Warnings

Ensure you read this user guide before installing and using the product.

Babysense is a high quality, high sensitivity electronic device which must be handled with care:

• Do not handle roughly, drop or throw.

• Follow the installation instruction carefully to ensure that it is installed securely and correctly.

• Babysense is not a toy. Do not allow children of any age to play with it.

• Do not put any additional baby or pet in the bed.

Babysense cannot be used for two infants in one bed.

• You must undertake the performance test daily of the Babysense monitor (as set out on page 3).

• Do not operate vaporizer or ventilator directly towards the bed.

• To avoid possible danger from sensor cords, ensure that excess cords are pulled back under the mattress, secured with the included cable tie and are not visible or reachable.

• Install 4 new and identical size AA 1.5 volt batteries, preferably alkaline.

• IMPORTANT: It is strongly advised that every caregiver learn how to give first aid.

Please note

"Babysense" monitors and alerts, but cannot prevent cessation of breathing. The responsibility for applying first aid rests on caretakers. The "Babysense" senses breathing movements and motion only, and cannot monitor other occurrences. The purpose of the device is to alert when stopping or slowing of breathing and movement occur.

"Babysense" is a unique safety system which has helped save infants, giving parents (or caretaker) assurance, by enabling intervention in the event of irregular breathing movement or distress, before it becomes critical. There are a number of cautionary steps which are internationally recommended for SAFE SLEEPING:

* Always lay baby to sleep on his or her back.

* Refrain from smoking near or around baby.

* Avoid over-heating of baby's surrounding.

* Do not leave any objects near your baby that can cause suffocation.

Babysense is an addition to these precautions.

"Babysense" is a home breathing movement monitor for basically healthy infants up to one year of age, and is not to be relied on for use with high-risk infants requiring constant medical supervision.

Principal Of Operation

"Babysense" continually detects baby's motion and breathing movements, and will set off a sound and visual alarm if movement stops for 20 seconds or if the breathing rate slows to below 10 breaths per minute.

The system's non-touch sensor pads under the mattress monitor baby's movement without restraining him.

Testing Operation

"Babysense" is a highly sensitive device which monitors baby's breathing movements through the mattress during sleep. There are two main causes of malfunction - technical malfunctions and malfunctions due to environmental factors.

Technical malfunction

In order to minimize technical problems, follow installation and operation instructions carefully.

Environmentally caused malfunction

Due to the high sensitivity of "Babysense" , it can be influenced by fans, wind, air conditioning, and so forth. Such environmental effects could be picked up by the sensors on a similar level to that of breathing movements, thus preventing or delaying alarm activation.

Conduct this performance test daily

Do not conduct performance test by picking up baby out of bed and waiting for the alarm to sound

• The performance test should be conducted while baby is not in bed.

• Turn device on and take two steps back from bed.

• Ensure that alarm goes off within 20 seconds

(due to absence of breathing movements).

• The alarm may sound with or without preliminary ticking.

• Check that alarm can be heard in all locations throughout the home or place of care.

• In case that alarm does not sound within 20 seconds refer to troubleshooting at page 5.

• Performance test must be conducted daily.

False alarms

Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. Check if caused by faulty connection of the sensor pad(s) to the control unit, connection of only one sensor pad when baby can move off the immediate area, connection of two sensor pads far apart from each other when baby not crawling yet, or failure of the sensor pads to be directly against the mattress.

In case of false alarms, kindly refer to troubleshooting guide. If the problem cannot be solved, please contact your nearest BABYSENSE representative.

In the event of alarm

Act immediately according to the following:

1. Approach the bed and check that baby is breathing.

Note pallor (color of skin), muscle tone and movement.

2.

If baby does not seem normal, pinch baby's heel and check that there is no cause for choking, such as an object lodged in baby’s throat.

When breathing resumes, consult a doctor.

3. If breathing does not resume, apply first aid and seek medical assistance immediately.

Troubleshooting Guide

Symptom

Lights on Control Unit don’t illuminate when turned ON

Low battery voltage warning (red light) on the Control Unit

False alarm up to 1/2 minute from activating

Possible Cause

• Batteries are not inserted correctly or may be flat.

• Batteries low.

False alarm after 1/2 minute from activating

Delayed alarms while taking the baby out of the bed

The alarm does not go off within

20 seconds when performing the correct performance test

Solution

• Check batteries are inserted in the Control Unit observing the correct polarity.

• Control Unit requires 4 X AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries (not supplied).

• Replace all 4 batteries.

• Sensor pad is out of order.

• Cable is connected to monitor’s blocked socket.

• The mattress is not touching the sensor pads.

• The mattress is raised

(there is an object near the sensor pads).

• Placing two sensors next to each other (or using one sensor) when the baby is of crawling age or using two sensor pads far apart from each other when baby is young and is not crawling yet.

• The mattress does not enable transfer of baby movements. (a rigid mattress, a mattress with springs or a mattress with air pockets).

• Connect one sensor pad lay the baby on the bed for 1 minute.

If the alarm does not activate, the sensor pad is in order. If the alarm activates, disconnect and place the sensor pad aside.

• Connect the other sensor pad and repeat steps above.

• Do not connect any cables to the blocked socket (only to “SENSOR” socket).

• Make sure that the mattress and the sensor pads are touching.

• Make sure that there are no objects next to the sensor pads

• Connect according to instructions.

• It is important to use only one sensor pad when the baby is young and is not crawling yet.

• It is important to make sure that two sensor pads are used when is moving around.

• Place extra plywood under the sensor pad so that the

the baby

• Make sure the sensors are placed underneath baby’s location in bed/crib.

sensor pad and the mattress will be tightly pressed together.

• Performance test is not correct.

• Do not conduct performance test by picking up the baby out of bed and waiting for the alarm to sound.

Kindly conduct performance test according to guidance in page 3.

• Environmental influences detected by the sensor pads, such as wind, fan, air conditioner, mobile, vibrations.

• Perform a test which will detect the source of the movement that the device detects. For example, sources of wind such as: air conditioner, an open window or a fan; movements of a baby mobile

(which can vibrate even if it's not turned on) walking around the bed area or an intercom placed near the bed with intense transmission levels. Solutions: Eliminate sources of wind, remove the mobile etc. After neutralizing all environmental influences, perform the test again. If even after neutralizing all of the environmental influences, the alarm does not go off within 20 seconds, perform the following:

1.

In the back of the sensor pads (see illustration 1) reduce the sensitivity level to position 2 (on both sensor pads) and perform again the Performance Test. If the alarm sounds within 20 seconds, than keep this sensitivity level.

2.

If the alarm does not go off in time, than reduce the sensitivity level to position 1 and perform again the Performance Test. If the alarm sounds within 20 seconds, than keep this sensitivity level.

3.

If the alarm does not go off in time at this level, than it is suggested using only one sensor pad with the sensitivity level adjusted on position 1.

4.

PAY ATTENTION: Should false alarms sound as a result of reduced sensitivity, than increase the level of sensitivity and perform the

Performance Test.
