BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the parent unit.
2. Insert 2 AAA rechargeable batteries (included).
Make sure batteries align properly to the correct
positive “+” and negative “-” polarity marked in the battery compartment.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover.
• Check the reception regularly.
• Certain electronic devices are sensitive to magnetic
fields and may be damaged permanently or temporarily
disabled if exposed to a magnetic field that is too strong.
• To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the
adapter "brick." DO NOT pull on the cord, as this could damage it.
• The LEDs emit IR (infra red) light that is not harmful.
This monitor is not intended to be used as a medical monitor and
its use should not replace proper adult supervision. You should
check your child’s activity at regular intervals as this monitor will
not alert parents to the silent activities of a child.
CAUTION!
For indoor use only. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,
do not expose this product to water or moisture. NEVER attempt
to disassemble the product. This is dangerous and will void
the warranty.
WARNING!
It is essential to check reception regularly.
Please see Use and Care section.
VENTILATION: The Monitor should not be situated on a bed,
sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings, or placed in an enclosed installation, such as a
book case or cabinet that may impede the flow of air
through the ventilation openings.
• Position the Transmitter, Receiver and AC adapters to
allow adequate ventilation and prevent these components
from overheating.
HEAT: The Monitor should be situated away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances that produce heat. Also keep these components
out of direct sunlight.
POWER SOURCE: The Monitor should be connected to
a power supply only of the type described in these operating
instructions.
POWER CORD PROTECTION: The power supply cord should
be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against it. Pay particular attention to
the cord at the plug, convenience receptacle, and at the
point it exits from the Monitor. NOTE: Do not place adapter
under a window where a child might use it to step
on and reach something that might be dangerous.
• Check to make sure outlet plates are not unusually hot to
the touch. If they are, immediately unplug cords from
these outlets. Check that all outlet connections are in good
condition so that adapter is not loose or that no wiring is
exposed. Have a qualified, licensed electrician check the
wiring as soon as possible.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall onto, and liquids are not spilled into the
enclosure through the openings.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE: The Monitor should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled
into the product; or
C. The Monitor has been exposed to rain; or
D. The Monitor does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in its performance; or
E. The Monitor has been dropped or the
enclosure damaged.
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.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT – CHECK RECEPTION:
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 don’t 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”.
