USING VOICE ACTIVATION
Voice Activation eliminates t e background “ um” associ-
ated wit sound monitors w en t ere is no significant
sound being transmitted from your baby’s room. It does
t is by automatically placing bot t e Nursery Unit (transmitter)
and t e Parents’ Unit (receiver) into a “standby” mode. W en sig-
nificant sound is detected, t e Voice Activation automatically
returns bot units to an “active” mode and immediately transmits
your baby’s sounds to you.
You can determine ow sensitive you want t e Voice Activation
feature to be. For example, if you want to ear t e slig test
sound in t e nursery, adjust t e sensitivity on t e Voice Activation
dial on t e Nursery Unit to t e maximum level (See Fig. 5). If you
only want to ear w en your baby cries, adjust t e sensitivity to a
lower level. You may ave to adjust t e sensitivity level a couple
of times until you get t e exact level you want.
Remem er, w en using t e Voice Activation feature you may t ink
t e sound monitor is not working because t e monitor is com-
pletely quiet and you don’t ear a background “ um.” Don’t
worry – t e monitor is in a “standby” mode and will immediately
return to t e “active” mode w en your baby cries or makes
sounds. If you want to ear t is “ um,” deactivate t e Voice
Activation by switc ing it off on t e Nursery Unit (See Fig. 6). T e
Voice Activation controls are only on t e Nursery Unit, not on t e
Parents’ Unit.
