either the SD drive OR the USB drive is in and you want to change modes, PAL will not change
modes unless you insert the new mode (SD or USB) and restart the machine.
•
The PAL Device is formatted with an automatic 5 second RAMP ON/RAMP OFF mode of play in
Non-Contingent Mode and a 1 second RAMP ON/RAMP OFF in Contingent Mode. This means
that the music will not start or stop abruptly it, ascends on and descends off to avoid any startle of
the infant.
•
While the music is in PLAY, the screen will display a

•
There is a BATTERY ICON that will be lit during play, if the unit is running on battery power. If a
red line appears across the battery icon, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
However, if the unit is in play, the current PAL session will not be interrupted.
•
A PLUG ICON will display if the unit is plugged in.
•
The maximum music level is set at 65dB (+/- 3dB in scale C). The level of volume is measured
based on the PAL Device unit being 6 inches from the top of the midline between the infant's
ears.
•
The PAL Device monitors the infant's sucking strength and sends this information back to the PAL
Player. The PAL Player interprets the data and compares this data to the preset threshold. Music
plays for a predetermined length of time, at a set volume, when the infant activates the pacifier by
sucking at the pre-set levels.
2 PAL Sensor Design
•
The PAL Sensor contains sensors that measure the sucking force and frequency of sucks per burst
completed by the infant. The sensors deliver that information on the sucks when plugged into the
PAL Player.
•
The PAL Sensor is designed to fit securely into the opening of Soothie pacifiers (Phillips Soothie /
NICU Soothie / Wee Soothie / Super Soothie) designed for hospital use.
•
The caregiver must hold the PAL Sensor in the infant's mouth during the PAL session, as the infant
will not be able to maintain the pacifier in his/her mouth by himself/herself for any extended
length of time.
•
Each sensor can be used for a 90-minute accrued period after which an
automatic lockout is triggered, and the PAL Sensor must be replaced.
•
There are two modes of play:
CONTINGENT Mode
o
Default mode,
▪
Requires active participation from the infant throughout the session
▪
PAL Sensor must be attached to PAL Player
▪
Use time is accrued on the PAL Sensor
▪
NON-CONTINGENT Mode
o
This mode plays music for a period of time set by the operator with no
▪
participation from the infant.
Pacifier not needed
▪
Time does not accrue on the PAL Sensor
▪
•
In CONTINGENT Mode, the PAL Device will not operate unless the PAL Sensor is plugged in. The
screen will display "waiting for pacifier" if the PAL Sensor is not plugged in. Once the sensor is
plugged in, the PAL will proceed to play.
•
When sensor exceeds 90 mins of use during a PAL session, the PAL Player will complete that
session & not show the sensor as "expired" until the session has ended by restarting PAL Device.
•
The PAL Sensor contains a circuit board. Dispose of expired PAL Sensors in accordance with local
regulations or contact manufacturer for advice.
