Check Regularly - GSM BIRTH ALARM Notice D'utilisation

Birth Alarm manual).
To change modes 4a and 4b, press the rubber
button for ± 4 seconds until the red LED goes out.
To check whether 4a or 4b is set, press the rubber
button and note how many times the LED flashes.
Testing your Birth Alarm GSM
Set the transmitter to mode 4a. Hold the transmit-
ter vertical for at least 10 seconds. The red LED
should come on for ± 8 seconds, then start flash-
ing. The Birth Alarm GSM transmitter should now
be active, and the provider can try to call the first
programmed number (red LED will be on continu-
ously if the provider is found). This procedure takes
about 30 seconds. The first programmed number
is then called.
You now have 2 options:
1- You answer your phone and hear peep-----peep-
----peep-----etc. (and/or you see the Birth Alarm num-
ber on the screen). You then hang up and call the
Birth Alarm GSM number, let the number ring
twice, then hang up. This is how you stop and
reset the Birth Alarm GSM.
2- You do not answer your phone – you see the
Birth Alarm number on your screen. The alarm
stops after ± 10 seconds. One minute later, the
next number is called if more than one number has
been programmed in. Otherwise, the first number
is called again. Here too, you call the Birth Alarm
GSM number, let it ring twice, then hang up. This
is how you stop and reset the Birth Alarm GSM.
Option 2 (not answering) saves you using the cred-
it on the Birth Alarm SIM card and saves the bat-
tery.
If, when testing the system, you want to switch off
the red LED and/or reset the Birth Alarm, just
press the rubber button briefly until the LED goes
out.
4. CHECKING SYSTEM OPERATION
The Birth Alarm GSM is fitted with an built-in bat-
tery monitor.

If you hold the anti-roll bracket in your hand, turn
the transmitter to the vertical position and see the
red LED come on continuously for ± 8
seconds,next it will flash and then the battery is
OK. However, if the LED flashes slowly right away,
the battery should be replaced. If the LED does not
come on at all, the battery is flat and should also
be replaced.
NB: A fully loaded battery should be good for 50
calls.

Check regularly:

- that there is enough credit on your SIM card
- that the Birth Alarm GSM is working, by simulat-
ing an alarm by holding the transmitter vertical for
± 10 seconds.
The battery
Birth Alarm alerts use transmitter power and put a
peak load on the battery. This is different from the
use of a flashlight, for example, which only grad-
ually uses battery power. A high-quality (alkaline)
battery will provide a high level of power until it is
almost flat. The power then drops sharply and the
battery is dead.
A standard (zinc) battery delivers a constantly high
level of power for a short time, then the power
gradually drops until the battery is dead.
After testing various kinds of batteries, we have
found that only high-quality batteries are suitable
for use with the Birth Alarm, because they supply
sufficient power, maintain it at a high level for a
long period, and are, therefore, reliable. That is
why we recommend using (alkaline) Duracell or
(alkaline) Panasonic batteries.
Don't risk it: insert a new battery after each new
foaling/birth!
NB: Do not dispose of Birth Alarm batteries which
have only been used once. They are probably not
flat and can be used for flashlights, toys, radios,
etc.
