First Things First
In the Box
Set it Up
First—and above all else—is the health, safety, and well-being of your baby.
We believe that you will benefit from the eClip—but nothing can replace
responsible parenting.
Open the eClip package and make sure that you have all of the following:
It only takes a few minutes to set up your new eClip and to learn how to use it.
A. eClip (battery included)
B. eClip Accessory Strap
C. eClip Quick Setup Guide.
D. End User Warranty
After every journey, always check that you have removed your child
from the car.
You might want to set up your new eClip, and familiarize yourself with its
operation, during a dry run, before taking your first drive, so you don’t have to do it
in the hot sun, next to your car, when you’re in a hurry.

We recommend that you launch the eClip app only after you’ve completed the next step.
So, first, let’s pull the plastic tab out.
Preparing the eClip Battery
The eClip includes a battery that should give you 500 hours of continuous use. It is shipped
at full strength, and is protected against discharge during shipping by a plastic tab.
1. Remove the eClip from the box and turn it over.
2. Take a coin and rotate the battery cover counter-clockwise until it comes off.
3. Lift up the battery, take the plastic tab out, and dispose of it.
4. Put the battery back in place, with the flat side, marked with a plus sign (+) facing up.
5. Replace the battery cover, turning it clockwise with a coin, until the coin is in line with
the two H-clips.
Once you close the battery cover the eClip‘s red LED flashes quickly three times to indicate
that it is on. It will then continue to flash about once every second.
For now, turn the eClip off by pressing the On/Off switch continuously for three seconds.
The red LED flashes three times, and then the eClip turns off.

eClip Full User Guide 7
After your first successful set up and pairing of the app, when you next
launch and pair with the eClip, the app should go directly to the connecting screen.
Note:
If you own two eClips make sure that you have disconnected from the first
eClip before beginning to pair with the second one.
More than one person can install the eClip app and be within range of the eClip, but the
eClip can only be paired with one smartphone at a time.
Note:
Installing the eClip in Your Car
As you can see from the eClip packaging, you have your choice of four convenient options
to secure the eClip.
Once you’ve chosen a location for the eClip set it in place, as follows:
Baby car
seat strap
Standard adult
seat belt
Diaper bag
strap
Included strap
accessory
Always check manufacturers’ recommendations before attaching
the eClip to the strap of your baby’s car seat or your vehicle’s adult seat belt.
Always make sure that the eClip stays out of your baby’s mouth and
that no liquids are spilled on or into it. See Taking Care of Your eClip on page 13 for
more information.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Before attaching the eClip’s H-grip to purse or diaper bag, make sure that
it is a compatible size, to prevent the eClip from accidently falling off the strap.

eClip Full User Guide 9
The eClip alert should sound at full volume even if you
have muted your phone. Once you have dismissed the alert the
volume returns to its previous sound setting.
The alert will also sound on full volume even with
ear/headphones
Note:
Note:
A. Your Baby.
A1. If you take your baby out of the car and walk away, you
should receive a visible and audible alert after about 25 feet
(8 meters) if you didn’t turn off the eClip. Just tap SHUTDOWN
APP and confirm by tapping YES. The eClip automatically turns
off three minutes later.
A2. Just in case you forget your baby you should receive a
visual and audible alert when you go beyond about 25 feet
(8 meters) from the car. Go back to your car and get your baby.
B. Settings. Of course, our baby icon has much less personality than
your baby. See Baby Profile Tab on page 12 for more information
about how to upload a picture and type in your baby’s name to
add another reminder that your baby is onboard with you.
C. Battery Level. Five green bars in the Battery Level icon indicates a
good strong power supply for your eClip. The battery should be
good for about 500 hours of continuous use. Good battery health
is very important, so we recommend that you replace it at least
twice a year: at the start of summer and the start of winter. Always
replace the battery when the Battery Level icon drops to two red
bars, since this low level indicates that power can drain completely
at any time. See Changing the eClip Battery on page 14 for more
information about how to change the battery.
D. Bluetooth Signal. This shows the strength of your communication
signal by the number of green waves. If the signal is lost the radio
waves disappear, the icon turns red and the color of your eClip
LED changes from blue to red. Correct the Bluetooth settings on
your smartphone and tap CONTINUE MONITORING to renew the
connection.
E. Temperature. The eClip app checks the temperature every
few seconds. By default temperature alerts are disabled. See
Temperature Alert Tab on page 12 for information about how to
enable alerts, change the measurement unit, modify the checking
frequency, or define your temperature threshholds.

When an Alert Sounds
The main function of the eClip is giving you a visible and audible alert if you move too far
away from your child when you have parked your car.
This is done by measuring the distance between the eClip and your smartphone. When it
goes beyond about 25 feet (8 meters) you will receive both an audio and visual alert.
You arrived at your destination,
took your baby out of the car—
but didn’t turn off the eClip.
Just tap SHUTDOWN APP and
continue on your way. The
eClip automatically turns off
three minutes later.
You are still in the car. The eClip LED flashes red, meaning that the Bluetooth connection
has been lost. Check your smartphone, correct the problem, and then tap CONTINUE
MONITORING to renew the connection. See Pairing Does Not Work on page 15 for
more information.
And that’s why eClip is here. You may have become distracted by any number of things,
and walked away from the car. The alert sounds when you go beyond about 25 feet
(8 meters) from your baby.
Some iOS and Android devices attempt to override visual alerts. However, you
shoud still hear the audible alert.
If your smartphone goes into sleep mode, or if the screen turns off, the
eClip app may also go into sleep mode and you may not receive any alerts.
Note:
Caution:
The eClip alert sounds at full volume even if you have muted your phone.
Once you have dismissed the alert the volume returns to its previous setting.
Note:
See Temperature Alert Tab on page 12 for information about how to modify the
temperature alert settings.

eClip Full User Guide 11
When you begin your next car trip it will take a few minutes for the eClip to
stabilize and report on the ambient temperature around your baby instead of the
eClip’s temperature from having been in a closed car.
Note:
There are several ways to shut down the eClip.
When you and your baby go beyond about 25 feet (8 meters) from the eClip in your
car, your smartphone sounds the DID YOU FORGET YOUR BABY alert. Tap SHUTDOWN
APP, confirm that you really want to shut down, and continue on your way. The eClip
automatically turns off three minutes later.
Press the eClip On/Off switch for three seconds to turn it off. Tap SHUTDOWN on the eClip
HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF screen and then YES on the ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU WANT
TO SHUT DOWN THE APP?screen.
Shut down the eClip app and tap YES on the ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU WANT TO SHUT
DOWN THE APP?screen. The eClip automatically turns off three minutes later.
You do not have to remove the eClip from your car between trips. However, if you plan to
use a single eClip for two cars, or if you want to use your eClip to stay close to your child
when you are out of the car, always make sure that the eClip is located near your baby
when you want to use it.

Changing the eClip Battery
The battery should be good for 500 hours of continuous use. Good battery health is
very important, so we recommend that you replace it at least twice a year: at the start of
summer and the start of winter. Always replace the battery when the eClip Monitoring
screen drops to two red bars.
