Operating Instructions

Monitoring Live Readings
- Owlet App: Open the Owlet app on your smartphone to view live readings of your baby's heart rate and oxygen level. The app also streams high-definition video and audio from the camera.

Understanding Notifications
The Owlet system is designed to alert you to significant changes. Familiarize yourself with the different alert types:
- Red Alert: Indicates readings outside of preset safe zones (e.g., low oxygen, high/low heart rate). The Base Station will sound an alarm and flash red. Your phone will also receive a critical notification.
- Yellow Alert: Indicates a sock placement issue or a connection problem. The Base Station will sound a softer alert and flash yellow.
- Blue Alert: Indicates the Smart Sock is disconnected from the Base Station or out of range.

- Navigate to the "History" or "Sleep" section within the app.
- View total hours slept, number of wakings, and sleep quality metrics (light, deep sleep).
- Analyze trends over time to better understand your baby's sleep patterns.
