Babysense monitors and alerts, but cannot prevent any
type of distress. The responsibility for applying first aid
rests on caretakers. The Babysense senses movements and
moon only, and cannot monitor other occurrences. The
purpose of the device is to alert when stopping or slowing
of movement occurs.
Babysense is a unique safety and reassurance system
which helps give parents peace of mind, alerng if
movements stop or become irregularly slow, giving crical
me to intervene. There are a number of cauonary steps,
which are internaonally recommended for SAFE
SLEEPING:
Babysense connually detects baby's moon and
movements, and will set off a sound and visual alarm if
movement stops for 20 seconds or if the monitor detects
less then 10 micro-movements per minute. The system's
non-touch sensor pads under the maress monitor
baby's movement without restraining him.
1. For inserng the baeries, remove the baery cover
by inserng a wide flat screw driver into the opening
recess (see illustraon 6). insert, in accordance with the
markings, 4 new and idencal size AA 1.5 volt baeries,
preferably alkaline and close cover.
Note: Please dispose of used baeries in accordance
with local waste regulaons.
2. Place control unit holder on the base of the crib or
bed and in between two bars as shown in illustraon 1.
3. Sensor pad installaon:
• When using for infant not yet able to crawl, place one
sensor pad as shown in illustraon 2. Make sure the
sensor is placed underneath baby’s locaon in crib.

• Turn off by pressing On / Off buon before taking
your baby out of crib / bed. Make sure the Yellow
shutdown indicator light momentarily blinks and no
other lights are seen thereaer to indicate the device
is turned off.
Due to the high sensivity of Babysense, fans, wind, air
condioning, and so forth can influence it. Such
environmental effects could be picked up by the sensors
on a similar level to that of slight movements, thus
prevenng or delaying alarm acvaon.
If the Babysense is concurrently used with other devices,
it is required to conduct the daily performance test
(below) under an environment idencal to the actual
situaon and while all concurrently used devices are
"ON". Under such condions, it is required to verify that
the acousc and visual alarms of Babysense are acvated.
Do not conduct performance test by picking up baby
out of bed and waing for the alarm to sound
• The performance test should be conducted while baby
is not in bed.
• Turn device on and take two steps away from bed.
• Ensure that alarm goes off within 20 seconds (due to
absence of movement).
• The alarm may sound with or without preliminary cking.
• Check that alarm can be heard in all locaons
throughout the home or place of care.
• In case that alarm does not sound within 20 seconds
refer to troubleshoong on page 4-5.
• Performance test must be conducted daily and every
me you move the monitor, change bedding or
relocate crib/bed posion.
Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. Check if
caused by faulty connecon of the sensor pad(s) to the
control unit, connecon of only one sensor pad when
baby can move off the immediate area or failure of the
sensor pads to be directly against the maress.
In case of false alarms, kindly refer to troubleshoong
guide on page 4-5. If the problem cannot be solved,
please contact manufacturer’s service personnel.

Tesng Operaon
Technical malfuncon
Babysense is a highly sensive device, which monitors a
baby's moon and movements through the maress
during sleep. There are two main causes of malfuncon -
technical malfuncons and malfuncons due to
environmental factors.
In order to minimize technical problems, follow
installaon and operaon instrucons carefully.

• Environmental influences
detected by the sensor pads,
such as wind, fan, air condioner,
baby mobile toy, vibraons.
• Perform a test which will detect the source of the movement that
the device detects. For example, sources of wind such as: air
condioner, an open window or a fan; movements of a baby mobile
toy (which can vibrate even if it's not turned on) or walking around the
bed area. Soluons: Eliminate sources of wind, remove the mobile toy
etc. Aer neutralizing all environmental influences, perform the test
again. If even aer neutralizing all of the environmental influences, the
alarm does not go off within 20 seconds, perform the following:
1. Test the control unit:
- Disconnect all cables from the control unit.
- Turn control unit on (with no cables aached).
- Alarm acvaon within 20 seconds indicates that the unit is OK –
proceed to the next steps.

and contact your local distributor.
2. Test each sensor pad separately:
- Connect one sensor pad to either “SENSOR” socket on control unit.
- Turn control unit on and take two steps back from the bed.
- Alarm acvaon within 20 seconds indicates that the sensor is OK –
perform the above procedures with the second sensor pad.
- If the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds,
place the sensor pad aside.
Note: If one of the sensor pads is NOT OK, connue using the product
with only the one correctly funconing sensor. If one or both sensors
are NOT OK, contact your local distributor for further guidance.
3. Test two sensor pads together:
- If both sensors were OK in Step 2, connect both sensors to “SENSOR”
sockets on the control unit.
- Turn control unit on and take two steps back from the bed.
- Alarm acvaon within 20 seconds indicates that the sensors are OK
- connue using the product.
- If the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds, connect one sensor
only and connue using the product. Contact your local distributor
for further guidance.
