• Follow all instructions – All operating and use instructions should be followed.
• Water and moisture – DO NOT use this apparatus near water. For example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet environment or near a swimming pool and the like. Care should be taken so that objects DO NOT fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or Sensor Pad through its openings.
• Cleaning – Disconnect all units before cleaning. DO NOT immerse in water any part of the monitor. Clean only with dry cloth.
• Ventilation – DO NOT block any ventilation openings. Allow for proper ventilation when units are in use. DO NOT cover the Nursery Unit with any object such as a blanket. DO NOT place it in a drawer or in any location which would muffle the sound or interfere with the normal flow of air.
• Heat sources – DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, TVs or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Heat can damage the case or electrical parts.
• Accessories – Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. DO NOT place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the product. Use ONLY with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Servicing – DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers (except battery door) may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
• Replacement parts – When replacement parts are required, be sure the replacement parts specified by the manufacturer have the same characteristic as the original part. Unauthorized substitution may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

• Object and Liquid Entry – NEVER push objects of any kind into this product through casing slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a risk of fire or electric shock. NEVER spill liquid of any kind on the product.
• Vibration Source – When the monitor is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or other crib accessories that may produce vibrations. Other sources of vibrations may include fans, washing machines, loud music, etc. These sources of vibration may interfere with the performance of your Angelcare® monitor and the alarm will not sound if it continues to detect any movement other than your baby’s. Be sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor. You may experience false alarms for several reasons. The most common reason is the Nursery Unit has not been turned OFF after you have removed your baby from the crib. Another reason is the Sensor Pad has not been placed under the mattress properly. Be sure the Sensor Pad is on a flat, firm surface with the Angelcare® logo side facing up. The sensitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Refer to Step 4.
• Always be sure to immediately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds.
• Sensor Pad – Your Sensor Pad can be used in any crib that is stationary. If the crib has a spring or slat base, place a hard board between the crib base and the Sensor Pad measuring at least 13’’ x 13’’ (33 x 33 cm) and 1/4’’ (6 mm) thick. Only use your Angelcare® monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a crib where the Sensor Pad can rest on a completely flat, firm surface. 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.
• IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO USE OF BATTERIES
• Use ONLY the type and size of battery specified in the owner’s manual. There is a risk of explosion if battery is replaced with an incorrect type.
• DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in the Nursery Unit. Use alkaline batteries ONLY.
• DO NOT dispose batteries in fire. They may explode. Check with local regulations for possible special disposal instructions.
• Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short out the batteries with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation, or incineration of batteries must be avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen, gas and rise in surface temperature.
• DO NOT attempt to rejuvenate the battery provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of battery electrolyte may occur, causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.
• If and when necessary, the battery must be replaced with identical new ones or equivalent (volts and size).

INSTALL THE SENSOR PAD ON THE MATTRESS SUPPORT

IMPORTANT

If your crib does not have a solid, stable surface for the Sensor Pad, you will need to place a support under it, to ensure correct operation of the system. This hardboard support should be at least 1/4’’ (6 mm) thick and should have minimum dimensions of 13’’ x 13’’ (33 x 33 cm). This support board must be larger than the Sensor Pad surface area. The Sensor Pad functions with any size and type of mattress except memory-foam mattresses, hollow frame mattresses and water beds. The hardboard maintains a constant pressure on the Sensor Pad, enabling it to detect the baby’s movements even when the baby is at the edges of the crib.

• Remove the mattress from the crib.
• Place the Sensor Pad – Angelcare® logo side up – in the center of the mattress. It should be centered on the hardboard if your crib requires a hardboard support.
