Your Baby Control Digital Team
Introducon
Why is it important that parents use the breathing monitor?
During their rst year of life, infants are at risk of the so-called sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) that is
described as a sudden and unexpected death of an otherwise healthy child.
Children under one year of age have irregular breathing paerns, and may even stop breathing. The breathing
monitor is the only device that is able to connuously monitor the characterisc breathing movements of
your baby when lying in a bed, crib or pram and provide early warning of any potenally dangerous situaon.
It may thus prevent the already menoned sudden infant death syndrome. If the parent detects the
suspension of breathing (apnea) in me and is able to respond appropriately and restore breathing, the baby
is likely to be saved.
Using the breathing monitor is the most ecient way to prevent SIDS. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
can save life, but is not a life-saving device.
Descripon of funcons of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
1. Baby Control Digital connuously monitors the breathing of a baby sleeping in the bed, crib or pram, etc.
2. The sensor pad placed directly on the grang under the maress senses the baby’s breathing movements. Informaon is
then given to the control unit to evaluate the measured values.
3. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor detects any breathing suspension. In case of danger, i.e. if the value of breathing
movements of the baby is more than twelve seconds under the pre-set threshold level of detecon (see Adjusng the
threshold level of detecon), Baby Control Digital generates a noisy alarm.
4. But Baby Control Digital is in no way able to intervene in a dangerous situaon that occurs. Only that person who un-
derwent a dedicated training course is able to give arcial breathing and perform resuscitaon. Ask your doctor for advice.
IMPORTANT: Check regularly the funconality of your Baby Control Digital breathing monitor during opera-
on! Please contact your distributor in case you have observed any defect to your Baby Control Digital.

Features of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
1. Detecon is accomplished through the maress
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor has no direct contact with your baby. Its use does not inuence the normal life
condions of the family and their baby. It is discreet and easy to use.
2. Uniquely large monitored area
The size of one sensor pad is 300 x 500 mm. Depending on the type Baby Control Digital breathing monitors have one, two,
three or four (twin type) sensor pads. The device with three sensor pads is able to monitor the surface of most baby beds.
Your fear that your baby can move outside the monitored area can be reduced by using a device with more sensor pads.
3. Variable placing of sensor pads
You may place the sensor pad in the baby’s temporary bed as well; just take the control unit with it.
4. Perfect sideward sensibility
Even if the baby is not lying right on the sensor pad, the device is able to detect breathing movements coming from the
side, so don’t be afraid of insucient monitoring.
5. It can be used with all maress and grang types
The sensor pad of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is placed directly on the bed grang and can be safely used with
any maress no maer how thick it is or what material it is made from.
6. Digitally adjustable threshold level of detecon
By only several clicks of a buon, it is possible to adjust the threshold level of detecon of the baby’s breathing
movements, which best suits the environment in queson.
7. Digital representaon of the breathing movement intensity
You may watch the intensity of your baby’s breathing movements on the scale from 0 to 9 on the display that is well visible
also in the dark (luminous).Thus it is possible to check with only one look, whether Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
is appropriately adjusted for your baby’s breathing.
8. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is able to play backevents of the last nine minutes in one-minute steps
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor will play back the recorded events from the digital memory, which may provide
important informaon on the details of any breathing suspension.
9. Double (safety) siren
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is equipped with a safety double siren.
10. Baery voltage monitoring
If the baery voltage is low, the device will signalize the baery replacement when turned on.

Pung Baby Control Digital breathing monitor to operaon
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230)
1. Detach the upper plasc cover (4) from the control unit (8). Parts are not xed with any screw, it is only necessary to put
them apart carefully.
2. Insert two alkaline AA baeries (do not use rechargeable baeries) into the baery compartment (5) inside the control
unit (8). Make sure the baeries are in the marked +/– orientaon.
3. Subsequently, the condion of baeries and control unit (8) are automacally tested. You will hear an acousc signal from
the speaker (3) twice and the green indicator light (6) ashes once and the red indicator light (7) ashes twice.
4. Aach the upper plasc cover (4) to the control unit (8).
5. Connect the sensor pad cable (11) to the socket (9 or 10) located on the side of the control unit (8). The sensor pad (11) can
be connected to any of the sockets (9 or 10).
6. Place the sensor pad (11) evenly at the bed’s grang approximately on the place where the baby’s chest is to be situated
and place the maress over it. Never bend, fold or roll sensor pads!
7. Aach the control unit (8) to the baby’s bed using Velcro clamps. Baby Control Digital cable must be secured so that the
baby cannot pull it. The best way is to turnit around one of the bed bars.
8. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is ready for operaon.
INFORMATION: When one sensor pad is used (BC-200 type), we recommend placing it under the maress
lengthwise for safety reasons; when two and more sensor pads are used (BC-210 and BC-230 types), place them
crosswise. If all three sensor pads are needed (BC-230 type), connect them to the control unit using the T-con-
necon (part of delivery). If the baby is already able to leave the place, the use of two or three sensor pads is
advised, even though one sensor pad would t the baby. It may occur that the baby moves o one sensor pad
during sleep and so the other pad can take over the sensing funcon.
Typy monitorů dechu Baby Control Digital BC-200, BC-210, BC-230 používejte pouze pro jedno dítě.
U typů BC-220i a BC-230i je možné v případě přesného nastavení (viz REŽIM DVOJČATA) rozdělení senzorových
podložek mezi dvě dě.
IMPORTANT: In rare cases, especially with low weight babies or babies lying on their sides, it may occur that
the sensor pad senses poorly and the displayed measured value is oen below the pre-set threshold level of
detecon. A temporary soluon may be to readjust the threshold level of detecon (see Adjusng the threshold
level of detecon).
Baby Control Digital 6
Switching ON/OFF your Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230)
1. Press and hold the on/o buon (1) for 2 seconds. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor will not start by any shorter
pressing.
2. The pre-set threshold level of detecon will ash on the display (2) ve mes. The factory seng is „3“.
3. Then the numerical values - „0” = no movement, „1” to „9” = there is any movement - will repeatedly ash
on the display (2).
4. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is switched on and ready for operaon.
5. The green indicator light (6) ashes when the intensity of movements reaches or exceeds the pre-set threshold level of
detecon.
6. The red indicator light (7) will start to ash following a short acousc signal from the speaker (3), if a dangerous situaon
occurs (see Alarm status of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor).
7. Aer the alarm acousc signal is acvated, you can stop the alarm by pressing the on/o buon (1) once. The control
unit (8) is switched o.
8. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor can be switched o by pressing the on/o buon (1) twice in succession. Aer
the rst pressing the display (2) shows „-” and if you press the on/o buon (1) again within 5 seconds, Baby Control
Digital switches o with two short acousc signals. If you do not press the on/o buon again within 5 seconds, the
monitor stays on and returns to normal operaon.
IMPORTANT: The display of the Baby Control Digital may show values „1“ - „9“ even if there is no movement
or sensor pads are disconnected. This is not an error, the device only adjust the condion most conforming to
the surroundings.
INFORMATION: When switched o, the device does not consume any electricity, thus it is not necessary to
remove baeries when used daily. In case the device will be out of operaon for a longer period of me, take
the alkaline AA baeries out of the baery compartment (5).
Baby Control Digital 7
Operaon of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230)
The numerical display (2) will show the intensity of breathing movements detected by Baby Control Digital approximately
every 2.5 seconds („9“ - the most intensive, „1“ - the least intensive, „0“ - no movement detected). At the same me the gre-
en indicator light (6) will ash if the intensity of detected movement reaches or exceeds the pre-set threshold value. Thus it
is possible to check even from a distance whether the device has detected a movement that is intensive enough. An acousc
warning signal will sound from the speaker (3) and the red indicator light (7) start to ash when the measured value does not
reach the pre-set threshold level four mes in succession (12 seconds). Then the alarm is acvated. If the measured value is
very low or equal to zero, it is likely that the maress placed on the sensor padis extremely thick or baby is lying close to the
edge of the sensor pad (11). Please change this state to avoid false alarms.
IMPORTANT: For the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor operaon it is very important to adjust the
threshold level of detecon, i.e. the value between „1“ and „9“ to be aained by the breathing movement
of the baby. Typically, the value „3“ is used (factory seng). You may change the seng in jused cases (see
Adjusng the threshold level of detecon).
Adjusng the threshold level of detecon
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
IMPORTANT: The factory seng of the threshold level of detecon is „3“. This valueis opmalfor babies unl
one year of age. Please change it only in jused cases.
The threshold level of detecon of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor may be adjusted at nine levels. It may be necessary
to increase or decrease it according to situaon. Please bear in mind that by decreasing the threshold level of detecon, Baby
Control Digital breathing monitor will become more sensive to false vibraons from the surroundings, while its increase may
make it more dicult to disnguish weak breathing movements! Therefore tests must be performed several mes and very
carefullyalways aer the threshold level of detecon is adjusted (see Tesng). A special aenon must be paid to appliances
eming permanent vibraons, such as air condioning equipment, refrigerators, etc. If other value than „0“ is ashing on the
display and baby is not in the bed, Baby Control Digital breathing monitor detects vibraons from some place in its surroun-
dings. In such case do not use it unl the source of vibraons is found.
The jused case for changing the threshold level of detecon is e.g. when Baby Control Digital breathing monitor without
the baby’s presence shows any value higher than „0“ due to vibraons and it is not possible to keep these disturbing acons
from happening (e.g. strong trac in the street). In such case please set the threshold level of detecon by 2 levels higher
than is the highest value caused by such disturbance. You must be aware that by increasing the threshold level of detecon
Baby Control Digital will not respond to ny breathingmovements of the baby which may increase the false alarm probability.
This is mainly the problem with lower weight babies, whose breathing movements are weak even under normal condions.
Somemes, it may become necessary to set the threshold level of detecon to „2“ or „1“, especially in the case of premature
babies with low weight; however one should proceed with great care when decreasing the level so that vibraons coming
from the surroundings do not inuence 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 Digital breathing monitor must sound an alarm
when in quiescent state.

How to readjust the threshold level of detecon
1. Switch o Baby Control Digital breathing monitor using on/o buon (1) and wait for 5 seconds.
2. Then press the on/o buon (1) and hold for 20 seconds. The display (2) will show the actual value of threshold level
of detecon („1“ to „9“), then leers „P”– „L”. Wait unl leers „L” – „E” are displayed.
3. Release the on/o buon (1) when „L”- „E” (LEVEL) has appeared. Numbers „1” to „9” slowly appear on the display
(2) (the sequence is displayed three mes in succession).
4. Press shortly the on/o buon (1) when your desired value of threshold level of detecon appears on the display (2).
Thus the new threshold level of detecon is stored. This new value will quickly ash several mes on the display (2) and
the device is restored to normal operaon.
IMPORTANT: Always repeat the tesng aer the readjustment of threshold level of detecon was performed!
Alarm status of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230)
1. The breathing movements detected on the sensor pad (11) are lower four mes in succession (12 seconds) than the
pre-set threshold level of detecon.
2. The red indicator light (7) starts ashing and simultaneously four warning acousc signals sound from the speaker (3).
(If detecon of breathing movements is restored in this phase, Baby Control Digital connues its normal operaon.)
3. The alarm is triggered! The display (2) shows the leers „H”- „E” - „L”- „P”.
4. The alarm sounds unl you press the on/o buon (1). Then the device switches o.
5. The alarm is not silenced even when the signal from any of sensor pads (11) is transmied again.
6. In case of any alarm you must check whether it is not false (false alarm can be caused by a maress being too thick or baby
moving outside the sensor pad).
INFORMATION: Consult your baby’s doctor how to deal with such situaon. Take part in trainings where ad-
vice is given together with praccal exercises. This is the only way how to acquire skills that are essenal when
restoraon of breathing is needed.
IMPORTANT: In the case of true alarm, check immediately whether 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! If
you see no foreign body in the airways, immediately start with restoraon of breathing based on experiences
learnt at training courses. If you did not visit any such training, call any person that is able to perform rst aid to
restore breathing. Do not panic in danger. It is very important to keep cool, because any hasty acon may lead
to an irrevocable damage! One must be psychically prepared to an occurrence of such event and know exactly
what to do.
Baby Control Digital 9
Event memory of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor features 9 minutes event memory which records the events of last 9 minutes before
the switch-o (both numbers on the display and acousc signals). These recordings may become very useful especially when
alarm occurs as they make possible to gain informaon about whether your baby’s breathing paern before the alarm was
regular or not.
How to read the event memory
1. Switch o Baby Control Digital breathing monitor using on/o buon (1) and wait for 5 seconds.
2. Then press the on/o buon (1) and hold for 10 seconds unl leers „P” - „L” (PLAY) appear. Release the on/o buon (1).
3. The display (2) shows the minutes passed „1P”, „2P” to „9P” (max. 9 minutes). Choose how many minutes you want to
replay.
4. When you see the required minute, press the on/o buon (1). The values, which have been recorded during this minute,
will be replayed (both numbers on the display and acousc signals). Replay takes place in real me, which means that
recorded values follow each other in the same way and same me as they happened while the device had been used.
5. You may stop replaying at any me by pressing the on/o buon (1). Pressing the buon once will switch Baby Control
Digital to normal mode, pressing it twice will switch it o.
6. Aer the whole recording has been played, its end is marked with a long tone and the device switches to normal mode.
Low voltage of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor baery
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
Aer Baby Control Digital is switched on by the on/o buon (1) and aer the pre-set threshold level of detecon ashes
ve mes on the display (2), the leer „E” will be constantly ashing on the display accompanied by an acousc signal. This
situaon means that the baery voltage is low. Any voltage drop to 2.7V (1.35V per one baery) may endanger the reliable
operaon of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor. In such case do not use the device for the reasons of safety. Baby Control
Digital cannot be switched o unl baeries are replaced. Always keep spare alkaline AA baeries at home in order to ensure
uninterrupted operaon. Baery life expectancy is about 2-3 months, depending on the baery type and number of hours
of operaon.
IMPORTANT: If there is a short acousc signal aer the device has been switched on and „E” ashes once on
the display, the baery will soon get exhausted. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor may be safely used for
another 12 hours, however you should replace the baeries as soon as possible!
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor must not be used with rechargeable AA baeries, because their com-
bined rated voltage is only 2.4V!
The baery condion is tested automacally aer every start of the device.

Tesng Baby Control Digital breathing monitor
(BC-200, BC-210, BC-230, BC-220i, BC-230i)
If you wish to try how the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor triggers a warning signal or whether it is ready for operaon,
then take the baby out of the bed, crib or pram when the device is switched on. The pre-set threshold level of detecon will
ash several mes on the display (2) aer switching on. Then the detected value, which ashes every two and half seconds,
will be lower and lower as there is no movement, unl you gently touch the sensor pad or maress with your hand. If you
keep your hand directly on the sensor pad, the device will detect even connuous, insnct muscle movements and so the
displayed value is not zero (mostly „9”).
Because of its high sensivity, Baby Control Digital breathing monitor may be tested as follows: stand half a meter (about 50
cm) from the bed and wait unl the display shows „0” or „1”. Then blow towards the maress. Baby Control Digital will detect
this movement and the displayed value must be at least one level higher than is the pre-set threshold level of detecon. Then
the alarm situaon should occur (see Alarm status). Test your Baby Control Digital breathing monitor at least once or twice
a week.
IMPORTANT: Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is sensive to even ny mechanical vibraons coming
from the surroundings and its operaon may be inuenced by external eects (venlator, draught, nearby
refrigerator, TV, toy of baby’s elder brother or sister, dynamic walk near the bed, etc.). We recommend to
eliminate these eects as much as possible not only for the sake of the baby’s undisturbed sleep, but also
to avoid the malfuncon of the device. If these eects cannot be completely eliminated, then perform the
tesng with increased cauon. In case of need you may decrease the sensivity of Baby Control Digital
breathing monitor so that the threshold level of detecon is adjusted in the manner described above
(see Adjusng the threshold level of detecon).

Characterisc features
If appropriate condions are met, Baby Control Digital breathing monitors of BC-220i and BC-230i types are able to monitor
the breathing of twin (two) babies at the same me and sound alarm if suspension of breathing occurs in anyone of them.
Baby Control Digital breathing monitors of BC-220i and BC-230i types only dier in the number of their sensor pads.
(BC-220i – 2 sensor pads, BC-230i – 4 sensor pads).

Baby Control Digital 11
To ensure proper funconing of the twin mode, each baby must be in placed his/her own bed. Beds must be placed from
each other as far as the cables of the sensor pads make it possible, but at least 40 cm. This way the movements of babies will
not interfere with one another’s sensor pads. You may test whether the beds are in adequate distance by taking one baby
out of the bed. The sensor pad placed in his/her bed then must display the state with no movement and Baby Control Digital
breathing monitor must trigger an alarm. Then the test should also be carried out with the second baby. At least 2 sensor
pads are needed for the twins, one pad under each baby.

1. Press and hold the on/o buon (1) for 2 seconds. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor will not start by any shorter
pressing.
2. The pre-set threshold level of detecon will ash on the display (2) ten mes. The factory seng is “3“.
3. Then the numerical values „0” = no movement, „1” to „9” = there is any movement will repeatedly ash on the display (2).
At rst, the measured value coming from the le socket (9) is displayed with simultaneous ashing of the le indicator light
(6), then from the right socket (10) with simultaneous ashing of the right indicator light (7).
4. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is switched on and ready for operaon.
5. The indicator lights (6 and 7) ash green when the intensity of breathing movements reaches or exceeds the pre-set
threshold level of detecon.
6. The indicator light (6 or 7) will start to ash red accompanied by a short acousc signal from the speaker (3) if a dangerous
situaon occurs (see Alarm status of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor - TWIN MODE).
7. Aer the alarm acousc signal is acvated, you can stop the alarm by only pressing the on/o buon (1) once. The
control unit (8) is switched o.
8. Baby Control Digital breathing monitor can be switched o by pressing the on/o buon (1) twice in succession. Aer
the rst pressing the display (2) shows „-” and if you press the on/o buon (1) again within 5 seconds, the device
switches o with two short acousc signals. If you do not press the on/o buon again within 5 seconds, the monitor
stays on and returns to normal operaon.

Operaon of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor –
TWIN MODE (BC-220i, BC-230i)
The numerical display (2) will show the intensity of breathing movements detected by Baby Control Digital approximately eve-
ry 2.5 seconds („9“ - the most intensive, „1“ - the least intensive, „0“ - no movement detected). At rst, the value coming from
the le socket (9) is displayed – breathing movements of the baby lying on the sensor pad to the le. Then the value coming
from the right socket (10) is displayed - breathing movements of the baby lying on the sensor pad to the right. At the same
me the indicator light (6) above the socket (9) and the indicator light (7) above the socket (10) ash green if the intensity of
detected movements reaches or exceeds the pre-set threshold level. Thus it is possible to check even from a distance whether
the device has detected movements that are intensive enough. An acousc warning signal will sound from the speaker (3)
and the indicator light (6 or 7) will start to ash red when the measured value does not reach the pre-set threshold level of
detecon four mes in succession (12 seconds). Then the alarm is acvated. If the measured value is very low or equal to
zero, it is likely that the maress placed on the sensor pad is extremely thick or baby is lying close to the edge of the sensor
pad (11). Please change this state to avoid false alarms.
IMPORTANT: In the twin mode, at rst the status of the sensor pad connected to the socket on the le-hand
side ashes on the display, then the status of the sensor pad on the right-hand side.
IMPORTANT: For the Baby Control Digital breathing monitor operaon it is very important to adjust the
threshold level of detecon, i.e. the value between „1“ and „9“ to be aained by the breathing movement
of the baby. Typically, the value „3“ is used (factory seng). You may change the seng in jused cases (see
Adjusng the threshold level of detecon).
Alarm status of Baby Control Digital breathing monitor –
TWIN MODE (BC-220i, BC-230i)
1. The detected value of breathing movements coming from the le or right sensor pad (11) is lower four mes in succession
(12 seconds) than the pre-set threshold level of detecon.
2. The indicator light (6 – baby lying to the le or 7 – baby lying to the right) above the appropriate socket starts ashing red
and simultaneously four warning acousc signals sound from the speaker (3). (If detecon of breathing movements is
restored in this phase, Baby Control Digital connues its normal operaon.)
3. The alarm is triggered! The display (2) shows the leers „H” - „E” - „L” – „P”.
4. The alarm sounds unl you press the on/o buon (1). Then the device switches o.
5. The alarm is not silenced even when the signal from any of sensor pads (11) is transmied again.
6. In case of any alarm you must check whether it is not false (false alarm can be caused by a maress being too thick or baby
moving outside the sensor pad).
IMPORTANT: When you use more than one sensor pad under one baby in the twin mode, you may connect
maximally 2-2 sensor pads to Baby Control Digital breathing monitor using the T-connecon (part of delivery).
Take special care that the two sensor pads connected using T-connecon are placed under the same baby!
Otherwise the device is not able to dierenate between the movements of two babies.

Temporary/permanent suspension of TWIN MODE
(BC-220i, BC-230i)
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor of BC-220i and BC-230i types for twinsmay also be used for only one baby. Before that
the device must be switched from the twin mode into one-baby mode. This meansa permanent switching from one mode to
another - not to be confused with a temporary suspension of the twin mode!
1. When switched o, press the on/o buon (1) and hold for approximately 30 seconds unl leers „S” - „E” appear.
Release the on/o buon (1).
2. The display shows alternang values „1” and „2”.
3. If you press the on/o buon (1) while „1” is displayed, Baby Control Digital breathing monitor will be set to the
one-baby mode and should be operated according to instrucons described above.
4. If you press the on/o buon (1) while „2” is displayed, the twin mode is set.
Temporary suspension of TWIN MODE
Baby Control Digital breathing monitor oers you the opon of temporary suspension of the twin mode in case that one
baby is sll sleeping, but the other had to be taken out of the bed for any reason.
1. For temporary suspension of the twin mode shortly press the on/o buon (1) once. This will cause the temporary
change to the one-baby mode.
2. The red ashing indicator light (6 or 7) on the side where the baby is not present warns you not to forget to change the
device back to the twin mode aer the second baby is returned to the bed on the sensor pad (11) connected into an
appropriate socket (9 or 10).
3. The twin mode is restored by shortly pressing the on/o buon (1) again.
IMPORTANT: Baby Control Digital breathing monitor is wholly independent of 230V network and operates
exclusively at low voltage. An electric shock is praccally impossible! The device does not generate or emit any
electromagnec or other radiaon. The use of the device is perfectly safe.
IF YOU HAVE ANY SUSPICION OF DEFECT, DO NOT USE THE DEVICE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
