question about angelcare monitor

[lucylookout]

We have an angelcare monitor. The baby unit is upstairs in our room by cot. The parent unit is downstairs in living room. When I feed DS at night, I turn the baby unit off before picking him up, but that means the parent unit downstairs beeps loudly, disturbing DH and DS. Is there a better way of doing it? Thanks

Bump. Anyone?

Turn off the parent monitor first? I've just asked my DH and he says ours only beeps momentarily unless the battery is running down so not sure how it's disturbing them. Is it a continuous beep?

I think the parent unit is beeping because it can't detect a signal from the baby unit (cos you've turned it off!). What we do is to change the parent unit to sound only (i.e no motion detection) before picking up DD, then the alarm doesn't go off. If your DH and DS don't want to listen to the baby being fed, they can always turn the volume down

Lucidlady, it beeps every 5 seconds or so. Like sahmbles says, it's because it can't detect the signal from the baby unit.

Sahmbles, so you take your parent unit into the bedroom with you at bedtime? Not sure I'll be able to press that many buttons in my sleepy fug. Quite a few times I've forgotten altogether and have then had to dive at the baby unit to turn it off quickly after hearing the first loud beep that precedes the alarm!

Have you got the "out of range" alert on? Try turning that off.

Ours doesn't beep when we switch the baby unit off but there is a hold button on the parent unit, also if you aren't using the parent unit you can turn it off, the baby alarm will still go off (I've tested :) )

Thanks! Am going to have a play today and see what'll work best
