Important Safety Information
• It is very important that you read the User Guide carefully as it contains detailed
information you will need to get the most from your Oricom Baby Monitor. If you
have any issues setting up or using your Oricom Baby monitor please call our
Customer support team. Our dedicated local team are more likely to be able to
help you than the retailer where you made your purchase.
• Your ORICOM Baby Monitor is designed to be an aid and should not be used
as a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision of a child.
• The Baby Monitor has been designed to provide some added reassurance in
the form of sound transmission for those times when you are not in the same
room as your baby provided you always stay within hearing range of the baby
monitor during use. Your Baby Monitor is not a medical device, nor a device
to prevent cases of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SID'S) or "cot death",
and you should not rely on it for your baby's wellbeing. It is important that you
regularly check on your baby personally.
• Make sure the Baby unit, Parent unit and mains adaptor cables are kept out
of reach of your baby and other young children at all times, at least one metre
away.
• Never place the baby unit or parent unit inside your baby’s cot, bed or playpen.
• Never cover the Parent or baby units with clothes, towels or blankets or any
other item. Never use or place your Parent or Baby unit in or near moisture or
water (e.g. near bath or pool). Immersing in water could cause electric shock
and even death.

5impOrTANT SAFETy iNFOrmATiONimpOrTANT SAFETy iNFOrmATiON
• The installation location plays an important role in ensuring proper operation.
Therefore, maintain a distance of at least one meter from other electronic
equipment, such as microwave ovens or hi− devices, otherwise they could
cause interference. During continual use the Baby unit power adaptors may
become warm to the touch. This is normal and should not be a concern.
Battery safety
• Batteries represent a hazard to health and the environment!
• They contain toxic, ecologically hazardous heavy metals. Do not dispose of
batteries in a re as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations, never in your household rubbish.
• Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. If
a battery leaks, do not let the battery liquid touch skin or eyes. If this happens,
immediately flush the affected areas with water, and seek medical assistance.
•
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or
immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Risk of suffocation!
Keep all packaging materials and protective foils out of reach of children.
Do not place the AC Adaptor cable in a high "wear and tear" location. Never use a
frayed or compromised cord.
Warning
!

• Use only the batteries supplied with the product. Improper use, or use of

Battery performance
Rechargeable batteries in the Parent unit will last up to 20 hours in normal use. Please note that new
batteries do not reach full capacity until they have been in normal use for several days.
The charge capacity of rechargeable batteries will reduce with time as they wear out, so reducing the
performance time of the Parent unit. Eventually they will need to be replaced. New batteries can be
obtained from the Oricom Digital Baby Monitor Support Centre 1300 889 785.
The Parent unit rechargeable batteries will lose charge over a period of time, even if switched off.
Battery low warning – Parent unit
When the batteries are low – approximately within 1 hour of running out – the Parent unit will emit a
low battery alert and the low battery indicator on the unit will turn red. Place the Parent unit back on
the charger to charge the batteries. To speed up the charging process turn the Parent unit off when
charging if it’s not being used.
You can still use your Parent unit to monitor your baby even when the batteries are low, provided it
remains in the charger cradle to re-charge the batteries.
Baby unit
1. Plug the remaining power adaptor cable into the socket marked on the back
of the Baby unit and plug the other end into the mains power and switch on.

Switch on and link the Parent and Baby units
1. Press and hold the button on the Baby unit for 1 second. The nightlight will
briefly illuminate and then the green Link indicator will flash.
2.
Press and hold the button on the Parent unit until all the LEDs on the unit briefly

Removing the batteries
If you ever need to remove the batteries, simply slide open the battery compartment cover and use the
ribbon to eject the batteries.
Once the units are Linked the green Link light on the top of the Parent unit and
the green LED on the Baby unit will stop flashing and remain a steady green.
The units are now ready to use.
The link conrmation between the two units is vital for use so they can communicate. If
the link between the units is broken at any time, the Link indicators on the Parent and
Baby units will flash green as they try to search for each other. After 30 seconds, if the
link is still broken they will flash red and you will also hear an alert signal from the Parent
unit.
IMPORTANT
Never use non-rechargeable batteries in the Parent unit. Only use the recommended
type – 2 x AA NiMH 1300mAh batteries. Using other types could permanently
damage the unit. Charge the batteries as instructed in this user guide. The Parent
unit can still be used when it is in the charger.

If the link is broken:
• check that the mains power is plugged in and switched on at the Baby unit
• check that both units are switched on
• check that the batteries are charged in the Parent unit
• check that the Parent and Baby units are within range of each other (in ideal
conditions the range is up to 300 metres outdoors and 50m indoors)
Positioning your units
The Baby unit should ideally be within 1m-2m of your baby for best performance.
If you place the Parent and Baby units too close together you will hear a high pitched noise, this is
normal. The units are designed to be located at a distance from one another, e.g. in separate rooms.

Baby sound level LED indicators
The seven LEDs across the top of the Parent unit light up to indicate the level
of sound being received from the Baby unit. The LEDs light up progressively as
the sound increases.
LEDs 1-2 light up Green (or Amber if Mute Low is on, see page 18) when
sounds of 57dB and 63dB are received.
LEDs 3-4 light up Green when sounds of 69dB and 75dB are received.
LEDs 5-7 light up Red when sounds of 83dB, 89dB or 95dB are received.
Equivalent sound level examples:
60dB-70dB = normal conversation
75dB = loud conversation
83-95dB = loud trafc noise
LEDs 1-2 = Green
(or Amber if
Mute Low is on)
LEDs 3-4 = Green LEDs 5-7 = Red

Mute All feature – Parent unit only
The Mute All feature prevents any sound coming from the Parent unit
loudspeaker. With Mute All on you can still monitor your baby using the Baby
sound level LED indicators (page 18) and the Crying Alert (below).

Mute indicator will illuminated red.
2. To switch Mute All off, press the button again. The red Mute indicator will
switch off.
Setting the Parent unit loudspeaker volume to Volume off is the equivalent of switching the Mute All
feature on.
Crying alert
The crying alert will only be activated if Mute All has been switched on (or if the
Parent unit loudspeaker volume has been switched off), see above for information
on the Mute All feature.
With Mute All switched on, if your baby starts to cry you will not be able to hear the
cries but if the cries sound above a certain level i.e. if they reach 83dB, which is the
1st red Baby sound level LED, then the Parent unit will emit an audible beep.
The crying alert is a ‘user alert’ as described on page 23.
Mute Low
For discreet operation when you do not wish to hear any low level sounds, you
can still monitor your baby using the Baby sound level LED indicators (page 18).
