ALWAYS:
Use the correct size diaper (nappy). If it is too
loose, Go! may lose contact.
Fold the top of the diaper over before attaching
Go!, to ensure a firm grip. Use the nappy
adjusters to provide a snug fit around the
tummy.
1. IMPORTANT – READ FIRST!
It is essential that Go!’s coloured flexible tip
maintains constant contact with baby’s tummy.
Firmly clip Go! onto the folded nappy
waistband, using the full extent of the clip.
ENGLISH

Ensure that Go! sits squarely on the nappy,
and that the Movement Sensor (1) is in contact
with baby’s tummy.
Press the ON/OFF switch (5) to start
monitoring.
Always follow the above procedure to ensure
that your baby’s abdominal movement is being
monitored, and to prevent false alarms caused
by lack of contact with the baby’s tummy.
NOTE: Handle Go! with care to prevent damage
to clip or sensor.

2. INTRODUCTION
Snuza Go! is a portable baby movement monitor which safely and conveniently
monitors your baby’s abdominal movements while sleeping.
Go! can be clipped onto your baby’s diaper (nappy) for total mobility.
No cords, wires, sensor pads or external power are required.
Clip on, switch on and relax.
Go! detects even the slightest abdominal movement. If no abdominal
movement at all is detected for a period of 20 seconds, Go! will emit an
audible alarm to alert you. The 20-second period can be reduced to 15 or
18 seconds if preferred (see Section 8.2 Alarm Activation Period).
Go! will also alert you if your baby’s abdominal movements are very weak or
fall to less than 8 movements per minute.

Section 5 Diaper/Nappy Fitment).
2. Switch on by briefly pressing the ON/OFF button (5).
3. A start-up test will illuminate the indicator lights, play the start-up tone and
perform a battery test.
4. Clip Snuza Go! onto the diaper so that the Movement Sensor (1) is in direct
contact with the baby’s skin in the tummy area (see Section 6 Fitting your
Go!).
5. The Movement Indicator Light (3) flashes on each abdominal movement.
See Section 7.2 Monitoring for a full description of what it signifies.
6. If no abdominal movement is detected for a period of 20 seconds, the full
audible alarm will sound and the Movement Indicator Light (3) will flash
red. See Section 8.2 Alarm Activation Period for a description of how to

4. QUICK START GUIDE
5. DIAPER/NAPPY FITMENT
Important: Correct diaper fitment is essential for the
operation of Go!. The thin flap of material at the top of
the diaper must be folded over the thicker part before
the diaper is closed (this is the section to which Snuza
Go! will be attached).The diaper should fit snugly on the
baby with the top of the diaper just below the belly
button. Loose fitting diapers will gape, causing the
monitor to lose contact with the baby and false alarm.A
very ‘full’ or wet diaper may also cause it to gape.
ENGLISH

6. FITTING YOUR GO!
Ensure that the Battery Cover (8) is secure. Clip your Go! all the way onto the
diaper to the full extent of the clip, as shown:-
The World Health Organisation
(WHO) recommends that
babies be placed to sleep on
their back unless advised
otherwise by a doctor.
Make sure that the Movement
Sensor (1) is in contact with the
baby’s tummy around the belly
button area, although closer to
the sides may suit different
sleeping positions.

no abdominal movement.
Ensure that Snuza Go! is switched OFF.
Press and hold the MODE/OFF button (6) for 5 seconds until the unit beeps
and both indicator lights flash briefly.

1 to 3. Press the ON/OFF button until the desired number of flashes (relating
to the desired setting) is reached. Press the MODE/OFF button (6) to store the
setting. Go! will be in the power OFF mode after the setting has been saved.
If the settings mode is entered and no button presses are detected within 30
seconds, Go! will switch to the monitoring mode (as if the unit had been
turned on using the ON/OFF button).
8.3 Movement-Rate Warning
The Movement-rate Warning alerts you if the baby moves less than 8 times
per minute – the Movement Indicator Light (3) flashes orange and the

IL FAUT TOUJOURS :
Utilisez une couche de taille correcte. Si elle
est trop large, le contact avec le détecteur
Go! risque d’être insuffisant.
Pliez la partie supérieure de la couche avant
de fixer le Snuza Go! afin de garantir une
fixation ferme. Utilisez le système de réglage
de la couche pour permettre une fixation
ferme autour du ventre.
1. IMPORTANT – A LIRE AVANT TOUTE UTILISATION!
Le détecteur de mouvement doit garder le contact en
permanence avec le ventre de bébé.
Fixez fermement le détecteur Go! sur la ceinture de la couche
pliée en enfonçant totalement la pince du détecteur Go!.
FRANÇAIS
1818
Vérifiez que le détecteur Go! est placé au
centre de la couche et que le détecteur (1) est
en contact avec le ventre de bébé.
Appuyez sur le bouton ON/OFF (5) pour activer
le contrôle.
Si la procédure ci-dessus est toujours
respectée, vous pouvez être sûr que les
mouvements abdominaux de votre bébé sont
surveillés, et que les fausses alarmes causées
par le manque de contact entre le capteur et
le ventre du bébé seront évitées.
REMARQUE:
Manipuler l’appareil Snuza avec précaution pour éviter
d’endommager le détecteur ou le clip d’attache.
