What are Cry Alerts?
Babies make all sorts of sounds, from gurgling and snuffling to chatting and crying. Cry alerts won’t alert you to every little snuffle, but only when your child is making a loud noise. A cry alert only sounds when the Parent unit is on mute (by setting the parent unit volume to zero).
Important: If the screen’s off or in sleep mode, it will come on when there is a cry alert. If your baby settles, a cry alert will stop automatically after 30 seconds.
What happens if there’s more than one alert? You’ll always see the latest one on the screen. If you dismiss the latest alert you’ll see the previous one.
The threshold level to activate a Crying Alert is 83dBA SPL or the first red indicator on the Parent Unit
