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.
Each Little Hippo purchase comes
with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
and one year warranty. Contact

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.
