Warnings
• This product is NOT a medical device nor a device 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.
• The Sensor Pads may detect movement from many sources from both
inside and outside your baby's room, for example: fans, washing
machines, loud music, etc. Ensure that all vibration sources are
eliminated before using the Angelcare
with crib when monitor is in use. Refer to the Movement
Sensitivity Adjustment and Troubleshooting sections.
• ALWAYS place both units on flat surface in an upright position, away
from baby's reach.
• DO NOT touch the end of the adapter cord when 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.
• This product should be serviced by qualified personnel. There are no
user serviceable parts inside monitor. Refer all service questions to
your distributor (see page 12).
Instructions
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS: Keep 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 flat surface in an upright
position so that air can flow freely around them.
AC POWER SOURCE: Use ONLY the AC adapters supplied with the
Angelcare ® Monitor.
CORD PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the cords of the Sensor Pads 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. DO NOT spray with
cleaning products or solvents. Wipe Sensor Pads with a very slightly
damp cloth with an antiseptic or mild detergent.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall onto units and that liquids are not spilled into either unit or
Sensor Pads through their openings.
NON-USE PERIODS: When not using monitor for long periods, remove
the batteries from both units and disconnect the AC adapters from
electrical outlet.
Testing Your Angelcare
Note: Test your Angelcare ® Monitor BEFORE first-time use and then
on a periodic basis.
The Angelcare ® Monitor can be used outside of the crib, in a different
sleeping area. Test monitor when moving Sensor Pads to a new location
to ensure sensitivity is adjusted correctly to the new padding or
mattress. Consult the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 1. On the Nursery Unit, switch to the "Sound Only" function.
Have someone else speak into the Nursery Unit or place a radio near
Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is no

on the same channel, either on A, B or C. If reception is not clear,
switch to other channel.
Step 2. Test monitor to detect movement. Switch Nursery Unit to the
"Movement" function. Gently move your hand on the mattress. The
green light will continue to flash with your every movement. Remove
hand from mattress. Due to no movement, a "pre-alarm Tic" sound will
emit after 15 seconds. 5 seconds later, the alarm will sound and the red
light will flash continuously.
NOTE: If alarm does not sound, the Sensor Pads 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 Pads may need to be reduced, consult the Movement
Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 3. To stop alarm, place your hand lightly on mattress for Sensor
Pad to redetect movement. The red Alarm indicator light on the Nursery
Unit will continue to flash 1 minute (Figure 3).
Step 4. Verify that the battery mode is functional by operating both
units without the AC adapters. The green Power light should appear on
both units.
Parents Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears, replace
batteries promptly for Model AC301. For Model AC301-R, recharge
Parents Unit for 12 hours.
Nursery Unit: When orange Low Battery indicator light appears a rapid
"clicking" is heard, replace batteries promptly. If not, the light will
eventually turn red and the monitor will stop working.
Operating Tips
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment
The sensitivity adjustment dial has been preset to suit
most situations. However in certain circumstances,
the sensitivity may not be ideal. DO NOT increase
sensitivity unless false alarms occurs and you have
followed the advice in the Troubleshooting section
for false alarms. Make a note of the pre-set position of
the dial should you wish to return to it.
The movement indicator light on the Nursery Unit will flash orange when
monitor barely detects movement. This could be a result of: baby being
in a very deep sleep or baby having moved away from Sensor Pad to
edge of crib. If alarm does NOT sound, no adjustment of sensitivity is
required. If the Movement indicator light flashes orange most of the time
with baby directly over the location of either Sensor Pad, a false alarm
may occur. If this happens, adjust the sensitivity.
To adjust sensitivity, increase dial to the next setting. Retest monitor.
Channel selection for sound reception
Make sure that both units are on the same channel, either both
on A, B or C. If reception is not clear, switch to other channel. If
interference persists, consult the Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: This monitoring system is equipped with an out-of-range
indicator.The range out light will flash and a sound will be received
on the receiver if the Parents Unit and Nursery Unit are too far apart.
Green Sound Lights
The four Sound Lights allow you to see baby's sounds. The louder the
sounds from baby, the more lights appear.
Temperature display
The nursery unit is equipped with room temperature display. The temperature
is displayed in Celsius (C) or Fahrenheit (F).
Make sure that both units are
