Give the programmed phone num-
ber/numbers a name/names: AA and
BB (upper or lower case, but do use
"AA"!).
There should be no other entries in your telephone
book which start with AA, Aa, aA, BB, Bb or bB!
In the event of an alarm, these are phoned in the
above order (e.g. if only one number has been
programmed ("AA"), only that number will be
called). Insert the SIM card in the Birth Alarm.
In the event of an alarm and no
response being received, the Birth
Alarm will be stopped automatically in
± 10 minutes, i.e., after trying the pro-
grammed numbers 8 times in sequence.
See the instruction manual for how to stop the
alarm before this time has elapsed.
Once the numbers have been programmed on the
SIM card, remove the card from your GSM phone
and place it in the Birth Alarm transmitter. To do so,
remove the cover on the transmitter and insert the
SIM card in the card holder as follows. Slide open
the clip, then insert the SIM card in the holder (cop-
per-coloured side down).
Close the clip, then push the slide in the direction
of the arrow (LOCK). Insert the 9-Volt battery sup-
plied in the transmitter.
Use only a new, non-rechargeable
Duracell battery.
Safety precaution: insert a new battery
after each foaling/birth!
Replace the cover and set up the transmitter cor-
rectly (horizontal), otherwise the alarm will go off.
Assembling the transmitter (on the anti-
roll bar)
Pull the three (or five if required) tie clips through
the gaps in the transmitter section. Make sure the
ribbed side of the tie clips is on the inside. You can
feel them with your hand.
Make sure that the closing system on the tie clip is

not on top of the rolling bar. In doing this you can
prevent the tie clip from being damaged, for exam-
ple when the mare rolls over. Cut or snip off the
loose ends of the tie clips leaving 0.5cm.
Test the Birth Alarm GSM now for a proper oper-
ation (see testing the Birth Alarm GSM, page...)
Place the transmitter upright on the anti-roll bar.
The flat base of the transmitter MUST BE COM-
PLETELY horizontal.
Attach the two hose clamps only around the anti-
roll bar of the girth, in such a way that they are
pressed right up against the two lowest tie clips. If
this is done the transmitter will be firmly attached
and it can no longer shift out of position.
Undo the 10 cross-head screws at the front of the
transmitter case. Attach the 9V battery which is
included, and press it firmly onto the battery con-
tact clip to ensure a good connection. Then tight-
en the screws again and make sure the packing
on the lid is in place. If assembled properly, the
transmitter is now watertight.
The transmitter is now ready for use.
Tip:
Also program the number(s) on the Birth Alarm
transmitter to which the alarm should be sent in
your own GSM phone and give them a clear
name such as "Alarm". If the alarm is triggered, it
will be clear on your screen that this has hap-
pened. This also makes it easier to ring back and
cancel the alarm.
Your Birth Alarm GSM is now ready for use.
Setting the transmitter
There is a black rubber button and a red LED on
the back of the Birth Alarm transmitter. If you press
the button briefly, the LED will flash 2 or 3 times.
-
If the LED flashes once, the Birth Alarm mode
is set for normal foaling (status 4a – see
Birth Alarm manual).
-
If the LED flashes 3 times, the Birth Alarm is set
to horizontal foaling mode (status 4b – see
