Note that if the equipment is switched off and then
switched on again then the range control feature is au-
tomatically re-activated.
10. Clips
Both transmitter and receiver can be attached to a belt
or the wall (with suitable materials) using the clips situ-
ated on the back of the two devices.
11. Insertion of batteries for the transmitter
The transmitter can also be operated with conventional
batteries!
1. To insert or change the rechargeable batteries/bat-
teries open the transmitter battery compartment by
pressing down the lock whilst at the same time slid-
ing the battery compartment cover downwards.
2. Remove the drained rechargeable batteries/batteries
from the unit.
3. Now insert charged rechargeable batteries or new
batteries in the groove provided, making a note of
the polarity (+/-) (see marking on housing). Now
close the battery compartment cover in reverse order
until it audibly engages.
4. Now close the battery compartment by sliding the
battery compartment cover back onto the housing.
12. Insertion of battery pack for the receiver
To insert or change the battery pack open the receiver
battery compartment by pressing down the lock whilst
at the same time sliding the battery compartment cover
downwards. Now insert the battery pack in the groove
provided, making a note of the polarity (+/-) (see mark-
ing on case). Now close the battery compartment cover
in reverse order until it audibly engages.
13. Battery monitoring
When the battery/storage battery voltage falls too low (in
the event that the device is being battery operated), this
will be displayed on both transmitter and receiver.
If the operating voltage is insufficient, the colour of the
operating display changes from green to red on both
transmitter (4) and receiver (13).
14. Charging the battery pack in the receiver
• To charge the battery pack in the receiver connect the
corresponding power pack to socket (18) of the charg-
ing station.
• As soon as you have connected the power pack to
charging station (21) and the receiver is located in the
charging station, the charging tray will flash 5 times
green/red. During this period the battery pack is test-
ed. Charging then commences automatically and this
will be indicated by the red slashing LED (20) on the
charging tray.

• The charging time for a fully drained battery pack, with
the unit switched off, is approximately 12 hours.
• If the receiver is switched on during the charging proc-
ess, the charging time is doubled.
• After charging, you can leave the unit in the charging
station (21). It is technically impossible to over-charge
the battery pack.
• LED (20) automatically switches to green after charg-
ing when the receiver is switched off.
N. B. Only replace defective battery packs with original
battery packs. Micro AAA rechargeable batteries/bat-
teries cannot be charged or inserted in this baby alarm.
We recommend, particularly for night monitoring, that
you operate both units by means of the power packs
supplied to ensure perfect monitoring. In normal bat-
tery operation the range alarm will be triggered during
the night, according to the charging condition, and will
therefore wake you unnecessarily.
15. Charging the transmitter battery
If you are operating the transmitter with batteries, and
they are drained, you must remove them from the unit
and recharge them in a separate charger, because the
transmitter has no charging function of its own.
16. 40 MHz technology
The device operates within a 40 MHz frequency range,
which excludes interference from CB wireless operators.
17. Pilot references
The remote safety and fault-free nature of this baby
monitoring device is additionally improved with the aid of
an inaudible, proven pilot reference. This pilot reference
has the effect that the receiver only switches on in the
event that noises from the connecting transmitter, e. g.
the baby being monitored, are transferred.
In the unlikely event that you are disrupted by other sig-
nals from the 40 MHz frequency range during trans-
mission, you have the option to switch over to another
channel.
18. Nightlight feature
The transmitter also has a nightlight function (2). Since
babies often cry if it is completely dark, the transmitter
also comes equipped with a nightlight feature, which has
a calming effect on your baby.
You can switch the nightlight feature on or off by using
the switch located on the right-hand side of the transmit-
ter (10).
The following settings can be chosen:
AUS = nightlight feature deactivated
VOX = nightlight switches itself on automatically as soon
as the microphone detects a sound
EIN = nightlight feature is permanently on
-12-
Important! In VOX mode, the nightlight will automati-
cally switch itself off 2 seconds after the last noise was
detected.
To save your batteries/rechargeable batteries, the
nightlight feature should only be used when running the
equipment on mains power.
19. Notes on ecological use
• When using batteries, electrical and magnetic fields
can be totally avoided.
• When not using the baby alarm remove the power
packs from the sockets to avoid electrical, magnet-
ic and electromagnetic fields. This will also save you
money because power packs consume current when
even they are merely inserted in a socket.
20. Handy hints in case of faults
• If the transmitter or receiver does not function, check
the electricity supply initially.
• If no transfer between transmitter and receiver takes
place, please check the transmission/reception chan-
nels on both devices (a connection is only possible if
they correlate).
• As MBF 3133 ÖKO operates on a wireless (radio) ba-
sis, you may be able to hear conversations on other
wavelengths, and, in turn, other listeners may be able
to receive the conversations or noises emitted by your
transmitter. However, MBF 3133 ÖKO uses transfer
frequencies which should ensure that interference of
this nature will not usually occur. If, however, the occa-
sional interference does arise, switch over to the other
channel (frequency).
• Transmitter and receiver should be placed in an up-
right position in order to guarantee optimum transmis-
sion and reception.
• If the receiver is placed too close to the transmitter and
its volume is too high, a whistling tone can be gener-
ated (acoustic feedback). In order to avoid this, the
distance between transmitter and receiver should be
extended.
• Weak batteries or storage batteries can result in the re-
ceiver emitting a crackling noise.
• Please note that no general protection exists against
third party listening within the 40 MHz frequency
range.
21. Important information
• Please use only the original mains adapters to oper-
ate the devices. If one of the mains adapters should
prove faulty, please consult your specialist dealer. If
other mains adapters are used, non-compatible polari-
ties (+/-) and electrical voltages can result in serious
damage to the devices.
• A faulty mains adapter cannot be repaired. The power
supply lead cannot be replaced, and the mains adapt-
er should be disposed of immediately as a result.
• Avoid pulling on the lead when removing the mains
adapter from the socket and the baby monitoring de-
vice, instead carefully plugging and unplugging them
from the socket or device in order to prevent damaging
the lead.
• Do not place the transmitter in the baby's cot or crawl-
ing pen.
• Always place the devices out of the reach of small chil-
dren.
• If one or both devices are operated with batteries/stor-
age batteries, reception and transmission perform-
ance will not be as good as is the case with mains op-
eration.
• Two mains adapters are enclosed in order to allow you
to plug both transmitter and receiver into their respec-
tive sockets (230 volts/50 Hz).
• We recommend the removal of batteries/storage bat-
teries in the event that the device has not been used
for a long time, as empty batteries/storage batteries
can crystallise and cause damage.
22. Notes on Disposal
