Digital coding system

This monitor is equipped with a digital coding system which eliminates

interferences. The codes are written on the box and in the battery

compartment. For use of 2 Angelcare Movement and Sound Monitor in same

household or when interferences occur with an Angelcare in another

household, ensure the 2 monitors have 2 different digital coding system.

In range feature

This monitoring system is equipped with an In Range indicator. To

activate this function press the night light button and hold it until the

halo light flashes. If units are within range, the In Range light will flash.

If out of range the In Range light will be ON with no flashing. To

deactivate the In Range function, press and hold the night light button

again until halo flashes. The In Range light will turn OFF.

NOTE: The parents unit has a range up to 120 meters (394 feet).

AC power source

Model AC301: The AC adapters should be used whenever possible to

extend the battery life. Batteries can be kept in units while using AC

power source. Use regular AAA batteries for the AC301 model.

Model AC301-R: Use AC adapter on Nursery Unit whenever possible to

extend the batter

y life. For Parents Unit, use AC adapter ONLY to charge

NiMh batteries. Only charge batteries when low battery indicator is on. Do

not overcharge. Only use rechargeable batteries for the AC301-R model.

Warning: Damages caused by misuse of the monitor are the customer

responsibility.

Replacing the rechargeable batteries (Model AC301-R only)

When the NiMh batteries in the Parents Unit will not charge or

only hold their charge for a short period of time, batteries need to

be replaced. Unscrew the battery compartment door on the Parents

Unit (if necessary). Remove old batteries. Insert new rechargeable

batteries. Screw in the battery compartment door. Plug the Parents Unit

into an electrical outlet. Use only rechargeable batteries in the Parents

Unit. Allow new batteries to charge continuously for 15 hours.
