CORD PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the Sensor Pad cord and to the
adapter cords. 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 Pad 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 Pad 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.

Monitor can be used outside of the crib, in a different
sleeping area. Test monitor when moving Sensor Pad 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 sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Make sure that both

Nursery Unit. You should hear sound from the Parents Unit. If there is
no sound, refer to the Troubleshooting section. Make sure that both
units are on the same channel, either both on A or B. If reception is
not clear, switch to other channel.
Step 2. Test monitor to detect movement. Switch Nursery Unit to the
"Sound & Movement" function. The Movement indicator light will flash
red, green and then emit a single "Tic" sound. Gently pat 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 Pad 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 Pad may need to be reduced, consult the
Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section.
Step 3. To stop alarm, pat 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 AC201. For Model AC201-R,
recharge Parents Unit.

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 the
Sensor Pad, a false alarm may occur. If this happens, adjust the
sensitivity.
To adjust the sensitivity, place baby on mattress or padding and wait
until baby is asleep and has settled. This will ensure a more precise
tuning. Set dial to 5, then proceed to lower sensitivity until orange light
flashes on Nursery Unit. Then slowly increase slightly until green light
appears. Add 1/2 point to set the sensitivity level (ex. If green light
appears at 3, then set dial at 3.5). Retest monitor.

Channel selection for sound reception
Make sure that both units are on the same channel, either both on A
or B. If reception is not clear, switch to other channel. If interference
persists, consult the Troubleshooting section.
NOTE: This monitoring system is NOT equipped with an out-of-range
indicator. No sound will be received if the Parents Unit and Nursery
Unit are too far apart.

5 EASY STEPS TO OPERATE YOUR ANGELCARE
®
MONITOR
STEP 1. SENSOR PAD
Place Sensor Pad lengthwise under crib mattress, directly under where baby sleeps (Figures 1 and 2). Printed side of Sensor Pad
MUST face up. DO NOT place any bedding or linen between crib mattress and Sensor Pad.
Sensor Pad must rest on a firm surface. If your crib has a spring base, place a piece of plywood measuring at least 400 mm x
600 mm x 6 mm (16" x 24" x 1/4") on spring base. If your crib has a plywood base, your mattress support is firm enough to
properly use monitor.

STEP 2. NURSERY UNIT (TRANSMITTER)
• Insert 4 AAA batteries into Nursery Unit (for battery backup in case of power failure).
• Connect Sensor Pad to Nursery Unit (Figures 3 and 6).
• On the back of the Nursery Unit, select 1 of the 3 functions of how you want to monitor your baby from the Parents Unit:

STEP 3. PARENTS UNIT (RECEIVER)
Model AC201: Insert 4 AAA batteries into Parents Unit. Or, connect AC adapter to Parents Unit and plug adapter to an electrical outlet.
Model AC201-R: The pre-installed NiCad rechargeable batteries need to be charged for 15 hours continuously before first-time
use. To charge, connect the AC adapter to the Parents Unit. Plug AC adapter to an electrical outlet (Figure 4). The batteries will
charge as long as it is connected to a powered AC adapter. The position of the switches will not effect charging.
For longest battery life, only recharge the Parents Unit when the orange Low Battery light flashes.

STEP 4. TO USE MONITOR
Place baby in crib and switch both units ON by selecting either channel A or B. If reception is not clear, switch to other channel.
Make sure both units are on the same channel. When removing baby from crib, switch Nursery Unit to the OFF position. If you
forget to switch OFF, a "pre-alarm Tic" will sound after 15 seconds as a reminder.
To avoid feedback (whistling sound), keep both units at least 3 meters apart (10 feet).

STEP 5. BATTERY MODE
• When unplugging AC adapter from each unit, make sure unit is switched OFF. Otherwise, unit will revert to battery mode.

• Your monitor can be used in any crib or sleeping area (that has no motion or vibration) designed to safely hold a baby. It must have a
firm flat bottom greater than the size of the Sensor Pad - 260 mm x 406 mm (10" x 16"). DO NOT use in a rocking cradle.
