SETTING UP
THE MONITOR
1. Check that both Nursery Unit
and Parent’s Unit are set to the
same channel.
2. Place the Nursery Unit within 10
feet (2-3 meters) of your baby. Plug
an AC adapter into the jack on the
side of the Nursery Unit. Plug it into
a working 120 volt AC outlet.
3. Aim the Nursery Unit toward
your baby. Check that there are
no walls or large objects that
could block sound transmission.
Do not place the
Nursery Unit or AC adapter cord
within your child’s reach. DO NOT
place Nursery Unit inside a crib or
play yard.
4. Turn on the Nursery Unit using
the ON/OFF switch on the left
side. The red power light should
come on.
5. Install a nine volt battery into the
Parent’s Unit, or plug it into a
working 120 volt AC outlet using
the other AC adapter.
6. Turn on the Parent’s Unit using
the volume control dial on the
right side. The red power light
should come on.
TESTING THE UNITS
It is VERY IMPORTANT to test the
system when first set up, and at regular
times thereafter. Test the units any time
they may have been damaged or have
not been used for a long time.
1. If two adults are present, have one
take the Parent’s Unit to different
locations, trying various volume
settings, while the other speaks
into the Nursery Unit.
2. If only one adult is available,
place a ticking clock, radio, or
other sound-producing device
near the Nursery Unit to test it.
3. When testing, keep the level of
your child’s sounds in mind, and
adjust the volume accordingly.
4. If there is sound interference,
switch both the Nursery Unit and
the Parent’s Unit to the other
channel setting.
Most problems have a simple solution. First, check that:
!
Power is turned ON for both units
! Both units are plugged in (or battery is fresh in Parent’s Unit)
! Electrical outlet works
! Units are set to same channel
! Volume is turned up on Parent’s Unit
! Parent’s Unit is in range of the Nursery Unit
If necessary, try the following ideas:
Solving Problems
NO SOUND:
Battery dead or weak—replace or use AC adapter.
Channel settings do not match—set both units to same channel.
AC adapter not properly connected—check the connections.
Nursery Unit covered or blocked—remove the obstruction.
WEAK SOUND:
Parent’s Unit too far from Nursery Unit—move closer.
Large objects blocking the signal—try repositioning Nursery Unit.
Check that antennas are vertical and are not touched by other objects.
Volume setting too low—turn it up.
STATIC:
Interference from other electrical equipment—eliminate cause of static
(TVs, mixers, computers, fans, fluorescent lights, light dimmers, etc.)
Parent’s Unit too far from Nursery Unit—move them closer.
Channel settings do not match—set both units to same channel.
Try other channel on both Parent’s Unit and Nursery unit.
SHRILL NOISE (FEEDBACK):
Nursery Unit and Parent’s Unit too close together—move them farther apart.
Volume set too high—lower the volume.
