low. The short beeps will stop when batteries are recharging. POWER ON/OFF BUTTON Press and hold down the Power On/Off Button to turn Parent Unit on. To turn off Parent Unit, hold down Power On/Off Button again. VOLUME (+/-) BUTTONS Volume can be easily adjusted to any desired listening level by pressing the + and -
Volume Buttons, so you can be sure to hear your baby at all times. The sounds are transmitted through the wide range speaker. It is essential to check reception regularly. Refer to Use and Care section. VOX SWITCH (Background Noise Elimination) Slide VOX switch to the On position. The Baby Unit will operate in voice activated mode (also known as background noise elimination), which means the speaker will only turn on when it picks up higher level sounds from the Baby Units microphone. Slide VOX switch to the Off position to turn off background noise elimination mode. CARRY LOOP The Carry Loop is convenient for portability. Using a carabineer through the carry loop, you can clip the Parent Unit to your belt loop after rechargeable batteries have been installed. Baby Unit (Transmitter):
PROPER POSITIONING IMPORTANT: When choosing locations to set up the Baby Unit and Parent Unit, follow these guidelines:
For best sound quality, place Baby Unit 6 feet (2 meters) away from the baby.
Adjust volume (+/-) buttons on Parent Unit to appropriate level to minimize feedback.
During use of the monitor, sound quality deteriorates as you reach the limits of the monitor's range. If this happens, you will need to move the Parent Unit in closer proximity to the Baby Unit.
Adjust the volume to a comfortable level for your environment. POWER INDICATOR The power indicator is a green LED that indicates that the unit is on and functioning. LINK INDICATOR - OUT OF RANGE The link/out of range indicator is a blinking green LED, which means contact is lost between the Baby and Parent Units. POWER ON/OFF BUTTON Press and hold down the Power On/Off Button to turn Baby Unit on. To turn off Baby Unit, hold down Power On/Off Button again. MICROPHONE The microphone transmits sounds to the speaker on the Parent Unit. PAGER BUTTON The Pager Button is helpful to locate a misplaced Parent Unit. With the Baby Unit on, press the pager button on the Baby Unit. Any button press on the parent unit will turn off pager beeper. NOTE: The Parent Unit will only beep if it is powered on. Use household electricity whenever possible. When the AC Adapter is used with your household electricity, you will find that the power is stronger and more consistent than when you rely solely on the battery. Range and sound quality also depends on the construction of your house. Steel reinforced wall, for example, reduces the effective range of the monitor. Conserve the battery so you will have power when you dont have easy access to AC outlets. When not using the Unit, remove AC Adapter and be sure the power button is OFF. When you are not using the AC Adapter, remove it from the Unit and store it in a safe, dry place until you need it again. If the AC Adapter is plugged into the Parent Unit but not being used in an electrical outlet, the AC Adapter will prevent battery operation of the Unit. When using the AC Adapter with household electricity, make sure the outlet is ON. Some electrical outlets are powered through a switch in the room. If the Baby Unit is plugged in and turned ON, the power indicator light should be lit. If it is not, try turning the light switch in the room ON. Use and Care IMPORTANT CHECK RECEPTION:
The first time you use your monitoring system, two adults should test it in the following way:
Place Parent Unit at least 20 ft. (6m) away from Baby Unit.
Have an adult speak into Baby Unit at various levels (soft to loud) while another adult checks Parent Unit for the proper sound reception. Try Parent Unit in every location that it will be used. Care and Cleaning:
Use a soft, dry cloth to keep your monitor free from dust. DO NOT immerse product in water. Troubleshooting IF YOU ARE STILL HAVING PROBLEMS, PLEASE CALL TOLL FREE FOR HELP! (800) 544-1108.
