Setting the baby alarm

Before you try out your new baby monitor, there are a few things you should pay special attention to before use.

• You should set the temperature so that you know when it's too hot and too cold for baby. Several alarms can be manually set so that it will beep when the temperature reaches what it is set to. For example, the minimum temperature can be set to -8 degrees, as it is not suggested that babies sleep outside at -10 degrees. It thus gives you a warning about the temperature itself.
• On several baby monitors, the microphone sensitivity can be adjusted depending on whether the monitor is close to baby or further away. It may be a good idea to look into this so that not all the noise goes through the alarm when it is in use, but only what you need to hear. Remember to check the microphone sensitivity each time you use the alarm, as sleeping patterns can vary depending on where you are with baby.
• The most important thing when setting the baby monitor is the range. Pay attention to whether both units find each other. On some baby monitors you can press "parent unit" see if "baby unit" is on. Here, most will either beep or flash if it can't catch the signal. Just be aware of this.
