FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF YOUR TOMY
WALKABOUT CLASSIC ADVANCE
CONNECTION STATUS
The Parent and Baby Unit will automatically try to connect to each other upon switching on.
No Connection
Should your monitor be unable to establish a connection or should the connection break during
transmission for a period of more than one minute a continuing beep will sound (through the parent unit)
until a connection is re-established.To re-establish a connection move the units back within range and if
necessary change to another channel. Should a connection not be made after 5 minutes the Baby Unit will
automatically switch off.
COMMUNICATION RANGE
Your monitor has been carefully designed to operate at its best within a generous 300 metre range*
(suitable for the majority of household environments).
Moving the units within 2 metres of each other will result in the parent unit automatically switching to
mute, to avoid any annoying feedback.
The range and general quality of reception may vary depending on battery power and number of
obstructions such as walls, buildings etc.
For best performance we recommend both Units are operated using the mains adaptors supplied.
Although this monitor has a range of 300 meters (in optimum conditions) a baby should never be left
unattended at a distance which could delay prompt adult attention.
Out of range
As maximum range is reached, the Parent Unit will automatically switch the speaker to mute (to avoid hearing
a loud hiss) and the continuous beeping 'loss of connection' alarm will sound after 1 minute of no contact.
CHANNEL SELECTION
You can select one of the four channels to give you the best possible sound quality by pressing the
'CHANNEL SELECT' Button on the Parent Unit
SECURE & PRIVATE TRANSMISSION
Unique transmission and scrambled audio between the Parent and Baby Units ensures total privacy.
PORTABLE USE
The Baby Unit requires 4 x AA (LR6) 1.5v batteries, the Parent Unit requires 3 X AA (LR6) 1.5v batteries.
Please note; batteries are not included.
To insert batteries into either unit unscrew the battery compartment cover
required batteries ensuring the '+' & '-' are positioned correctly (see images opposite). Replace the
compartment cover; you are now ready for portable use.
We recommend the use of disposable alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries will give inferior performance.
For best performance we recommend both units are operated using the mains adaptors supplied.
Always remove batteries from both Units if using the mains adaptors for long periods of time.
