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 instructions 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 a vaporiser 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.
Babysense
monitors and alerts, but cannot prevent
any type of distress. The responsibility for assistance and
applying first aid rests on caretakers, who must personally
check the baby as often as necessary.
Babysense
senses
movements and motion only, and cannot
monitor other occurrences. The purpose of the device
is to alert when stopping or slowing of movement
occur.
Babysense
is a unique safety and reassurance system
which helps give parents peace of mind, alerting if
movements stop or become irregularly slow, giving
critical time to intervene. There are a number of
cautionary steps which are internationally
recommended for
SAFE SLEEPING
:
* Always lay your baby to sleep on his or her back.
* Refrain from smoking near or around your baby.
* Avoid over-heating of the baby's surroundings.
* Do not leave any objects near your baby that can
cause suffocation.
Babysense is an addition to these precautions.
Babysense
is a movement monitor for home use,
intended for basically healthy infants up to one year
of age, and is not to be relied on for use with premature
or high-risk infants requiring constant medical supervision.
Babysense
continually detects the baby's motion
and movements, and will set off a sound and visual
alarm if movement stops for 20 seconds or if
the monitor detects less than 10 micro-
movements per minute. The system's non-touch
sensor pads under the mattress monitor baby's
movement without restraining him.
1.
Insert, in accordance with the markings, 4 new and
identical size AA 1.5 volt batteries, preferable alkaline.
Close the battery cover.
Note:
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Note:
For replacing the batteries, remove the battery
cover by inserting a flat screwdriver into the opening
recess (see illustration 7).
Note:
Please dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local waste regulations.
2.
Place the control unit holder on the base of the
crib or bed and in between two bars as shown in
illustration 1.

.
Sensor pad installation:
• When using for an infant not yet able to crawl, place
one sensor pad as shown in illustration 2. Make sure the
sensor is placed underneath the baby's position in the
crib.
• When the baby begins to crawl, and is able to move
onto areas not "covered" by a single sensor pad, attach
the second sensor and place the two sensors as shown
in illustration 2.
PLEASE NOTE:
The sensors shall be placed with the
marking “THIS SIDE UP” facing upwards.
Warnings
Principal Of Operation
Installation
Please note
7. Should the design of the crib/bed not allow proper
installation with the control unit holder, please use the
optional hanging hook (see illustration 6) and hang the
control unit from the bottom edge of the crib.
8. Press the control unit holder or hanging hook firmly
into the slot in the back of the control unit (see
illustration 5 and 6).
9.
Place the mattress firmly on top of the sensor
pads. If the mattress cannot be in contact with the
sensor pads, or if the bed base is soft, padded or
contains springs, place extra plywood on the bed
base, place the sensor pads on the plywood and
place the mattress firmly on top (see section 4).
IMPORTANT
: 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.
See illustration 8 for layout of control unit featuring:
• On/Off button.
• Blue movement indicator light.
• Acoustic and visual red alarm light.
• Low battery red warning light.
Babysense
is ready for operation and use once the
installation is complete. To operate, follow the
below instructions:
• Place your baby in the crib/bed.
•
Press the On/Off button to turn on the control unit.
• Red lights switch on briefly and a double click
sound is heard.
• When any movement is sensed, the blue light
flashes.
User Guide
4. When using a crib/bed equipped with spring
base, place extra wooden board (plywood) under
each sensor pad, as shown in illustration 3. The
recommended size of the board is at least 17’’ x 11’’
and 1/2’’ thick.
5.
Pass the cord(s) of the sensor pad(s) through
special openings in the holder. (see illustration 4)
6. Attach end(s) of the cord(s) to the outlets
marked "SENSOR" on the back of control unit
(see illustration 6 and 7). When using one sensor
pad, attach to either “SENSOR” outlet.
PLEASE NOTE:
Do not attach any cable to the
blocked socket, marked "DO NOT USE"
Babysense
is a highly sensitive device which
monitors a baby's motion and movements through
the mattress during sleep. There are two main
causes of malfunction - technical malfunctions and
malfunctions due to environmental factors.
In order to minimize technical problems, follow
installation and operation instructions carefully.
Due to the high sensitivity of
Babysense
, it can be
influenced by fans, wind, air conditioning,
vibrating household sources and so forth. Such
environmental effects could be picked up by the
sensors on a similar level to that of slight movements,
thus preventing or delaying alarm activation.
Do not conduct the performance test by picking up
baby out of bed and waiting for the alarm to sound
• The performance test should be conducted
while the baby is not in bed.
• Turn the unit on and take two steps back from bed.
• Ensure the alarm goes off within 20 seconds
(due to absence of movement).
• The alarm may sound with or without
preliminary ticking.
• Check the alarm can be heard in all locations
throughout the home or place of care.
• If the alarm does not sound within 20
seconds refer to the troubleshooting at page 4.
• The performance test must be conducted daily.
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 the
baby is can move off the immediate area, connection
of two sensor pads far apart from each other when the
baby is not crawling yet, or failure of the sensor pads to
be directly against the mattress.
In case of false alarms, refer to the troubleshooting
guide. If the problem cannot be solved, please
contact your nearest
BABYSENSE
representative.
