• DO NOT mix old and new batteries.
• DO NOT mix alkaline, standard (carbon zinc), or rechargeable
(nickel-cadmium) batteries.
• Only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended are to be used.
• Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the unit.
• Keep batteries out of child’s reach. Swallowing a battery could be fatal.
• Used batteries should be disposed of properly.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire - they may explode or leak and cause injury.
• Remove batteries when stored for long periods of non-use.
• DO NOT use audio monitor system in portable mode when batteries are low.
• Ensure that the battery compartment is completely secure after replacing batteries.
BATTERY INSTALLATION:
1. Move belt clip out of way. Unscrew battery
compartment cover as shown.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries.
3. Replace the battery compartment cover
and tighten screw. To obtain maximum
performance, ALWAYS use alkaline type
batteries in this monitor.
• Parent Unit is a Receiver. Baby Unit is a Transmitter.
• Check the reception regularly.
• Certain electronic devices are sensitive to magnetic
fields and may be damaged permanently or temporarily
disabled if exposed to a magnetic field that is too strong.
• To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the
adapter "brick." DO NOT pull on the cord, as this could damage it.
• The LEDs emit IR (infra red) light that is not harmful.
This monitor is not intended to be used as a medical monitor and
its use should not replace proper adult supervision. You should
check your child’s activity at regular intervals as this monitor will
not alert parents to the silent activities of a child.
CAUTION!
For indoor use only. To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock,
do not expose this product to water or moisture. NEVER attempt
to disassemble the product. This is dangerous and will void
the warranty.
WARNING!
DO NOT PLACE UNITS IN CRIB OR MOUNT ON CRIB.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
AC ADAPTER
The Parent Unit operates on household electricity with the AC Adapter or
with 3 AAA batteries (not included). The Baby Unit operates on household electricity
with the AC Adapter only. The Parent Unit will automatically convert to AC operation
when used with the AC Adapter. It is not necessary to remove the battery during AC
operation. The Parent Unit will automatically switch back to battery power when plug
is disconnected from the AC Adapter.
The AC Adapter should be used whenever possible on the Parent Unit to save battery
life. This is done by inserting the AC Adapter into the AC Adapter Jack. Then simply
plug the AC Adapter into a nearby standard household outlet (120V AC outlet). The AC
Adapters may become slightly warm to the touch during operation. This is normal.
This AC Adapter is a low voltage power source which allows you to use your house-
hold electricity to run the Baby and Parent Units when it connects to the AC Adapter
Jack in the Parent Unit and in the Baby Unit, and plugs into any standard electrical
outlet in your home.
To remove AC adapter from the outlet, firmly grasp the adapter "brick."
DO NOT pull on the cord, as this could damage it.
CAUTION: This AC Adapter was made with a specific design for the Safety 1st
Monitor. It cannot be used with any other appliance, and never use a different type
of adapter with this Monitor.

Baby Unit (Transmitter):
PROPER POSITIONING
IMPORTANT: When choosing locations to set up the Baby Unit and Parent Unit, follow
these guidelines:
• For best sound quality, place Baby Unit 6 feet (2 meters) away from the baby.
• Adjust volume dial on Parent Unit to appropriate level to minimize feedback.
• During use of the monitor, sound quality deteriorates as you reach the
limits of the monitor's range. If this happens, you will need to move the
Parent Unit in closer proximity to the Baby Unit.
• Adjust the volume to a comfortable level for your environment.
The first time you use your monitoring system, two adults should test it in the
following way:
• Place Parent Unit at least 20 ft. (6m) away from Baby Unit.
• Have an adult speak into Baby Unit at various levels (soft to loud)
while another adult checks Parent Unit for the proper sound reception.
Try Parent Unit in every location that it will be used.
Care and Cleaning:
Use a soft, dry cloth to keep your monitor free from dust.
DO NOT immerse product in water.
IMPORTANT:
Use household electricity whenever possible. When the AC Adapter is used with your
household electricity, you will find that the power is stronger and more consistent than
when you rely solely on the battery. Range and sound quality also depends on the
construction of your house. Steel reinforced wall, for example, reduces the effective
range of the monitor. Conserve the battery so you will have power when you don’t
have easy access to AC outlets.
Make sure that both Units are on the same channel.
Even though you may hear you baby’s sounds, proper use of this system requires that
both Units must be on the same channel. If the Units are on different channels, the
signals from the Baby Unit may still be strong enough to be picked up by the Parent
Unit, but there will be a lot of static.
When not using the Unit, remove AC Adapter
and be sure the power button is “OFF”.
When you are not using the AC Adapter, remove it from the Unit and store it in a safe,
dry place until you need it again. If the AC Adapter is plugged into the Parent Unit but
not being used in an electrical outlet, the AC Adapter will prevent battery operation
of the Unit.
When using the AC Adapter with household electricity,
make sure the outlet is “ON”.
Some electrical outlets are powered through a switch in the room. If the Baby Unit is
plugged in and turned “ON”, the power indicator light should be lit. If it is not, try
turning the light switch in the room “ON”.

VENTILATION: The Monitor should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in an
enclosed installation, such as a book case or cabinet that may impede
the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
• Position the Transmitter, Receiver and AC adapters to allow adequate
ventilation and prevent these components from overheating.
HEAT: The Monitor should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances that produce heat.
Also keep these components out of direct sunlight.
POWER SOURCE: The Monitor should be connected to a power supply
only of the type described in these operating instructions.
POWER CORD PROTECTION: The power supply cord should be routed so
that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against it. Pay particular attention to the cord at the plug, convenience
receptacle, and at the point it exits from the Monitor. NOTE: Do not
place adapter under a window where a child might use it to step
on and reach something that might be dangerous.
• Check to make sure outlet plates are not unusually hot to the touch.
If they are, immediately unplug cords from these outlets. Check that
all outlet connections are in good condition so that adapter is not loose
or that no wiring is exposed. Have a qualified, licensed electrician
check the wiring as soon as possible.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY: Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall onto, and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
the openings.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE: The Monitor should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the product; or

a marked change in its performance; or
E. The Monitor has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
To protect your privacy, always turn the monitor off when not in use.
