What comes in the box
How do I use the product?
1. Make sure the Band is fitting tightly with all sensors laying flat
against your skin
2. Select your session type* and put your phone down within arm’s
reach
3. During the session lay down on your side, rest your eyes and try
not to move or look at your phone
4. Depending on your session type your session will end in 1 of 2
ways...
a. For 10-minute sessions a push notification will inform you
when the session is complete
b. For overnight sessions you will have to press “end session”
in the app to complete your session
*What types of sessions are offered?
The Owlet Band offers 2 types of sessions where you can track your baby
Short sessions (10 minutes)
● The purpose of a short session is to capture a sample of baby’s
heartbeat during a short rest. It’s a quick way to check on baby.
Long sessions (1+ hour recommended, usually overnight)
● The purpose of a long session is to collect as many readings as
possible during a long nap or night’s sleep. It’s how we can begin
to establish trends.

How does the product work?
Bluetooth range of the Medallion?
The Medallion sends data to the phone via Bluetooth (range of 10 feet unobstructed). The Medallion will
keep monitoring if not in range of phone and can store up to 4 days of historical data. Once it is in range it
will take ~30 minutes to upload data. The Band does not require WiFi.
Battery life of the Medallion?
The Medallion battery lasts 8 hours and takes 1 hour to recharge.
The ultra-thin gold sensors on the backside of the Band should be placed directly on
the skin. These sensors passively track bioelectrical signals inside the womb.
The medallion collects information from the sensors and sends that information via
Bluetooth to the Owlet Pregnancy App. Through state-of-the-art algorithms, the Band
uses these signals to deliver insights about mom and baby’s wellbeing.

Steps to use the product
1. Create an account
2. Pair your medallion with your app
3. Update your medallion (if needed)
4. Create a pregnancy profile
5. Wear the Band
6. Start a session

Pair your medallion with your app
Pro tips:
You need to have an internet connection for the medallion to pair.
Whenever the medallion is not being used for a session, we recommend keeping it on the charging station as it will slowly lose battery life

Pair your medallion with your app
Troubleshooting:
● What should I do if my medallion has a firmware error? Note: you will know you have a medallion issue if it
lights up red
○ Place the medallion in the charging station, press and hold the reset button (small circle on the back
of the charging station) for approx. 10 seconds. The red will change to a white flash and then turn off.
● What should I do if my medallion is already registered to a different app? Note: see top right image and how
some medallions say “Registered” underneath your Medallion’s DSN #.
○ Place the medallion in the charging station, press and hold the reset button 6 times within 10
seconds. As you press the button the medallion will flash orange, then reboot.
● If multiple medallions are found, how do I know which medallion is mine so I can pair it to the app?
○ You can find your medallion DSN # on the back of your Medallion underneath the QR code. See
bottom right image.
● How long should I charge the medallion for?
○ The medallion takes ~1 hour for a full charge. The battery life is unlikely right now to last throughout
the entire night.
● How do I know during a session that my medallion is still working (including that the battery has not died)?
○ Tap hard 2 times. The purple light will appear if the Band still has battery.
● What if my medallion dies during a session?
○ Simply connect your medallion to the charging station, then you will be able to end the session in the
app. Data that was collected during the session will populate.

Update your medallion (if needed)
Pro tip:
Medallion updates can take up to 10 minutes, during the update do not move your medallion off of the charging station or force quit the app

How to wear the Band
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMeNXlnzyQU
Pro tip:
The Band should be worn very tight as the fabric is very stretchy. The Band should not
shift or bunch as you moves or lay on your side. The sensors should always remain flat
against your skin.

Start a session
To end your session
● For short sessions (10 minutes) a push notification will tell you when the session is complete
● For overnight sessions you will have to press “end session” in the app to complete your session
Troubleshooting:
● Do NOT force quit your app during the session, if you do data will stop being collected; you will need to end the current session and start a new
session.
● If your medallion dies during the session, you will need to connect the medallion to the charging station then go back into the app. Once the
medallion is charging the app should allow you to press “end session.”
Make sure the Band fits tightly
and all sensors are laying flat
Before starting a session
When the session is in progress,
set your phone down in arm’s
reach--this is so that the
Bluetooth does not lose
connection
Lay on your side and rest your
eyes. Do not look at your
phone---we’ve noticed that moms
are unable to relax properly if they
are on their phone
Select which session type you
want to do

4. Warnings and safety

What if I only see “low quality readings” after completing a session?
Low Quality Readings
We want all of your readings to be the best quality. Here are some ways to improve the quality of readings…
Sensor placement
Make sure the Band is on tight enough and all sensors are laying flat. If the sensors do not have optimal skin contact,
your readings will not be the best quality. The Band should not shift or bunch up or bunch together as you move.
Relaxation
Lay on your side and rest your eyes. Muscle tension adds noise to the data, so try to avoid movement that flexes your
abdomen or back muscles. Taking a nap is the best form of relaxation.
Do not look at your phone---not surprisingly, we’ve noticed that moms are unable to relax properly if they are looking at
their phone.
Vernix
We are working on improving our algorithm’s ability to pick up high quality signals when your baby has vernix caseosa,
also known as vernix. Vernix is the waxy or cheese-like white substance found coating the skin of newborn human
babies. The vernix develops around 27 weeks gestation and is usually shed by 35 weeks. When your baby is covered
in vernix, it will dampen electrical signals from the baby, making their readings more difficult to obtain
Kick counting
The best way to track your baby is through daily kick counting sessions. Owlet strongly recommends that all Band
users conduct daily kick counting sessions to document trends in their baby’s activity. You should check with your
doctor for more specific recommendations on how many kicks you should feel within a given time period, but literature
suggests* if you have not felt 10 kicks in 2 hours, you should contact your provider. If you ever feel as though
something is not quite right or have questions or concerns regarding your pregnancy, you should contact your doctor.

How to wash & store the Band
How to wash the Band
Recommended to wash once every 3 weeks or as needed
1. Remove your medallion from the band. If your medallion is connected to your band,
remove it before you begin washing your band.
2. Do not submerge the medallion dock in water. The medallion dock should be able to
handle splashes of water from washing the band, but do not completely submerge it in
water.
3. Gently hand wash your band using warm water and mild detergent. Use your fingers to
gently scrub the band, avoiding sensors and the medallion dock.
4. Make sure to rinse your band well enough so that all the detergent is removed.
5. Lay or hang your band to out to dry. You can lay your band out to dry or you can hang
it up using clothes pins.
How to store the Band
Store in a climate-controlled environment. Recharge the battery to prevent from completely
losing charge. Lay the sensors flat to prevent cracking.
