  Steven DaltonAug 19, 2025
  If your Angelcare Baby Monitor is giving false alarms, there are several potential causes and solutions: * The sensitivity level of the Sensor Pad might be too low. In this case, increase the sensitivity level. * Ensure the Sensor Pad is in full contact with the crib and resting on a flat, firm mattress surface, with no bedding in between. * Check that the Sensor Pad cord is properly connected to the Nursery Unit by unplugging and reconnecting it. * It may also help to turn the Nursery Unit off.

  Jermaine HeathAug 28, 2025
  If the alarm on your Angelcare Baby Monitor isn't sounding, here are a few things to check: * Ensure the Nursery Unit isn't detecting movement from the crib being touched; avoid contact when the monitor is on. * Make sure the Nursery Unit isn't picking up movement from outside the crib, such as motorized devices or strong drafts. If this is the case, place the crib near a solid wall and turn off any devices causing vibrations. You may also need to decrease the sensitivity. * The Sensor Pad sensitivity level might be set too high, so try decreasing it.

  If your Angelcare Security Sensor is giving false alarms, try these solutions: * Turn the Nursery Unit off, then on again. * Increase the sensitivity level (refer to the Movement Sensitivity Adjustment section). * Ensure there is no thick bedding between the mattress and the Sensor Pad. The Sensor Pad must rest on a firm surface. If the crib has a spring or slat base, place a piece of Masonite board measuring at least 13” (33cm) on all four sides and 1/4” (0.64cm) thick. * Unplug and reconnect the cord.
