Sound Monitor
Model# SM1005
This NEW Silent Call Sound Monitor uses advanced technology that allows longer battery life and a low battery
indicator light to warn you in plenty of time, so that you can replace or recharge your batteries. Please read all of
the instructions thoroughly before using your Sound Monitor.
Installation
1. Remove your Sound Monitor from the packaging.
2. Place the Sound Monitor close to the sound source, but not within a baby’s reach, that you want to monitor,
as possible. For example, place it on a dresser next to a baby’s bed or next to a telephone, alarm clock or
apartment doorbell speaker.
3. The Sound Monitor can be mounted to any flat surface with the supplied Velcro strips. This step is not
necessary if you will be moving the Sound Monitor from location to location.
4. Avoid placing the Sound Monitor on a metallic surface. Metal will interfere with the signal transmission
and shorten the signal range.
5. All Silent Call equipment leaves the factory with the dip switches set to the default address which is 1=off,
2=off, 3=off, 4=on, 5=on. The ON direction is marked on the dip switch with a small arrow. This setting
must match the dip switches on your Silent Call Receiver exactly for your equipment to work together. The
dip switches are located inside the battery door.
6. These settings can be changed if you are using your equipment within range of another Silent Call system,
so that the two systems do not interfere with each other. The only rules are do not set your dip switches to
the all “ON” position or the all “OFF” position and do not change the position of switches 6,7,8 & 9.
Operation
1. Slide the on/off switch on the side of the Sound Monitor to the ON position. The LED will flash once to
indicate the Sound Monitor is operational.
2. Any continuous sound that is loud enough will cause the Sound Monitor to activate and send a signal to any
Silent Call receiver (except Shakeup) within the 100-500 foot range depending on which receiver you are
using.
3. The Sound Monitor is designed so that brief sounds such as door slams, regardless of how loud they are,
will not activate the Sound Monitor.
4. The Sound Monitor leaves the factory set to 50% sensitivity, which should be adequate for almost all
situations. If for some reason the sensitivity needs to be changed, there is an adjustment located behind the
battery door. Rotating the adjustment clockwise increases the sensitivity.
5. There is a low battery indicator light located on the front on the transmitter. When the battery is low, the
Red LED will flash continually to let you know that the batteries will need to be replaced soon.
