Sound level lights
The parent unit continuously monitors the sound level in your baby´s room and the sound level
lights let you know if there is any activity. If your baby cries, you see the sound level lights light up on
the parent unit.
- As long as the baby unit does not detect a sound, all sound level lights on the parent unit are out.
- When the baby unit picks up a sound, one or more sound level lights on the parent unit go on.
The number of lights that go on is related to the loudness of the sound picked up by the
baby unit.
