Installation of the SensorPad

Positioning of SensorPad under the mattress
Positioning of SensorPad under the mattress

Positioning and Installation of SensorPad and Nursery Unit
Positioning and Installation of SensorPad and Nursery Unit

  1. The SensorPad works with all baby bed sizes and all mattresses, except memory foam and hollow frame mattresses
  2. Position the SensorPad in the middle of the bed on top of the mattress base as shown on the left, with the printed side of the SensorPad facing upwards
  3. The SensorPad must rest on a completely flat and rigid surface. We recommend placing a piece of plywood UNDER the SensorPad if the baby bed has a slatted base. The plywood will push the SensorPad into the mattress and ensures contact between the SensorPad and the mattress at all times. The plywood needs to be at least 10cm larger than the SensorPad and approx. 6mm thick. Drill a few holes in the plywood to allow air circulation
  4. Place the mattress back ON TOP of the SensorPad
  5. Secure the SensorPad wire to the bed using a tie wrap. Keep the wire out of the baby's reach at all times.
  6. The Sensitivity of the SensorPad has been set at level 3
    DO NOT ADJUST UNLESS NECESSARY
    The sensitivity of the SensorPad can be adjusted to ensure optimal performance in any situation (e.g. mattress size and thickness). See Step 4: Testing your Angelcare Baby Monitor.
    MULTIPLE BABIES
    NEVER use the Angelcare Video, Movement & Sound Monitor if multiple babies are sleeping together in ONE bed. For monitoring more than one baby (e.g. twins) you need two Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitors and the babies need to be in SEPARATE beds.
    MOSES BASKETS
    The SensorPad can be used with moses baskets, but the plywood is not required in this specific situation. ALWAYS place the SensorPad directly under the moses basket mattress and ensure the lead is fed through a hole in the base so it is out of reach from baby.
    ADULT MATTRESSES
    The SensorPad CANNOT be used with mattresses for adults or memory foam and hollow frame mattresses.
    DO NOT attach any moving or vibrating items (e.g. mobiles) to the cot, as this will affect the SensorPad readings.

Testing your Angelcare Baby Monitor

TO TEST THE SOUND FUNCTION
Switch both the Parent and Nursery unit ON. Have someone speak into the Nursery Unit or play music in the baby's room. You should hear sound from the Parent Unit. If there is no sound, please refer to the Troubleshooting section. You can increase/decrease the sound volume using the ARROWS UP and DOWN on the right hand side of Parent Unit.

TO TEST THE MOVEMENT FUNCTION

  1. Make sure the SensorPad is installed correctly and turn both units ON
  2. Gently move your hand on top and in the middle of the mattress. This will simulate your baby's movements
  3. If movement is detected, the pendulum in the Parent Unit Settings Bar will 'swing' from left to right
  4. After approx. 1 minute remove your hand from the mattress. Do not lean against the baby's bed!
  5. Due to the lack of movement, the pendulum on the Parent Unit Settings Bar stops swinging. After 15 seconds a loud 'pre-alarm' beep will sound, and 5 seconds later the alarm will go off (continuous beeping sound)
  6. Follow the same process for all four corners of the mattress to ensure that the SensorPad is covering the complete mattress. The area covered by the SensorPad can be increased by adjusting the sensitivity (see below)
  7. If the alarm does not sound, the SensorPad may be detecting a continuous vibration from (e.g.) the floor, a strong draught or vibrating items (e.g. cot mobiles), or the baby's bed is being touched
  8. DO NOT touch baby's bed whilst testing the monitor. Place baby's bed near a solid supporting wall and away from strong drafts

TO ADJUST THE SENSITIVITY OF THE SENSORPAD

  1. The factory setting is level 3, which is suitable for most baby and children's bed sizes and types of mattress. DO NOT ADJUST UNLESS NECESSARY
  2. The sensitivity of the SensorPad can be increased (highest level 5, suitable for larger beds or thicker mattresses) or decreased (lowest level 1, suitable for smaller beds and if there a possibility of external vibrations). See Step 8 on how to adjust the SensorPad sensitivity
  3. By increasing the sensitivity the SensorPad will cover a larger area (e.g. bigger beds or thicker mattresses), BUT it could also detect vibrations from outside the baby's bed, e.g. mobiles, etc
  4. It is important to find the right balance for your situation to ensure optimal performance of the SensorPad
  5. ALWAYS test the performance after moving and reinstalling the Angelcare Baby Monitor in a different place or when the bed or mattress has changed
  6. NEVER USE THE SENSORPAD WITH AN ADULT MATTRESS, A MEMORY FOAM OR HOLLOW FRAME MATTRESS!

TO TEST STOPPING THE MOVEMENT ALARM
To stop the alarm:

  1. Place your hand on the mattress again so that the SensorPad starts detecting movement
  2. Turn the Nursery Unit OFF (then restart the monitor by turning the Nursery Unit ON again)
  3. Press the Alarm Icon on the Parent Unit screen or press and hold the top button on the Nursery Unit

TO TEST THE BATTERY MODE
Always check if the battery mode is functioning correctly by operating both units without the AC adaptors. If the Battery LED is red on the Nursery Unit, the batteries need to be replaced. If the display on the Parent Unit does not appear, the Parent Unit needs to be recharged in the Charging Cradle.


The Movement Function is activated as a factory setting. This means that the Movement Alarm will most likely sound if both the Parent Unit and Nursery Unit are turned ON for the first time. This is probably because the SensorPad has not been connected yet or no movement has been detected, e.g. there is no baby in the (cot) bed yet. This is normal and shows your Angelcare Baby Monitor works correctly. Please see Steps 1 to 4 for correct installation and testing of your Angelcare Baby Monitor to ensure optimal performance.

Monitoring more than one baby

NEVER use the Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitor (or any movement monitor) if multiple babies are sleeping together in ONE bed!
For monitoring more than one baby (e.g. twins) you need two Angelcare Movement & Sound Monitors and the babies need to be in SEPARATE beds.

If you are using two Angelcare monitors it is essential that:

  • Each monitor is set to a different channel
  • The distance between the two Nursery Units is at least 1 metre
  • The distance between the Parent Units is at least 1 metre
    Please see website for more information.

Maintenance of your Angelcare Baby Monitor

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS: Always keep this Instructions Manual for future reference.
WATER, MOISTURE AND HEAT DAMAGE: Keep all monitor components away from water (sink, bath tub, swimming pool) and places that emit heat (stove, radiator).
VENTILATION: ALWAYS place both units on a flat surface in an upright position to ensure free air circulation around the units. The SensorPad is made of plastic and does not permit the air to circulate. Therefore, mildew build-up could develop underneath the mattress in the SensorPad area. We suggest rotating the mattress regularly (as per the manufacturer's instructions) to prevent any mildew.
AC POWER SOURCE: Use only the AC adaptors supplied with the Angelcare Baby Monitor.
WIRES PROTECTION: Avoid damage to the wires of the SensorPad and AC adaptors. Route wires 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 SensorPad with a cloth moistened very slightly with an antiseptic or mild detergent.
OBJECTS AND LIQUIDS: Always ensure that no objects or liquids are pushed or spilled into any openings of the Parent Unit, Nursery Unit and/or SensorPad.
NON-USE PERIODS: When not using the baby monitor for any long period, remove the batteries from both units and disconnect the AC adaptors from the mains power.

Warnings

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS AND THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A MEDICAL DEVICE DESIGNED TO PREVENT CASES OF SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME (SIDS OR COT DEATH).
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 BABIES CONSIDERED TO BE AT RISK, SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT ONLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A DOCTOR OR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL.
ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BABY IMMEDIATELY WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT A TOY.
Please read Step 1 (Installation of SensorPad), Step 4 (Testing your Baby Monitor) and the Troubleshooting section to ensure your Angelcare Baby Monitor is installed correctly.
DO NOT put the Parent Unit near wireless devices or a microwave oven. Such devices can disrupt the transmission of the alarm signal.
The Angelcare Baby Monitor is perfectly safe. The SensorPad and its cord are entirely passive. They carry no electrical current and do not radiate any form of energy. The Nursery Unit emits only very low power radio signals through its antenna.
These signals do not present a safety hazard.
The SensorPad may detect movement from many sources from both inside and outside your baby's room, e.g. washing machine, loud music, etc. Make sure that all vibration sources are eliminated before using the Angelcare Baby Monitor. When the monitor is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or other crib accessories that produce vibrations. This can prevent the movement alarm from working properly as the monitor will still be detecting movement.
Please do not touch the baby's bed when the monitor is in use.
Your Angelcare Baby Monitor can be used in any crib that is stationary and designed to safely hold a baby. If your crib has a spring or slatted base you will need to place a piece of plywood under the SensorPad. Please see Step 1 for correct installation of the SensorPad. Only use your Angelcare Baby Monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a cot (bed) or moses basket where the SensorPad can rest on a completely flat, firm surface.
You may experience false alarms for several reasons. The most common reason is the Nursery Unit has not been turned off after you have removed your baby from the crib. Another reason is if the SensorPad has not been placed under the mattress properly. Be sure the SensorPad is placed on a flat, firm surface with the printed side facing up. The sensitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Please see Step 1 for the correct installation of the SensorPad.
If the monitor has been stored or has been exposed to hot or cold temperatures, it may take up to one hour before the temperature displayed on the Parent Unit is accurate.
ALWAYS place the Parent and Nursery Units on a flat surface in an upright position, away from baby's reach.
Allow for proper ventilation when units are in use. Do not cover the Nursery Unit or Parent Units with any object such as a blanket. Do not place it in a drawer or in any location which would muffle the sound or interfere with the normal flow of air.
Plug the AC adaptor into a convenient accessible mains socket outlet.
Keep all wires out of baby's reach as this could cause a possible entanglement or strangulation injury.
DO NOT touch the end of the AC adaptor cord when it is plugged into the mains.
The Angelcare Baby Monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals. The Parent Unit may pick up signals or interference from other baby monitors in your area. Your monitor may also be picked up by receivers in other households. To protect your privacy, make sure both units are in the OFF position when not in use and change the channels regularly.

Do not use the Nursery Unit if:

  • The AC adaptor wire or plugs have been damaged
  • The unit has been exposed to liquids
  • The unit has been dropped or is damaged

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE the Nursery Unit, Parent Unit, Parent Unit base, SensorPad or AC Adaptors. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Risk of electrical shock, fire or death.
The antenna used for this transmitter must be installed least 20cm (7.9") away from all human beings and must not be collocated or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.


You must use only rechargeable batteries in the Parent Unit. DO NOT use alkaline batteries or you will severely damage the unit. Charge the batteries for 16 hours prior to first use. Be sure to have the monitor in the OFF position during this period. Only use the AC adaptors included with your monitor.

DO NOT use these adapters with any other equipment. When unplugging the AC adapter from the Nursery Unit, be sure it is switched to the OFF position. If this is not the case, the unit will revert to battery mode if batteries are installed.
You can use rechargeable batteries in the Nursery Unit, however, they will not be recharged by plugging in the AC adaptor.
To recharge, remove the batteries and use an external charger.
ONLY use AAA (LR03) rechargeable batteries and/or the AC adaptor provided for the Parent Unit.

Troubleshooting

DESCRIPTION POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTIONS
The SensorPad is giving false alarms Baby was removed from his/her bed and Nursery Unit was not switched OFF. Turn off the Nursery Unit.
The SensorPad plug is not connected properly to the Nursery Unit. Verify the connection between the SensorPad and Nursery Unit. Unplug and reconnect the plug of the SensorPad to the Nursery Unit.
The SensorPad is not in full contact with baby's mattress and/or the mattress is not resting on a completely flat or rigid surface. Make sure there is no bedding between mattress and SensorPad. The SensorPad must rest on a completely flat and rigid surface. Place a piece of 6mm thick plywood under the SensorPad. Please follow the instructions in Step 1.
The sensitivity setting of the SensorPad is too low, e.g. level 1. If the sensitivity level is too low, the SensorPad may not detect your baby's movements. The standard setting of the SensorPad sensitivity is level 3. This level works for most baby (cot) bed sizes and mattresses and can be adjusted with the dial on the back of the Nursery Unit. ALWAYS install and test the SensorPad according to the instructions in Steps 1 and 4.
The mattress is not suitable for use with the SensorPad. NEVER use the SensorPad with adult mattresses, memory foam or hollow frame mattresses.
The SensorPad alarm does not go off The Nursery Unit is detecting external movement or vibrations when baby's (cot) bed is being touched. Avoid contact with the (cot) bed or moses basket when the monitor is ON.
No sound is being transmitted The sound transmission is set to 'Voice Activated' and the sound in the baby's room is not loud enough to activate the transmission. Increase the microphone sensitivity if you would like to keep Voice Activated Sound transmission or activate Continuous Sound transmission. Please see Step 7 for further instructions.
One of the units is turned OFF, due to low or incorrect installed batteries. Check/replace the batteries in both units and/or recharge the Parent Unit (see Step 2a and 3a).
One of the units is OFF, due to the AC adaptors not being connected properly or the mains switch is turned off. Check if all AC adaptors are working correctly and if the mains switch is turned ON.
One of the units is turned OFF. Ensure both units are ON.
The Volume Level on the Parent Unit is OFF. Increase the Volume Level on the Parent Unit using the UP/DOWN buttons on the right hand side of the Parent Unit (see Step 3b).
The sound transmission is intermittent The sound transmission is set to Voice Activated and will only transmit if the microphone on the Nursery Unit detects a certain level of sound. Increase the microphone sensitivity if you would like to keep Voice Activated sound transmission or activate Continuous Sound transmission. Please see Step 7 for further instructions.
The power ON indicator on the Nursery Unit does not light up The AC adaptors are not connected properly or the mains socket is out of order or not switched on. Check the connections and/or change to another electrical socket.
The Nursery unit is not turned ON. Press and hold the left wing backwards for 2 seconds to turn ON the Nursery Unit (see Step 2a).
There is very weak reception The Parent and Nursery Units are too far apart and the 'Out of Range' indicator is OFF. Reduce the distance between the two units until communication is established. Ensure both units are ON. Turn the Out of Range function ON to avoid this in the future (see Step 15).
One or both units are placed near a large metal construction which obstructs the transmission. Reduce the distance between the two units until communication is established. Ensure both units are ON. Turn the Out of Range function ON to avoid this in the future (see Step 15).
One or both units are not in the upright position. Place both units on a flat surface away from baby's reach.
The batteries are low. Check/replace the batteries or recharge the Parent Unit (see Step 3a). Check if all AC adaptors are working correctly and if the mains socket is turned ON.
There is interference or noise coming from the Parent Unit (e.g. interference from other monitors, wireless phones and networks, walkietalkies, etc.) The Parent Unit is located near motorized devices, fluorescent lights, televisions, etc. Keep the Parent Unit and the Nursery Unit away from any devices that can be a source of interference.
There is 'feedback' coming from the Parent Unit (loud howling noise) The Parent Unit and the Nursery Unit are too close together. Keep the Parent and Nursery Units at least 3 metres/10 feet apart. Decrease the volume level on the Parent Unit using the UP and DOWN buttons on the right hand side of the Parent Unit.
The mattress has become mouldy There is not enough air circulation under the mattress. If you have placed a large piece of plywood under the SensorPad as instructed, please drill holes in the plywood to allow air circulation. The SensorPad is a passive device and does not radiate any form of energy or heat.
