MEET KELVIN
Thank you for purchasing KELVIN,
the children’s all-in-one room
monitor. KELVIN displays the room’s
temperature and humidity so you can
keep your child’s room comfortable
and safe.
KELVIN is also a night light that
changes color based on the room
temperature. Blue means it is
too cold; red means it is too hot;
and amber means it is within our

recommended range! Because each
infant’s environment is dierent,
you may program KELVIN’s amber
range to follow your doctor’s
recommendations.

INFANT SAFER SLEEP INFORMATION
USER TIP
When toggling between temperature scales, it is possible for the colors to change
due to rounding during conversions to Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Sleep experts advise to keep a baby’s
room at a temperature level that is
comfortable for an adult. Studies have
shown that overheating, along with
other factors, can increase the risk
of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome
(SIDS). It is dicult to provide specific
room temperature guidelines to avoid
overheating, although “acceptable”
ranges generally lie between 61-72° F
(16-22° C).
KELVIN displays an amber light if the
room temperature is within its default
range of 68-72° F (20-22° C). Outside
this range, KELVIN will display a blue
light if the room is too cold, and will
display a red light if the room is too
hot.
Because a “comfortable” yet realistic
temperature level can depend on
multiple factors including geography,
you may customize KELVIN’s amber
6

range. We strongly encourage
consulting your doctor if you are
unsure of what temperature range is
safe for your infant.
This setup guide provides additional
information on how to create a safer
sleeping environment for your baby.
KELVIN is not a substitute for active
monitoring. Be sure to check your
infant regularly to ensure he/she is not
too hot or cold. Signs of overheating
include sweating or the baby’s chest
feeling hot to the touch.
Always consult your doctor before
settling on conditions in your baby’s
room and if you have any questions
or concerns.
TEMPERATURE RANGE
KELVIN will display one of three colors depending on what the room
temperature is. If the temperature displays a blue or red light, take steps to heat
or cool your baby’s room, respectively.
DEFAULT RANGES
BLUE
Under 68° F (Under 20° C)
AMBER
68-72° F (20-22° C)
RED
Over 72° F (Over 22° C)

CUSTOMIZE THE AMBER RANGE
Fig. 6 Set Temperature
Mode (in ° F)
1. Hold down the F/C button
for 2 seconds to enter Set
Temperature mode. When setting
for the first time, KELVIN will
display the temperature icon and
the lowest temperature in the
default amber range - 68° F
(20° C) (Fig. 6).
2. Press the LED button
to increase the temperature up
to a maximum of 72° F (22° C).
Press the F/C button
to decrease the temperature
down to a minimum of 61° F
(16° C).
Adjust the amber range by
selecting the lowest temperature
desired in the range. The amber
range is always a five degree
range in Fahrenheit (or three
degree range in Celsius), inclusive
of the endpoint degrees. Refer to
the charts on pages 9 and 10 for
allowable custom amber ranges.
3. Hold down the F/C button
for 2 seconds to save and exit Set
Temperature mode.
Example: If you adjust the lower
bound temperature from 68° F
to 70° F, the amber range will
change from 68-72° F to the new
custom range, 70-74° F.

SAFER SLEEP GUIDELINES
In 2016, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released updated
recommendations for creating a safer infant sleeping environment and to reduce
the risk of SIDS and other sleep-related infant deaths. Their recommendations
include but are not limited to:
1. Infants should always be placed
for sleep entirely on their backs
until at least one year of age.
Side sleeping is not safe.
2. Infants should sleep on a firm
sleep surface covered with a
tightly fitted sheet and no other
bedding or soft objects.
3. Infants should sleep in the
parents’ room (although on a
separate surface designed for
infants, not in the same bed),
ideally until at least one year
of age.
4. Never place the infant to sleep
on a couch or armchair.
5. Keep soft objects and loose
bedding away from the infant’s
sleep space.
6. Consider using a pacifier during
nap time and at bedtime.
7. Avoid overheating as well
as using head and face
covers. Avoid over-bundling.
Generally, infants should
dress appropriately for their
environment, with no greater
than one layer more than
an adult would wear to be
comfortable.
8. Do not allow anyone to smoke
near your infant.
9. Keep your infant up to date
with vaccinations and check ups
according to your health care
provider.
10. Breastfeeding is recommended
and is associated with a
decreased risks of SIDS.
11

HUMIDITY GUIDELINES
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends keeping
indoor relative humidity between 30% and 50%, to decrease mold growth.
If the relative humidity is too low, your infant can experience discomfort such as
cracked skin or dried-out nasal passages. To increase humidity levels, you may
use a humidifier to introduce moisture into the air.
If the relative humidity is too high, the environment becomes conducive to mold
growth and allergens. To decrease humidity levels, you may use a dehumidifier.
Always try to maintain consistent humidity levels in your baby’s room
throughout the year.
Consult your doctor before settling on humidity conditions in your baby’s room
and if you have any questions or concerns.
Refer to the policy statement released by the AAP entitled “SIDS and Other
Sleep-Related Infant Deaths: Updated 2016 Recommendations for a Safe Infant
Sleeping Environment” for the latest guidelines.
Always consult your doctor before settling on conditions in your baby’s room
and if you have any questions or concerns.
