DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND APRS
This baby monitor employs full digital technology with zero interference.
The unit can automatically select free channel or hop to free channel during
communication to avoid interference from other electronic devices. In addition, thanks
to the Automatic Power Reduction System (APRS) which senses the signal strength
between the baby and parent unit and automatically reduces the emission power from
baby unit when the two units are in close vicinity. The level of radiation to baby is
greatly reduced.

PAIRING
This process is to match the PU with BU and movement sensor mat so that they
can communicate with each other while no other devices (even baby monitor of
identical model) can interfere with you or receiving your signal.
The PU and BU are already paired when they are shipped from factory.
However, it is necessary to perform pairing again when extra BU is added to work with
the PU.
1. Press and hold the button 13 of PU.
2. Rotate the side ring 10 to switch on unit, then release button 13 after
hearing a beep. The icon screen will show a “1” and a “ ” flashing.
3. Set the BU power ON/OFF switch 1 to ON position while holding down the
+ button 2 until the transmit indicator 6 lights up, then release + button 2 .
The transmit indicator 6 will start flashing. Repeat same procedure for the
other BU.
4. Now press the feeding timer button 4 on one of the BU, the transmit
indicator 6 becomes steady and two beep sound will be heard.
5. At the same time, the “ ” on PU icon screen will stop flashing which represent
the pairing process is performed successfully. This BU will be BU No 1.
6. Now press button 15 , the PU icon screen will show a “ 2 ” and a “ ”
flashing.
7. Repeat step 4 for the other BU. The “ ” on PU screen will stop flashing which
represent the pairing process is performed successfully. This BU will be BU
no. 2.
8. Switch off all the units and switch them on again, the baby monitor is now
ready for operation.
9. In case the PU and BU cannot communicate with each other, repeat pairing
process again.

10
N.B. When it is no longer necessary to monitor the baby’s breathing
as he grows older, the movement sensor mat is required to unpair
from BU to avoid false alarm. To achieve this peform pairing process
again between PU & BU by repeating above steps 1-8, but leave out
steps 11-13.
10. The pairing between BU and movement sensor mat should be performed
after the successful pairing between BU and PU or otherwise the system
will not operate properly.
11. Set the BU into pairing mode by repeating step 3 above.
12. While pressing down the alarm hold button 21, switch on the movement
sensor mat by turning the knob 20 clockwise, now release hold button 21.
Press the feeder timer button 4 , the transmit indicator 12 shows steady
on and two beep sound will be heard in the BU, indicating the pairing is
successful.
In case you have two movement sensor mats to be paired to two BU,
Please pair each one in turn with the other BU being switched off.
13. Switch off both the BU and sensor mat, then switch on again for normal
operation, probably you will hear the abnormal breathing alarm in PU after
20 sec in case nothing is placed on the movement sensor mat. Slight tap
the mat few times and the alarm will stop, this shows the system is working
properly.

OPERATION
Baby Unit (BU)
1. Set the power ON/OFF switch 1 to ON position, the power on indicator 5
should light up steady green, if it starts flashing, the battery has run down.
Either replace with new battery or use the AC adapter as power supply. The
battery low alert of BU is also shown as on icon screen of PU, reminding
the parents to replace the batteries in case they are running down.
2. Place the BU about 1m from the baby’s crib with the microphone 7 facing
towards the baby.
3. Adjust the microphone sensitivity using the + - button 2 3 such that the unit
will be set to transmit whenever the microphone 7 picks up a sound at your
desirable loudness level. The transmit indicator 6 will blink everytime these
buttons are pressed, more number of blinks mean the microphone is more
sensitive to sound (maximum is 5 blinks and minimum is 1 blink). Press + to
increase and – to decrease the microphone sensitivity.
4. Once the BU is in transmit mode, the transmit indicator 6 will light up red.
The unit will return to standby mode a few seconds after the microphone 7
stops picking up any sound and the transmit indicator 6 goes off.
5. This baby monitor is equipped with talk back and music function so that the
parent can speak or play lullabies to comfort baby. The volume of parent’s
voice or music from speaker 8 can be adjusted using the + - button 2 3 .
N.B. While there is music or parent’s voice heard from speaker 8 , the
+ - button 2 3 can be used to adjust volume. Under normal mode
when there is no sound from speaker 8 , the + - button 2 3 will only
adjust the microphone sensitivity.

12
6. The starry night projector can be set to permanently ON or VOX (voice
activated) remotely by the PU. Under VOX mode, the starry night projector is
switched on once the microphone 7 detects a sound and goes off a few
seconds after the microphone 7 stops picking up any sound. The starry night
can be projected on the ceiling or wall by making the BU to stand on its
support lever.
7. Press the feeding timer button 4 to initiate the feeding timer countdown in
PU, two beep sound will be heard. The PU icon screen will show flashing
and once the set period has elapsed, an alarm will be heard and show
flashing to remind parents to feed the baby.
8. The temperature sensor inside unit detects the ambient temperature and its
current reading is shown on the icon screen of PU. The normal operating
range of sensor is -19º C(-20˚F) to + 50º C(122˚F). Temperature outside this
range will be shown as - - on the icon screen.
In case there is a sudden big temperature change (e.g. you bring out the unit
from indoor to outdoor during winter time), the sensor may need to take a few
minutes before it can settle to the new environment and show the correct
reading on the icon screen.

1.Place the movement sensor mat underneath the mattress, lengthwise
direction and directly under where your baby sleeps. For optimum
performance, there should be no bedclothes tucked between the sensor
mat and the mattress. Besides, if the mattress support is too soft (such as
box spring or underpadding), a hard board is required to be placed
underneath the mat to provide a firm surface for it. The size of the board
should be larger than the sensor mat.
2. With the baby placed in crib, switch on sensor mat by turning the movement
sensitivity knob 20 in clockwise direction. Adjust the position of knob 20
such that the movement indicator 19 will blink in pace with the breathing
movement of baby.
Slip the control box underneath the mattress to keep out of reach of baby
and place it as far away from the senor mat as possible.
According to the change in weight as baby grows, it may be necessary to
adjust the sensitivity setting of knob 20 again. In case the sensitivity setting
is not appropriate, the movement indicator 19 will always stay ON or OFF
and false alarm may occur.
N.B. Before attempting to adjust the knob 20 , wait for at least 15 -20
min until the baby has settled down or fallen asleep.

3. For environment with continuous vibration from the floor, the sensor mat may
has false detection and delay or prevent the alarm from sounding. Under
such circumstance, move the crib to the corner of the room or near a solid
supporting wall. Moreover, keep the crib away from strong draft and air
current.
4. Besure the BU and sensor mat is within the same room or apart from each
other not more than a distance of 10m, otherwise they may lost connection
with each other and breathing movement of baby cannot be monitored.
5. When parents need to take baby out from crib for feeding or other purpose,
to avoid breathing alert alarm, short press the alarm hold button 21 . This
button can be pressed before or after taking out the baby, but such action
must be performed within 20 sec, or otherwise the alarm would still sound.
To stop alarm in PU, short press hold button 21 again.
Upon placing back the baby into crib, the sensor mat will automatically
resume monitoring the baby movement after 20 seconds.
6. When the baby’s movement increases as he grows older, he may move
away from the sensor mat and cause false alarm. Additional movement
sensor mat can be connected to increase the coverage.

movement for over 20 sec, it will provide an alarm and starts flashing to
alert parents. Moreover, the PU will provide an alarm in case sensor mat
battery is low ( show flashing on icon screen) or sensor mat is out of
range from BU ( and show flashing on icon screen).
OFF – The PU will stop monitoring the movement of baby. Under such mode,
the PU also will not provide an alarm in case the sensor mat battery level is
low or the sensor mat is out of range from BU.

18
5. Place the PU at a reasonable distance away from BU to avoid feedback. Too
close a distance will create a screeching sound at the speaker 12.
6. Once the PU receives a signal, the icon screen will light up and depending the
signal is coming from which BU, the corresponding baby unit no. will show up
together with other information (room temperature, battery level, starry night
projector status) of that BU.
N.B. In case the PU is paired to only one BU, the icon screen will not
show the baby unit no.
7. The speaker 12 volume can be adjusted using the buttons 15 16.The
temperature reading also change correspondingly during adjustment to show
the level ( 1 to 5) being selected. When the level is set to minimum and the
show up on icon screen, the speaker 12 is totally muted. Under such circum-
stances, the parents can still monitor the baby activities by looking at the
sound level meter.
8. If the PU is paired to work with two BUs, BU no. 1 always has top priority. This
means while the unit is listening to signal from BU no. 2, in case BU no. 1
starts transmitting, PU will immediately switch listening to BU no.1 until it stops
to transmit, then it will switch back to listen to BU no.2.
9. To avoid parent missing the attendance to BU no.2, while PU is listening to
signal from BU no.1, in case BU no. 2 starts to transmit, “2” will show flashing
on icon screen to alert parent. If parent prefers to listen to BU no. 2, he can
short press button 13 and PU switches listening to BU no.2 while “1” go
flashing (if BU no. 1 still transmitting). Further press of button 13 will switch
back to BU no. 1 again. Under such arrangement, the parent is able to monitor
both babies.
10. Under standby mode, the PU will alternately scan between the two BUs for
activities. When either one of the BU starts to transmit, the PU will immediately
listen to that BU and the icon screen will only show information from it until the
signal goes off.

19
11. When the PU is set to ON with vibration, whenever a baby’s voice is
detected, the vibrator starts functioning. This feature is useful when the
parent is working under noisy environment (eg. vacuum cleaning). To save
battery power, it is recommended not to use the vibrating alert frequently.
12. Once the PU is beyond the communication range of BU for over 30 sec, an
out of range alarm will be heard ( OFF is selected in setting of Ultra safe
mode ) together with flashing on icon screen. Besides, the temperature
reading will show - - . The alarm will only go off when the PU falls back
within the communication range of BU.
N.B. This alarm will also be heard in case the BU is switched off, or its
battery has run down, or its power is cut off.
13. Whenever the baby’s room temperature falls outside the range as preset by
the high and low temperature limits, an alarm will be heard, in red or white
colour will show up and temperature reading starts flashing on icon screen.
14. The playing of music on BU can be remotely controlled by parents. Short
press the button 14 to turn on music, while the no. 1 – 6 flashing on icon
screen, use buttons 15 16 to select the music you preferred. To stop
music, short press button 14 again. Once the music starts, it will play for
20 min and then stop automatically. Such arrangement is to avoid waking up
the baby in case he falls asleep. When baby starts crying again for over 15
sec., the music will resume playing for another 20 min and then stop,
detecting for further baby cry.
During music playing, if the Talk back button 11 is pessed, the music will be
temporary stopped and BU will only hear the parent’s voice.
N.B. Once the no. 1 – 6 changes back to temperature reading, pressing
the buttons 15 16 only adjust the PU speaker volume but not
selecting the music.
During music playing, the baby’s cry may not become noticeable since
the music may distract the parents attention. So it is strongly
recommended to turn off the music momentarily at regular intervals to
listen to activity of baby.

20
15. It is possible for parent to talk back to baby to soothe his emotion. Press and
hold the button 11, show up on icon screen. Speak towards the
microphone 18. Release button 11 after finish speaking. It is worth noted
that the parent can talk back anytime they prefer, even when the BU is
transmitting.
N.B. Each time the button 11 is short pressed and released, the BU
will be set to transmit for 10 sec before returning to standby mode (even
baby is not making any sound). This is useful for parents to monitor the
activity of baby’s room when baby is sleeping.
16. The various alarm is designed to have following priority :
Out of range alarm > Breathing alert > Temperature alarm > Feeding alarm >
Battery low alarm
Only one kind of alarm can be heard at any time to avoid confusion.
17. Each time anyone of the button 13 14 15 16 is pressed, a beep tone
will be heard to validate your entry.
An alarm can be muted by short press of anyone of button 11
13 15 16. However, the alarm icon will keep showing on icon screen until the
condition is rectified.
