It is VERY IMPORTANT to test the system when first set up, and at regular times thereafter. Test the units if you

suspect 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 Units 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 the Nursery Unit and the Parent Units to the other channel setting.

• Some units come equipped with a Parent Finder feature. This feature will allow you to locate a misplaced Parent Unit as

long as the Parent Unit is powered on and within range of the Nursery Unit.

• To activate, press the “PF” button on the side of the Nursery Unit (the Nursery Unit needs to be ON).

• The Parent Unit will generate an audible beep every second and the soundlights will flash on and off.

• Once the Parent Unit is located, the audible beep can be shut-off by pressing any button on the Parent Unit.

Most problems have a simple solution. First, check that:

• Power is turned ON for both units

• Both units are plugged in (or batteries are fresh in Nursery

Unit and fully charged in Parent Unit)

• Electrical outlet works

• Volume is turned up on Parent Unit

• Parent Unit is in range of the Nursery Unit

No Sound

• Battery dead or weak — replace or use AC adapter.

• AC adapter not properly connected — check the connections.
• Nursery Unit covered or blocked — remove the obstruction.

Weak Sound

• Nursery Unit too far from baby — move closer.

• Large objects blocking the signal — try repositioning Nursery Unit.

• Volume setting too low — turn it up.

Testing the System

Operation

To Listen To Baby

• Turn on Nursery Unit using the ON/OFF switch.

• Turn on one or both Parent Units using the ON/OFF switch.

• Adjust the volume on the Parent Unit by pressing the Volume Up/Down buttons. Note that the Sound Lights LEDs

illuminate as the volume button is pressed up or down to provide a visual feedback for the volume level. The unit will beep
louder or softer depending on the volume level.

• The Sound Lights on the Parent Unit will illuminate as your child (or other objects) make noise near the Nursery Unit. Please

note that the Sound Lights and volume control on the Parent Unit are independent of each other. With the volume turned all
the way down, the Sound Lights will still illuminate as your child (or other objects) make noise near the Nursery Unit.

• Interference from other electrical equipment —

eliminate cause of static (TVs, mixers, computers, fans,
fluorescent lights, light dimmers, etc.)

and Nursery Unit such as walls, ceilings & buildings.
Try moving the Nursery Unit to another part of the
room.

• Change channel on Nursery Unit.

Shrill Sound (Feedback)

• Nursery Unit and Parent Unit too close together —

move them farther apart.
