The reer projector baby monitor, item no. 50080, is a sophisticated device designed to provide parents with peace of mind by monitoring their baby. This system consists of two main units: a baby unit (transmitter) and a parent unit (receiver), both engineered for clear and reliable communication.
Function Description:
The primary function of the reer projector baby monitor is to transmit sounds made by the baby to the parent unit, ensuring parents are alerted to their child's needs. It incorporates modern FHSS technology, which guarantees interference-free transmission and a secure, private connection between the units. Beyond basic sound monitoring, the baby unit features an integrated star projector and a lullaby function, designed to soothe the baby. The parent unit includes an intercom function, allowing parents to speak to and calm their child remotely. An in-built temperature sensor in the baby unit measures the ambient room temperature, which is then displayed on the parent unit, providing an additional layer of monitoring. The device is suitable for both stationary and mobile use, thanks to its optional battery operation.
Usage Features:
Parent Unit (Receiver):
The parent unit is the control center for parents. It features a clear display and several intuitive controls.
- Navigation Keys (Up/Down): These keys are used for navigating menus and adjusting settings. They also control the volume of music or the intercom function. When playback/intercom is deactivated, they adjust microphone sensitivity.
- Lullaby Playback Button: This button initiates the lullaby function. The parent unit offers 6 different lullabies, which can be selected using the arrow keys. Lullabies play for 20 minutes and automatically restart if the baby cries after 15 seconds.
- Microphone: Allows parents to speak to their baby via the intercom function.
- Micro USB Charging Connector: For charging the parent unit's built-in Li-ion battery. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours.
- Settings Button: Used to enter the settings mode and save entries.
- Speaker: Outputs sounds from the baby unit and lullabies.
- Intercom Button: Press and hold to activate the intercom function, allowing parents to speak to their child. A brief press activates a 10-second transmission from the baby unit.
- On/Off/Vibrate Rotary Switch: This switch turns the parent unit on and off. It also allows selection of a vibration mode, which alerts parents with a vibration when sound is detected, useful in noisy environments or when an acoustic alarm is not desired.
Baby Unit (Transmitter):
The baby unit is placed near the baby and is equipped with features to monitor and soothe the child.
- On/Off Switch: Powers the baby unit on and off.
- Microphone: Highly sensitive, it picks up the baby's sounds for transmission to the parent unit. Microphone sensitivity can be adjusted to 5 levels.
- Micro USB Input for Power Supply: For connecting the mains adapter to power the unit or charge optional AAA batteries.
- Volume Keys (+/-): Used to adjust the volume of the lullabies or intercom function.
- Indicator Light/Low Battery Indicator: Shows the operating status (green for on, blinking green for low battery, red for charging).
- Transmission Indicator: Lights up red when the baby unit is transmitting sound.
- Feed Alarm Button: Initiates a countdown for a feed alarm, which can be set for intervals between 1 and 8 hours.
Key Functional Options:
- Projector Control: The projector can be controlled from the parent unit, offering continuous operation, power off, or VOX mode. In VOX mode, the projection activates when sound is detected and turns off a few seconds after silence. The projection works best at approximately 1 meter from a ceiling or wall. The baby unit has a fold-out stand for stability when projecting onto a wall.
- Eco Mode: This mode allows the baby unit to not emit any signal while in standby, conserving energy. However, it deactivates the out-of-range alarm.
- Temperature Alarms: Parents can set upper and lower temperature limits. If the room temperature falls outside this range, an alarm will sound.
- Coupling: Units are factory-coupled, but a re-coupling process is available if connection is lost. This involves specific button presses on both units to re-establish a secure link.
- Volume Adjustment: The volume of the parent unit's speaker can be adjusted from 0 (mute) to 5 (loud).
- Out-of-Range Alarm: If the parent unit loses signal from the baby unit for more than 30 seconds (and Eco mode is off), an acoustic alarm sounds, and a symbol flashes on the screen.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Operation: Both units can operate on batteries for mobility. The parent unit has a built-in rechargeable Li-ion battery, while the baby unit can use optional AAA batteries.
- Charging Indicators: The parent unit's power indicator lights red during charging and green when fully charged or in operation. A blinking green light indicates a low battery.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues such as no transmission, permanent transmission, constant range alarm, low battery indicator, quick battery drain, and no connection between units. This guide offers possible causes and recommended actions, such as adjusting sensitivity, checking power supply, replacing batteries, reducing distance between units, or re-coupling.
- Environmental Protection: The device is designed with environmental considerations, advising users to recycle the product and its components at designated collection points at the end of its life, rather than disposing of it with normal domestic waste. Used batteries should be disposed of as hazardous waste or at battery collection stations.
The reer projector baby monitor is designed for ease of use and reliability, providing parents with essential monitoring capabilities and comforting features for their baby.
