Important Use And Safety Warning
IMPORTANT USE AND SAFETY WARNING
It is essential that all users of your Babysense7 monitor read and
understand this user guide thoroughly before installing or using the
product. This user guide contains detailed information on installation and
operation of the Babysense7 monitor which all users need to be aware
of to ensure that the monitor operates properly. If you are unsure of how
to install and operate the Babysense7 monitor, please contact Customer
Support on [phone].
Your Babysense7 monitor is designed to be an aid for use with
healthy infants up to one year of age and should not be used as
a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision of your
baby.
The Babysense7 monitor has been designed to provide an alert in the
form of an alarm if your baby’s breathing movement rate slows below
10 breaths per minute or cannot be detected for more than 20 seconds.
However, you must always stay within hearing range of the alarm control
unit (as determined from your daily testing of the product) during use and
keep background noise to a minimum. Each home or place of care will
have a different hearing range. It is important to determine the correct
hearing range in every location that you use Babysense7 for the product
to adequately assist you.
Babysense7 is a high quality, high sensitivity medical device which must
be handled with care. The following steps are recommended for the best
operation of the Babysense7:
• You must undertake the performance test daily and every time you
move the monitor, change bedding or relocate baby's cot or bassinet
position (as set out in this user guide on page 10).
• Make sure the control unit and cables are kept out of reach of your
baby and other young children.
• Never place the control unit inside your baby's cot or bassinet.

2
Important Use And Safety Warning

• Ensure adequately charged batteries are used at all times.
• Babysense7 sensor pads must be properly placed below the mattress
of your baby’s cot or bassinet. Do not place the sensor pads above the
mattress.
• Please remove batteries if the device is not in use for more than 3 months.
• If you have any problems with this device, such as setting up,
maintaining or using, please contact Oricom. Also please report any
unexpected operation or events that occur.
• Do not use the equipment if you notice a change in the system's
performance, if the system is damaged, or if any of its components are
worn or frayed.
• Babysense7 should not be used close to or with other equipment. If
use near other equipment is necessary, verication of normal operation
in that conguration is necessary.
• All RF transmitting devices should be located at least 1m away from
Babysense7 cabling and sensor pads, as these devices may interfere
with the operation of Babysense7.

General Information
General Information
During the rst year of life infants may experience irregular breathing
patterns. These signs may indicate a cold, fever, or other illness.
Babysense7 is an infant apnoea alarm which gives parents (or caretakers)
some comfort, by improving the possibility of intervention in the event of
irregular breathing movement rate or distress.
What is Babysense7?
Babysense7 is a home breathing movement rate monitor designed to be
an aid for use with healthy infants up to one year of age and is not to be
relied on for use with infants requiring medical attention or supervision.
Medically trained staff such as nurses or non-medically trained users
such as parents or caregivers may use the Babysense7. The Babysense7
is intended for home use. If you have any concerns about your baby's
health, always consult a medical practitioner.
Babysense7 continually detects your baby's breathing movement rate
and will set off a sound and visual alarm if the breathing movement rate
slows to below 10 breaths per minute or cannot be detected for more
than 20 seconds. Check that the alarm can be heard in all locations
throughout the home or place of care. The system's non-touch sensor
pads under the mattress monitor your baby's breathing movement rate
without impeding your baby.

• Make sure the mattress is in contact with the sensor pads.
NOTE: A polystyrene foam mattress could cause false alarms.
Daily Testing Operation
You must conduct this quick performance test daily.
• The performance test should be conducted while baby is not in
cot and if there are any fans, air conditioning units, cot mobile,
humidier, ceiling projector or other devices in the babies
room, please ensure you conduct the daily performance test
with these devices turned on if applicable.
• Turn device on and leave the room.
• Ensure that alarm goes off within 20 seconds (due to absence of
breathing movements).
• In the case that the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds refer to
troubleshooting on page 14.
• The alarm may sound with or without preliminary ticking.
• Check that alarm can be heard in all locations throughout the home or
place of care.

Babysense7 is an exceedingly sensitive device which monitors baby's
breathing movements through the mattress during sleep. There are two
main causes of malfunction.
Operation

11
Operation
Technical malfunction
In order to minimize technical problems, follow installation and operation
instructions carefully.
Potential environmental disturbances
Due to the extreme sensitivity of Babysense7, it can be inuenced by fans,
wind, air conditioning, humidier, cot mobile, ceiling projector etc. Such
environmental effects could be picked up by the sensors on a similar level to
that of breathing movements, thus preventing or delaying alarm activation.
To ensure your Babysense7 is operating correctly, you must undertake the
required daily performance test (as set out in this user guide on page 10).
Locating and dealing with environmental disturbances
During testing outlined on page 10, if the alarm does not sound after
20 seconds, eliminate all environmental disturbances by actions
such as changing ventilation (the direction of the airow of a fan or
air conditioning vent), removing cot mobile, closing windows, and
repositioning the cot etc.
Babysense7 cannot be used for two infants in one cot. Never allow animals
in the cot. Do not operate vaporizer or ventilator directly towards the cot.
In the event of alarm
In the event of alarm commence rst aid, and seek the assistance of
emergency services and/or medical advice.
IMPORTANT: It is strongly advised that every caregiver to your
baby learn how to administer rst aid.
False alarms
Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. If this occurs, check if this is
caused by:
• a faulty connection between the sensor pad(s) and the control unit;
• connection of only one sensor pad when your baby can move off the
immediate area;
• connection of two sensor pads far apart from each other when baby is
not crawling yet; or
• failure of the sensor pads to be directly against the mattress.

12
Operation
• The compositions of some mattresses may not conduct vibrations
associated with babies breathing movement and may not be suitable
with Babysense7.
Do not use Babysense7 with a memory foam mattress.
• In case of false alarms, kindly refer to troubleshooting guide.
Please contact Oricom Customer Support team with any product related
questions.
Please note
Babysense7 monitors and alerts with respect to breathing
movement rates, but cannot prevent cessation of breathing.
The responsibility for applying rst aid rests on you.
Caring for your Babysense7
Warning
Babysense7 is a high quality, high sensitivity electronic device which
must be handled with care:
• Do not handle roughly, drop or throw.
• Follow the installation instruction carefully to ensure that it is installed
securely and correctly.

15
Troubleshooting Guide
Symptom Possible Cause Solution
The alarm
does not go
off within
20 seconds
when
performing
the correct
performance
test
• Environmental
influences detected
by the sensor pads,
such as wind, fan, air
conditioner, mobile,
vibrations.
• Perform a test which will detect the source of the
movement that the device detects. For example,
sources of wind such as: air conditioner, an
open window or a fan; movements of a baby
mobile (which can vibrate even if it's not turned
on) walking around the cot area or an intercom
placed near the cot with intense transmission
levels. Solutions: Eliminate sources of wind,
remove the mobile etc. After neutralizing all
environmental influences, perform the test again.
If even after 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 attached).
- Alarm activation within 20 seconds indicates
that the unit is OK – proceed to the next steps.
- If the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds,
stop using the device and contact Oricom
directly.
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 activation 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,
continue using the product with only the one
correctly functioning sensor. If one or both
sensors are NOT OK, contact Oricom Support 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 activation within 20 seconds indicates
that the sensors are OK
- continue using the product.
- If the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds,
connect one sensor only and continue using
the product. Contact Oricom Support for
further guidance.
