Introduction
The Babysense 7 is a highly sensitive, non-contact infant movement monitor designed to provide peace of mind to parents. It detects even the slightest movements through the mattress, alerting you if no movement is detected within 20 seconds or if the movement rate slows significantly. This system is non-wearable and does not require Wi-Fi or an internet connection, ensuring a secure and stable monitoring environment.

Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the accurate operation of your Babysense 7 monitor. Follow these steps carefully:
- Prepare the Crib: Ensure the crib has a hard, rigid base. The Babysense 7 is compatible with most baby cribs and beds with a hard base.
Important Note:
This monitor is not suitable for use with memory foam mattresses, as memory foam will not work properly with the Babysense Movement Monitor.
- Place Sensor Pads:
- For newborns and infants who are not yet crawling, place one sensor pad directly on the crib base, centered under where the baby will sleep.
- Once your baby begins to crawl or move significantly in the crib, use both sensor pads. Place them side-by-side on the crib base, ensuring they cover the entire sleeping area. The pads should be placed with the Babysense logo facing upwards.

- Connect Control Unit: Connect the sensor pad cables to the corresponding sockets on the control unit. Ensure the connections are secure.
- Mount Control Unit: Attach the control unit holder to the side of the crib using the provided hanging hook. The control unit should be positioned outside the crib, away from the baby's reach, with the cables neatly tucked away to eliminate entanglement risks.
