    What to do if my Angelcare AC401 has feedback?
    • S
      Sherry CunninghamSep 8, 2025
      If you are experiencing ‘feedback’ (a loud howling noise) from the Parent Unit of your Angelcare Baby Monitor, it is likely that the Parent Unit and the Nursery Unit are too close together. To resolve this, keep the Parent and Nursery Units at least 3 metres/10 feet apart. You can also decrease the volume level on the Parent Unit.

    Why does my Angelcare AC401 Baby Monitor have false alarms?
    • J
      John PhillipsAug 23, 2025
      False alarms on your Angelcare Baby Monitor can occur for several reasons: - The baby was removed from the crib, and the nursery unit was not switched off. In this case, turn off the nursery unit. - The sensor pad cord is not properly connected to the nursery unit. Unplug and reconnect the cord. - The sensor pad is not in full contact with the crib mattress or crib pad. Ensure the sensor pad rests on a completely flat and rigid mattress. - The baby is in a very deep sleep or has moved away from the sensor pad to the edge of the crib. Make sure the sensor pad is positioned as described in the section on how to operate your Angelcare monitor.

    • C
      Colton WalkerAug 25, 2025
      Loud feedback noises from the parent unit of your Angelcare Baby Monitor can be caused by: - The units being too close to each other. Move the units farther apart, at least 3 meters (10 feet). - The volume on the parent unit may be too high. Decrease the volume.

    Why does my Angelcare Baby Monitor have intermittent sound?
    • S
      stephenthorntonSep 7, 2025
      If the sound transmission on your Angelcare Baby Monitor is intermittent, it's likely because the sound transmission is set to ‘Voice Activated.’ This means it will only transmit if the microphone on the Nursery Unit detects a certain level of sound. To fix this, you can increase the microphone sensitivity if you want to keep ‘Voice Activated’ sound transmission, or you can switch to ‘Continuous’ sound transmission.

    Why is there no sound coming from my Angelcare AC401 Baby Monitor?
    • D
      dylan84Sep 4, 2025
      If there's no sound being transmitted from your Angelcare Baby Monitor, several factors could be at play. If the sound transmission is set to ‘Voice Activated’ and the microphone icon is visible, the sound in the baby’s room might not be loud enough; try increasing the microphone sensitivity or activating ‘Continuous’ sound transmission. Ensure the units are properly connected; if the Parent Unit shows a flashing Nursery Unit and ‘- -‘, re-establish the connection. Check and replace batteries or recharge the Parent Unit if they're low or incorrectly installed. Verify that all AC adapters are working correctly and the mains socket is turned on. Finally, make sure both units are turned on.
