Testing Your Monitor
Always test your monitor before using it the first time and then on a periodic basis. Before testing your
monitor, complete the set-up process as described above.
1. Testing for Sound. Turn the Nursery Unit and Parents' Unit on, making sure they are both set to the
same channel. On the Nursery Unit, switch to the "Sound Only" function. Have someone else speak
into the Nursery Unit or place a radio near the Nursery Unit while you take the Parents' Unit into anoth-
er room. You should hear the sounds being transmitted from the Nursery Unit. If there is no sound,
adjust your volume control and/or refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 15. If you experience
interference or static, switch both units to the other channel.
2. Testing for Movement. Switch the Nursery Unit to the "Sound & Movement" function. The Movement
Indicator Light on the Nursery Unit will flash red, green, and then emit a single "Tic" sound. Gently pat
your hand on the mattress. The green Movement Indicator Light will continue to flash with every move-
ment. The Nursery Unit will also tick with every movement. Remove your hand from the mattress. Due
to no movement, the ticking will stop, the Movement Indicator Light will stop flashing, and a pre-alarm
beep will sound after 15 seconds. Five seconds later the alarm will sound and the red Alarm Indicator
Light will flash continuously.
You can also test for movement with the Nursery Unit set to the "Tic Off" position. In this case, you will
not hear a constant ticking when you touch the mattress. When you remove your hand from the mat-
tress the Movement Indicator Light will stop flashing, a pre-alarm beep will sound after 15 seconds,
and five seconds later the alarm will sound and the red Alarm Indicator Light will flash continuously.
To turn off the alarm, turn the Nursery Unit off or pat your hand lightly on the mattress so the Sensor
Pad will redetect movement. The red Alarm Indicator Light on the Nursery Unit will continue to flash
for one minute and it will then revert to green.
If the alarm does not sound when you are not touching the mattress, the Sensor Pad may be detect-
ing a continuous vibration from another source from inside and/or outside your baby's room. Common
sources of this interference are crib mobiles, fans, washing machines, or even loud music. Therefore,
it is very important to make sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor. Place
the crib near a solid supporting wall and away from strong air currents. Do not use crib mobiles or
accessories that may cause vibrations. Avoid contact with the crib when the monitor is in use.
If you find the alarm will still not sound when you are not touching the mattress or crib, the monitor is
on, and you have removed all external sources of vibration, the sensitivity level may need to be
decreased. Please refer to the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section on page 12.
3. Testing for Battery Power. Verify that the units are operating on battery power by installing four AAA
batteries in each unit and unplugging the AC adapters. The green Power Indicator should light up on
all units.
