Testing Your Angelcare

Monitor

Note: Test your Angelcare® monitor BEFORE using it for the first
time and then on a regular basis to make sure that it is functioning
properly.

The Angelcare® monitor can be used outside of the crib in a different
sleeping area. Test your monitor when moving the sensor pad to a new
location to ensure sensitivity is adjusted correctly to the new padding or
mattress. Consult the movement sensitivity adjustment section (step 6).

Switch the parents unit to the “Sound Only” function. Have someone

else speak into the nursery unit or place a radio near the nursery unit.
You should hear sound from the parents unit. If there is no sound, refer
to the Troubleshooting section.

Test your monitor to detect movement. Set the parents unit on the

“Movement only” function. Gently move your hand on the mattress. The
top green light (with pendulum symbol) will flash on the nursery unit
with your every movement. Remove your hand from the mattress. Due
to the lack of movement, a “pre-alarm “Tic” sound will be emitted after
15 seconds and 5 seconds later, the alarm will sound and the green light
on the nursery unit will turn off.

NOTE:

If the alarm does not sound, the Sensor Pad may be detecting a

continuous vibration from the floor, a strong draft or the crib is being touched.
Avoid contact with crib when monitor is in use. Place crib near a solid
supporting wall and away from strong air currents. The sensitivity of the
Sensor Pad may need to be reduced, consult the movement sensitivity
adjustment section.

To stop the alarm, place your hand lightly on the mattress so that the

sensor pad starts detecting movement again. The green light with the
pendulum icon will start flashing again, as movement is detected by the
sensor pad. You may also shut the nursery unit OFF and turn it ON again
to stop the alarm.

Verify that the battery mode is functional by operating both units without

the AC adapters. If the green light on the nursery unit does not light up, the
batteries need to be replaced. If the parents unit doesn’t light up and the
screen does not appear, it needs to be recharged.

Warnings

• This product is

NOT

a medical device designed to prevent cases of

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

• This product is

NOT

a substitute for direct supervision of your baby.

Check your baby’s activities at regular intervals. Monitoring of
premature babies, or those considered to be at risk, should be carried
out only under the supervision of a doctor or health professional.

•

DO NOT

put the parents unit near wireless devices or a microwave

oven. Such devices can disrupt the transmission of the alarm signal.

• The sensor pad may detect movement from many sources from both

inside and outside your baby’s room, coming for example from fans, a
washing machine, loud music, etc. Make sure that all vibration
sources are eliminated before using the Angelcare® monitor. Avoid
contact with crib when monitor is in use. Refer to the Movement
Sensitivity Adjustment (step 6) and Troubleshooting sections.

•

ALWAYS

place both units on a flat surface in the upright position,

away from baby’s reach.

• Make sure to plug the adapter to the socket outlet nearest to the

equipment and that is easily accessible.

• Possible entanglement or strangulation injury. Keep all cord out of

baby’s reach.

•

DO NOT

touch the end of the adapter cord when it is plugged into an

electrical outlet.

• The Angelcare® monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals. The

parents unit may pick up signals or interference from other nursery
monitors in your area. Your monitor may even be picked up by other

households. To protect your privacy, make sure both units are in the
OFF position when not in use.

•

When monitor is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or other crib

accessories that produce vibrations. The alarm will not sound as
the monitor will still be detecting movement.

•

The Angelcare

monitor is perfectly safe. The sensor pad and its

cord is entirely passive. They carry no electrical current and do
not radiate any form of energy. The nursery unit emits only very
low power radio signals through its antenna. These signals do not
present a safety hazard.

• Your monitor can be used in any crib or sleeping area (that has no

motion or vibration) designed to safely hold a baby.

• To monitor

twins

You will need two Angelcare® AC401 Movement & Sound Monitors.
Make sure that each monitor is set to a different channel. You will need
to use both parents units (one for each crib).

Do not use the Angelcare® monitor if both babies are placed in
one crib or bassinet.

• This product should be serviced by qualified personnel. There are no

user serviceable parts inside the monitor. Refer all service questions
to your distributor.

Maintenance of your Angelcare® monitor

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS:

Keep the user’s manual for future reference.

WATER, MOISTURE AND HEAT DAMAGE

: Keep all components away

from water (sink, bath tub, swimming pool) and places that emit heat
(stove, radiator).

VENTILATION: ALWAYS

place both units on a flat surface in the upright

position so that air can flow freely around them. The sensor pad is made
of plastic and does not permit the air to circulate. Therefore, mildew
build up could develop underneath the mattress in the sensor pad area.
We suggest rotating the mattress regularly to prevent any mildew.

AC POWER SOURCE:

Use only the AC adapters supplied with the

Angelcare® monitor.

CORD PROTECTION:

Avoid damage to the cords of the sensor pad and

adapters. Route cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them.

CLEANING:

Disconnect all units before cleaning.

DO NOT

immerse in

water. Use a dry cloth to keep monitor free from dust.
