is the main problem with low weight babies, whose breathing movements are weak even
under normal conditions.
Sometimes, it may become necessary to set the detection threshold to level 2 or 1, especially
in the case of premature babies with low weight; however one should proceed with great care
when setting at these levels so that vibrations coming from the surroundings do not influence
the sensing. This may be checked on the display when the device is switched on and the baby
is not lying in the bed! In the absence of the baby, Baby Control breathing monitor must sound
an alarm under normal conditions.
How to readjust the detection threshold level
1. Switch off the Baby Control breathing monitor using ON/OFF button (1) and wait for 5
seconds.
2. Then press the ON/OFF button (1) and hold for 20 seconds. The display (2) will show the
actual value of the threshold detection level (1 to 9); then the letters “P”– “L”. Wait until the
letters “L” –“E” are displayed.
3. Release the ON/OFF button (1) when “L”- “E” (LEVEL) has appeared. Numbers “1” to “9”
slowly appear on the display (2) (the sequence is displayed three times in succession).
4. Press briefly the ON/OFF button (1) when your desired level of detection threshold appears
on the display (2). Thus the new detection threshold level is stored. This new value will quickly
flash several times on the display (2) and the device is restored to normal operation.
IMPORTANT: Always repeat the testing after the readjustment of threshold level of detection
has been carried out!
Conditions for the Baby Control breathing monitor to Alarm
1. The breathing movements detected on the sensor pad (8) are four times in succession lower
(12 seconds) than the pre-set detection threshold level.
2. The red indicator light (4) starts flashing and simultaneously four warning audible signals
sound from the speaker (3). (If the detection of breathing movements is restored during this
phase, the Baby Control continues its normal operation.)
3. The alarm is triggered! The display (2) shows the letters “H”–“E”–“L”–“P”.
4. The alarm sounds until you press the ON/OFF button (1). Then the device switches off.
5. The alarm occurs even when the signal from any of sensor pads (8) is received again.
6. In the case of any alarm you must check whether it was false or not (false alarms can be
caused by the mattress being too thick or the baby moving outside the sensor pad’s detection
area).
INFORMATION: Consult your baby’s doctor as to how to deal with such situation. Take part in
training where advice is given together with practical exercises. This is the only way to acquire
the skills that are essential when restoration of breathing is needed.
IMPORTANT: In the case of a true alarm, check immediately whether the airways are not
obstructed by any foreign body or vomit. If so, try to remove the foreign body from the baby’s
mouth or nose and call the emergency services! If you see no foreign body in the airways,
