To configure the Universal Monitor as a Baby Alarm for deaf and hard of hearing people see the steps below.
Step 1
Move control switches 5 & 13 to the On position as illustrated.
Step 2
Switch audio delay keys as required to the On position. Key 8 shown in the On position.
Key 7 = 0.5 second
Key 8 = 1.5 second
Keys 7 & 8 = 2 seconds
Step 3
Turn the sensitivity control to the position shown. It may be necessary to fine-tune this setting.
Step 4
Attach a 9-volt Alkaline Battery and or Power Supply. Plug the Power Supply into a nearby mains socket and switch the socket on. It is likely that the unit will trigger during handling and send a signal to the Pager or SignWave, this is normal.
NOTE: There is a period of 12 seconds after the unit has been triggered where the unit will do nothing. This is referred to as the lockout period and should be taken into account when setting up the unit.
It is recommended that a Power Supply be used without a battery. In this way the Baby Alarm can be deactivated, simply by turning the unit off at the mains when it is not required. If a battery is used with or without a Power Supply the sensitivity control will need to be moved to the off position then returned to the correct position when required.
Step 5
Place the Monitor on either a flat surface or attach it to a wall using the Velcro or screw fittings, approximately 6 feet (2 metres) from the Baby’s cot.
Step 6
Make an noise or Blow the Silent Alert setup whistle close to the Baby’s Cot and observe the status light. When the monitor detects a sound the light will shine amber. When the delay period of 0.5, 1.5 or 2 seconds is exceeded the light will change to green and the monitor will send a baby signal to either the Pager or SignWave.
Key 7 = Half second Delay
Key 8 = 1 and 1/2 second Delay
Key 7+8 = two second Delay
