range will be shown as - - on the icon screen. Temperature sensor Ventilation Hole In case there is a sudden big temperature change (e.g. you bring out the unit from indoor to outdoor during winter time), the sensor may need to take a few minutes before it can settle to the new environment and show the correct reading on the icon screen. 12 babyleaf Freedom of baby care Movement Sensor Mat 1. Place the movement sensor mat underneath the mattress, lengthwise direction and directly under where your baby sleeps. For optimum performance, there should be no bedclothes tucked between the sensor mat and the mattress. Besides, if the mattress support is too soft (such as box spring or underpadding), a hard board is required to be placed underneath the mat to provide a firm surface for it. The size of the board should be larger than the sensor mat. Mattress 2. With the baby placed in crib, switch on sensor mat by turning the movement sensitivity knob 20 in clockwise direction. Adjust the position of knob 20 such that the movement indicator 19 will blink in pace with the breathing movement of baby. Slip the control box underneath the mattress to keep out of reach of baby and place it as far away from the senor mat as possible. According to the change in weight as baby grows, it may be necessary to adjust the sensitivity setting of knob 20 again. In case the sensitivity setting is not appropriate, the movement indicator 19 will always stay ON or OFF and false alarm may occur. N.B. Before attempting to adjust the knob 20 , wait for at least 15 -20 min until the baby has settled down or fallen asleep. 13 babyleaf Freedom of baby care 3. For environment with continuous vibration from the floor, the sensor mat may has false detection and delay or prevent the alarm from sounding. Under such circumstance, move the crib to the corner of the room or near a solid supporting wall. Moreover, keep the crib away from strong draft and air current. 4. Besure the BU and sensor mat is within the same room or apart from each other not more than a distance of 10m, otherwise they may lost connection with each other and breathing movement of baby cannot be monitored.

Press button 13 to confirm. 16 babyleaf Freedom of baby care Feeding timer This function acts like a timer and remind parents of the next feeding time. The period to next feeding time can be set from 1 hour to 8 hours in 0.5 hour step. Once the set period has elapsed, an alarm will be heard and flashing in icon screen. In case OFF is selected, no timer is set. Use the buttons 15 16 to select, press button 13 to confirm. Breathing alert This feature is useful when the BU is paired to a movement sensor mat. Use the buttons 15 16 to select between ON or OFF, press button 13 to confirm. ON The PU will monitor the breathing movement of baby and will show up on icon screen. In case there is no movement for over 20 sec, it will provide an alarm and starts flashing to alert parents. Moreover, the PU will provide an alarm in case sensor mat battery is low ( show flashing on icon screen) or sensor mat is out of range from BU ( and show flashing on icon screen). OFF The PU will stop monitoring the movement of baby ( will not show up on icon screen ). This is useful to avoid false alarm in case the parents need to take out the baby from crib for feeding or other purpose. Under such mode, the PU also will not provide an alarm in case the sensor mat battery level is low or the sensor mat is out of range from BU. 17 babyleaf Freedom of baby care 5. Place the PU at a reasonable distance away from BU to avoid feedback. Too close a distance will create a screeching sound at the speaker 12. 6. Once the PU receives a signal, the icon screen will light up and depending the signal is coming from which BU, the corresponding baby unit no. will show up together with other information (room temperature, battery level, starry night projector status) of that BU. N.B. In case the PU is paired to only one BU, the icon screen will not show the baby unit no. 7. The speaker 12 volume can be adjusted using the buttons 15 16.The temperature reading also change correspondingly during adjustment to show the level ( 1 to 5) being selected. When the level is set to minimum and the show up on icon screen, the speaker 12 is totally muted. Under such circum-

stances, the parents can still monitor the baby activities by looking at the sound level meter. 8. If the PU is paired to work with two BUs, BU no. 1 always has top priority. This means while the unit is listening to signal from BU no. 2, in case BU no. 1 starts transmitting, PU will immediately switch listening to BU no.1 until it stops to transmit, then it will switch back to listen to BU no.2. 9. To avoid parent missing the attendance to BU no.2, while PU is listening to signal from BU no.1, in case BU no. 2 starts to transmit, 2 will show flashing on icon screen to alert parent. If parent prefers to listen to BU no. 2, he can short press button 13 and PU switches listening to BU no.2 while 1 go flashing (if BU no. 1 still transmitting). Further press of button 13 will switch back to BU no. 1 again. Under such arrangement, the parent is able to monitor both babies. 10. Under standby mode, the PU will alternately scan between the two BUs for activities. When either one of the BU starts to transmit, the PU will immediately listen to that BU and the icon screen will only show information from it until the signal goes off. 18 babyleaf Freedom of baby care
