WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE SOUND+SLEEP MINI?
Adaptive Modes and Manual Mode
In Internal Audio Mode (when no audio cable is attached) the Adaptive Button
switches between Adaptive Mode and Manual Mode. There are two Adaptive
Modes, Fast and Slow. The light next to the Adaptive Button is Red in Fast
Adaptive Mode, Green in Slow Adaptive Mode, and o when in Manual Mode.
In Adaptive Mode, MINI adapts to noise in your room. It listens for disruptive
noises and raises the volume and/or adds enhancing secondary sounds to the
SoundStory when it detects intrusive noises.
In Manual Mode the unit still listens but does not signifi cantly change its volume
in response to noise. Instead, it maintains a relatively constant volume level
determined by the Volume Up/Down Buttons.
Using Adaptive Features
The Adaptive Button allows the unit to be customized to suit personal
preference and each situation. You might prefer a quiet, steady sound and
use Manual Mode, especially if there is little noise, or steady noise, in your
environment. However, you might need the additional masking that Adaptive
Mode provides. If you fi nd MINI responds to noises too abruptly try the
Slow Adaptive Mode or turn the adaptive feature o . Experiment to fi nd
the settings you like best.
Note: When setting the volume in Adaptive Mode you are setting the
maximum volume it can reach when it detects a loud noise. Turn it up!
