Features & Specs - Safety 1st Glow & Go 08022
Type Analog monitors operate much like a radio, sending signals from monitor to receiver in a straight shot. Digital monitors encode the signal as it travels between the monitor and the receiver, making it nearly impossible for the sounds to be heard by others. Type	Analog
Frequency band Frequency band is the wavelength at which the unit operates. Frequency band	49 MHz
Sound lights Lights on the monitor turn on when the baby cries; the louder he cries, the more lights light up. This lets you turn the volume down and still know when the baby is crying, or, if you are in a very noisy room, you'll see the lights and know when baby is awake or crying. Sound lights	Yes
Out of range indicator This is a light or beep that lets you know definitively that you've reached the range limit of the monitor, and won't be able to hear if your child cries. Out of range indicator	No
Link indicator This is a light or beep that is a definite indicator that the parent and baby unit are 'linked' or 'not linked' i.e. communicating. Link indicator	No
Baby unit has battery option To avoid risk of injury. Babies have been injured and strangled by baby monitor cords placed too close to the crib where the child was able to reach them. If using a baby unit with a cord, be sure to keep it well out of arm's reach of the baby. Baby unit has battery option	Yes
Rechargeable batteries Rechargeable batteries may save parents money over time, especially those who rely on batteries more than AC power for the receiver(s). Rechargeable batteries	No
Talk to baby from parent unit This feature allows the parent to push a button and talk to the baby, alerting him/her that mom or dad is on the way. Talk to baby from parent unit	No
Low battery indicator This is a light (or an icon on an LCD display) that lets you know the batteries in your parent unit are running low. Low battery indicator	No
Music/lullabies Some models feature lullabies and/or other soothing music that will play for your baby at the push of a button. Music/lullabies	No
Temperature readout Displays the temperature in the baby's room. Temperature readout	Yes
Night light Some models have a simple nightlight on the baby's unit. Night light	Yes
