IMPORTANT:
To avoid possible danger from dangling sensor cords, collect excess cord length with the included tie.
False alarms:
Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. Check if caused by
faulty connection of the sensor pads to the control unit or
failure of the sensor pads to be directly against the mattress
and touching.

Caution:
Babysense monitors and alerts, but cannot prevent any type
of distress. The responsibility for assistance rests on you.
Babysense senses movements and motion only, and cannot
monitor other occurrences. The purpose of the device is to
alert you when stopping or slowing of movement occur.
V.BS2.01.US.6.11
1. Make sure the sensitivity adjustor, located on the back of the sensor pads, is positioned on level 3 (see illustration
1). This will ensure the maximum sensitivity level for the young babies and thus will avoid false alarms.
2. Place the two round sensor pads as shown in illustration 2 (see following note on newborns) on the solid flat base
of the crib or bed . Place mattress firmly on top of sensor pads. If the bed base is soft, padded or contains springs,
simply place a solid board on the bed base, place the sensor pads on the board and place the mattress firmly on top.
3. Remove battery cover (see illustration 4), remove battery housing and insert 4AA batteries (1.5 volt, preferably
alkaline) according to markings. Replace housing and close cover.
4. Attach the cords of the two sensor pads to the double-socket of the connecting cable. Attach end of connecting
cable to the outlet marked “SENSOR IN” on the control unit. Do not connect any cables to the blocked socket.
(see illustration 3).
5. Press hanging bracket firmly into slot in back of control unit (see illustration 4) and hang from the bottom of the
bed, or anywhere out of baby’s reach.
Installation
See illustration 3 for layout of control unit featuring:
1. On/off button under protective cover.
2. Motion-activated green light.
3. Red alarm light, activated if baby’s movement stops or slows significantly.
4. Low battery warning light.
To operate, press on/off button. When switched on, the control lights switch on briefly and a click is heard. When
movement is detected, the green light flashes. If red low-battery warning light flashes (see illustration 3), replace
batteries as soon as possible. If additional clicking noise is heard, batteries must be replaced immediately. Turn off
by pressing on/off button.

Note on installation for newborns
(until your baby starts to crawl):
When using for infant not yet able to crawl, place the two sensor pads next to each other.
When your baby begins to move around, moving onto areas not “covered” by the sensor pads, increase the
distance between the sensor pads as shown in illustration 2.

How to Test Operation and Setup
Babysense is an extremely sensitive device which monitors baby’s every movement through the mattress during
sleep. There are two main causes of malfunction - technical or environmental.
Locating and dealing with surrounding interferences:
If the alarm does not sound after 20 seconds, and/or green light flashes when baby is not in bed, eliminate all
surrounding interferences by such actions as changing ventilation, removing mobiles, closing windows, or
repositioning bed. For more information see Troubleshooting Guide.
In order to minimize technical problems, follow installation and operation instructions carefully.
Environmentally caused malfunction:
Due to the extreme sensitivity of the Babysense monitor, it may be influenced by vibrations caused by fans, wind, air
conditioners and such. Vibrating sources may be picked up by the movement sensor on a similar level to that of
slight movements, thus preventing or delaying alarm activation. See below note on surrounding interfernces.
Technical malfunction:
Conduct this test daily, and every time you move the monitor.
• Check that when baby is in the bed, the green light flashes.
• Remove baby from bed and turn off device. After turning off, wait 1 minutes while the mattress
shifts due to removal of the baby’s weight.
• Turn device on again without moving the bed (without baby in bed) and step away from the bed.
• Watch for green light - blinking will indicate that surrounding interferences are being read as false
movement recordings. This must be corrected (see below).
• Make sure that alarm sounds within 20 seconds (due to absence of movement). The alarm may
sound in less than 20 seconds, and can be with or without preliminary ticking.
• Check that alarm can be heard in all likely locations for listener.
