Abstract:
1. A light display apparatus for an infant monitor receiver including an antenna operable to receive a signal indicative of sound received by an infant monitor transmitter, the light display apparatus comprising: a plurality of individual light sources; a plurality of elongated light transmitting portions, each of the light transmitting portions including a first end, a second end, and an exterior surface, the exterior surface being positioned between the first end and the second end, and each of the elongated light transmitting portions being associated with only one of the light sources at its first end such that the illumination of one of the light sources transmits light through an associated elongated light transmitting portion from its first end to its second end and radiates light outward from its exterior surface, wherein the illumination of each light source is in response to receiving the signal indicative of sound, the signal corresponding to a monitored sound level or intensity, and wherein the illumination of each of the light sources is sequential as the monitored sound level or intensity increases; and a light display try-me switch operable to sequentially illuminate the plurality of individual light sources in the absence of receipt of the signal indicative of sound received by the infant monitor transmitter.
