1. IMPORTANT –READ FIRST!
Snuza Pico is designed to be attached to the diaper during sleep
so that your baby's movement rate, body temperature and body
position can be continuously monitored. This information is
streamed to your smart device via Bluetooth low energy
technology.
ALWAYS:
Use the correct size diaper (nappy) to
ensure that Pico sits securely on the diaper.
Fold the top of the diaper over before
attaching the Pico to ensure a firm grip. Use
the diaper adjusters to provide a snug fit
around the tummy.
To attach the Pico, lift the front lever to
release the clip. Place the clip over the folded diaper to the full
extent of the clip. Close the clip and click the locking lever closed.
Ensure that the clip is closed properly once placed on the diaper.
To start monitoring press the power button; a start-up sound will
indicate that Pico has started. Login to the App on your smart

device. Pico will sync with the App on the smart device and the
data will be displayed on the dashboard. (Note: press the refresh
button on your smart device if it doesn’t sync automatically).
For accurate position information, please go to the settings page
on the App and indicate where the Pico monitor is attached on the
diaper. Ensure that the Pico sits squarely on the diaper.
Always follow the above procedure to ensure that your baby’s
abdominal movement is being monitored.
NOTE:
Handle Snuza Pico with care to prevent damage to clip. Always
store it inside the charging cradle when travelling.

2. INTRODUCTION
Intended use:
Snuza Pico is a portable baby movement monitor which safely and
conveniently monitors your baby’s abdominal movement while sleeping.
Intended user:
This equipment is intended to be operated by the baby’s caregiver. The
caregiver must have a good understanding of the instructions and safety
measures within the user manual.
Usage environment:
Home Safety
Snuza Pico safely and conveniently monitors your baby's abdominal
movement while sleeping to provide an early intervention opportunity in
the event of no movement detected.
Pico should be clipped onto your baby's diaper (nappy) for total portability.
No cords, wires, sensor pads, or external power are required.
Pico is not suitable for co-sleeping or bed sharing.
English

4
Snuza Pico detects even the slightest abdominal movement and will alert
you if your baby’s movement stops for a period of 20 seconds. Snuza
Pico will first vibrate gently after 15 seconds in an attempt to rouse the
baby.
If the vibration succeeds in rousing the baby and breathing is detected
after such an event the Pico will continue to monitor movement. After
three vibration/rouse events, the Rouse Warning will alert you to the fact
that your baby’s abdominal movements have stopped for 15 seconds on
three occasions. The Rouse Warning is characterized by a short beep
and flashing of the yellow Movement Indicator Light (1) every 2 seconds.
Monitoring will continue when the Rouse Warning is active but will require
the caregiver to attend to the baby to investigate. The Rouse Warning
alarm can be reset by briefly turning the device off and then back on. The
repeat rouse warning feature can be disabled using the smart phone
application. Each 15 second Rouse warnings will always be notified on
the smart phone application.
The Pico will also measure the position your baby is in and your baby's
skin temperature.

3. PRECAUTIONS AND CONTRA-INDICATIONS
This device is not intended to prevent or monitor a disease or
condition such as Obstructive Apnea.
Movement from external sources such as being pushed in a pram or
travelling in a vehicle or aircraft may be detected by Pico’s sensor.
Snuza Pico should not be relied upon where external sources of
movement are present.
The monitored baby must sleep in his/her own separate bed as the
monitor may detect the abdominal movement of any other person
sharing the bed with the baby, and will not alarm as long as it detects
that movement, even if the baby stops breathing.
Radio transmitters such as cell phones, audio and video baby
monitors, cordless phones, walkie-talkies, wireless routers, etc. may
cause interference with the monitor’s ability to detect movement. The
monitor should not be placed within 2 meters of other transmitting
devices or electrical cables.
No modification of this device is allowed.
A single device should be dedicated for use with one baby only.
Small parts that have become detached for some unlikely reason
may result in a choking hazard.
In case your baby develops skin sensitivity where the device makes
contact with your baby’s skin, refer to section 8.3. If the skin
sensitivity persists, contact us via www.snuza.com.
Keep out of reach of pets, pests and other children as damage to the
device might cause it to not perform as intended.
Do not insert anything into the Speaker Holes (5).
Do not allow any liquid to enter the Speaker Holes.
Do not use undue force to bend/open/close the clip (11).

Sync your smart device with the Pico by simply pressing the refresh icon
on the App screen. You can now start monitoring your baby from your
smart device.
BASIC PICO FUNCTIONALITIES
The Movement Indicator Light flashes green on each movement.
If no movement is detected for 15 seconds, your Pico will vibrate to rouse
your baby.
If no movement is detected for a further 5 seconds, your Pico will sound
an audible alarm.
BASIC SNUZA CONNECT APP FUNCTIONALITIES
The Snuza Connect App is designed to bring you information on your
baby’s breathing rate, body position, skin temperature, fall detection and
battery levels, and to alert you if the Pico’s clip is open. Customise your
warning settings to your preference in the App.
Warnings on the App can be dismissed by swiping them from left to right.

dismissed by pressing the power button on the device.
Ensure that your smartphone is connected to the App in order to receive
all notifications and warnings.

6. DIAPER/NAPPY FITMENT
Important: Correct diaper fitment is essential for
the operation of Pico. 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 Pico 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. If baby
sleeps on his or her side, Pico should be placed
off-center of the navel and the mattress.
English

7. FITTING YOUR PICO
When attaching your Snuza monitor you should put your fingers in
between the diaper and the baby’s skin. Make sure that the monitor is
clipped securely onto the diaper and away from the baby’s skin when
clipped on in order not to harm the baby.
To attach, lift the front lever to release the clip. Place the clip over the
folded diaper to the full extent of the clip. Close the clip and click the
locking lever closed as shown:-
Make sure that the Pico is close to the baby’s tummy around the belly
button area, although closer to the sides may suit different sleeping
positions.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that babies be
placed to sleep on their back unless advised otherwise by a doctor. See
http://www.who.int/en/

8. OPERATION
8.1 Clip onto diaper
When attaching your Snuza monitor you should put your fingers in
between the baby’s diaper and the baby’s skin. Make sure that the
monitor is clipped securely onto the diaper and away from the
baby’s skin when clipped on in order not to harm the baby.
To attach lift the front lever to release the clip. Place the clip over
the folded diaper to the full extent of the clip. Close the clip and
click the locking lever closed as shown above:-
Make sure that the Pico is close to the baby’s tummy around the
belly button area, although closer to the sides may suit different
sleeping positions.
Place on tummy for back sleepers.
Place on side of tummy for belly sleepers.
Snuza Pico has a built in alarm to indicate if the clip has been
opened while in use. Before the alarm occurs, the Snuza Pico will
beep slowly for 7 seconds to warn you to switch it off or activate
the pause function. If the clip remains open for a further 3 seconds,
the Clip Open Alarm will be activated.
8.2 Switch on/off
Snuza Pico can be turned on by briefly pressing the power button
(6) and can be switched off by pressing and holding the power

button (6) for 2 seconds. The corresponding startup and shutdown
tones will be heard (refer to point 8.5).
Alternatively, Snuza Pico can also be switched on and off directly
from the App (if it has been enabled in the App settings). This
allows you the convenience of switching it on if you forgot to when
you attached it to the diaper, without disturbing your baby.
8.3 Pause
Snuza Pico was designed to monitor your baby’s movement, skin
temperature and body position while sleeping. However, to prevent
false alarms while your baby is not sleeping (such as while breast
feeding, changing the baby’s diaper, tummy time, etc.), the “Pause”
function will allow you to temporarily pause monitoring for a user-
configurable (on the App) time while, for example, breast feeding
or diaper changes take place.
The pause function can be activated directly from the App by
tapping the Pause button.
8.4 Charging
Pico's carry case (12) is a unique power charger which recharges
the built in battery by simply placing the Pico in the carry case.
