1. THIS PRODUCT CANNOT REPLACE RE-SPONSIBLE ADULT SUPERVISION. This product is designed to aid in the monitoring of your child. When using the monitor, you must still provide the supervision necessary for the continued safety of your child. Moni-toring of premature babies, or those consid-ered to be at risk, should always be carried out under the supervision of a health pro-fessional. This monitor is not intended to be used as a medical monitor.2. STRANGULATION HAZARD—Children have STRANGLED in cords. Keep adapter cords out of the reach of children (more than 3 feet (0.9 m) away) NEVER attempt to use Sensor Pad without the protective cord covering. Check protective cord covering before each use to ensure it is securely placed under the leg of the crib. Discontin-ue use of Sensor Pad if protective covering is damaged or broken.3. Never use extension cords with AC adapt-ers. ONLY use the AC adapters provided. 4. When an AC Adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet, DO NOT touch the exposed end.5. ALWAYS be sure that both the transmit-ter and receiver are working properly and are within range of each other. Test monitor be-fore first use, periodically and when changing location of the Nursery Unit.6. ALWAYS be sure to immediately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds. 7. DO NOT use monitor near water (such as bath tub, sink, etc.). CAUTIONRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKDO NOT OPENDO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE8.

15.20 STRANGULATION HAZ-ARD—Children have STRANGLED in cords. Keep adapter cords out of the reach of children (more than 3 feet (0.9 m) away) NEVER attempt to use Sensor Pad without the protective cord covering. Check protective cord covering before each use to ensure it is securely placed under the leg of the crib.Discontinue use of Sensor Pad if protective covering is damaged or broken.15.21 Interference - This monitor uses public airwaves to transmit signals. The Parent Unit may pick up signals or interference from oth-er nursery monitors in your area. Your moni-tor may even be picked up by other house-holds. To protect your privacy, make sure both units are turned OFF when not in use. If you experience interference, change the channel on both units.15.22 Vibration Source - When the monitor is in use, DO NOT use a crib mobile or other crib accessories that may produce vibrations. Other sources of vibrations may include fans, washing machines, loud music, etc. These sources of vibration may interfere with the performance of your Angelcare® monitor and the alarm will not sound if it continues to de-tect any movement other than your baby’s. Be sure all vibration sources are eliminated before using the monitor. 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 the Sensor Pad has not been placed under the mattress properly. Be sure the Sensor Pad is on a flat, firm sur-face with the printed side facing up. The sen-sitivity level may also need to be adjusted. Refer to step 5.3. Always be sure to imme-diately check on baby whenever an alarm sounds.15.23 Sensor Pad - Your Sensor Pad can be used in any crib that is stationary and de-signed to safely hold a baby. If the crib has a spring or slat base, place a hard board be-tween the crib base and the Sensor Pad mea-suring at least 13” x 13” (33 x 33 cm) and 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick. Only use your Angelcare® monitor in a stationary sleeping environment such as a crib where the Sensor Pad can rest on a completely flat, firm surface. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RELATED TO USE OF BATTERIES16.1 Use ONLY the type and size of batter-ies specified in the owner’s manual. There is a risk of explosion if batteries are replaced with an incorrect type.16.2 Use ONLY AAA rechargeable batter-ies and/or the AC Adapters provided for the Parent Unit. You must use only rechargeable batteries in the Parent Unit. DO NOT use al-kaline batteries or you will severely damage the unit.16.3 Charge the batteries for 15 hours prior to first use. Be sure to have the monitor in the OFF position during this period. ONLY use the AC Adapters included with your monitor.16.4 DO NOT use these adapters with any other equipments.16.5 When unplugging the AC Adapter from the Nursery Unit, be sure it is switched to the OFF position. If it isn’t, the unit will revert to battery mode if batteries are installed.16.6 DO NOT use rechargeable batteries in the Nursery Unit. Use alkaline batteries ONLY.16.7 DO NOT dispose batteries in fire. They may explode. Check with local regulations for possible special disposal instructions.16.8 Exercise care in handling batteries in or-der not to short out the batteries with con-ducting materials such as rings, bracelets and keys. Overcharging, short circuiting, reverse charging, mutilation, or incineration of batter-ies must be avoided to prevent one or more of the following occurrences: release of toxic materials, release of hydrogen and/or oxygen gas, rise in surface temperature.16.9 DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries provided with or identified for use with this product that are not intended to be charged. The batteries may leak corrosive electrolyte or explode.16.10 DO NOT attempt to rejuvenate the bat-teries provided with or identified for use with this product by heating them. Sudden release of battery electrolyte may occur, causing burns or irritation to eyes or skin.5E N
16.11 If and when necessary, the batteries must be replaced with identical new ones or equivalent (volts and size). If a battery to be replaced is connected with other batteries in series, replace the other batteries at the same time as well.
