Babysense II Infant Movement Monitor

User Instruction Manual

Introduction

The Babysense II Infant Movement Monitor is designed to constantly monitor a baby's slightest movements. This system includes a main monitor unit and two round sensor pads. It is engineered to provide peace of mind by detecting micro-movements that cannot be seen or heard by traditional monitors.

The system is easy to install and operates with a single button. It utilizes patented, safe, and proven technology, offering a touchless sensing solution for worry-free sleep.

  • Monitor Unit: The central processing unit with indicator lights and alarm.
  • Sensor Pads (x2): Circular pads designed to be placed under the mattress to detect movement.
  • Connecting Cable: To connect sensor pads to the monitor unit.
  • Hanging Bracket: For mounting the monitor unit to the crib.

Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of your Babysense II monitor.

  1. Prepare the Crib: Ensure the crib has a solid, flat foundation under the mattress. If the crib base is slatted, it is recommended to place a rigid board (e.g., plywood) on top of the slats to provide a stable surface for the sensor pads.
  2. Position Sensor Pads:
    • For standard cribs, place both sensor pads side-by-side under the mattress, ensuring they are centered where the baby will sleep. The "THIS SIDE UP" label should face upwards.
    • For smaller beds, bassinets, or travel cribs, one sensor pad may suffice. Ensure it is centrally located.
    • Ensure the sensor pads are placed directly on a flat, hard surface, not on soft bedding or blankets.
  3. Connect Sensor Pads: Plug the connecting cables from the sensor pads into the designated ports on the monitor unit.
  4. Mount Monitor Unit: Attach the monitor unit to the crib rail using the provided hanging bracket. Ensure it is securely fastened and out of reach of the baby. The unit should be positioned so that the indicator lights are clearly visible.
  5. Insert Batteries: The Babysense II operates on standard AA batteries. Open the battery compartment on the monitor unit and insert the required AA batteries, observing polarity.

Operating Instructions

The Babysense II monitor is designed for simple, one-button operation.

  1. Power On: Press the power button on the monitor unit. The green indicator light will illuminate, indicating the unit is active and monitoring.
  2. Monitoring: The green light will flash with each detected movement of the baby. This visual confirmation assures you that the system is working correctly.
  3. Alarm Conditions: The alarm will sound under two primary conditions:
    • If no movement is detected for more than 20 seconds.
    • If the monitor detects less than 10 micro-movements per minute.

    When an alarm sounds, the red indicator light will flash. Immediately check on your baby.

  4. Power Off: Press and hold the power button to turn off the monitor unit when not in use.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the monitor unit and sensor pads with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse any part of the unit in water.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace AA batteries as needed. If the low battery indicator illuminates, replace all batteries promptly to ensure continuous operation.
  • Storage: Store the unit in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Sensor Pad Care: Ensure sensor pads remain flat and are not bent or creased, as this can affect their sensitivity.
