Ensure you read this user guide before installing and
using the product.
Babysense is a high quality, high sensitivity electronic
device which must be handled with care:
• Do not handle roughly, drop or throw.
• Follow the installation in structions carefully to
ensure that it is installed se curely and correctly.
• Babysense is not a toy. Do not allow children of any
age to play with it.
• Do not put any additional baby or pet in the bed.
Babysense cannot be used for two infants in one bed.
• You must undertake the performance test daily of
the Babysense monitor (as set out on page 3).
• Do not operate a vaporiser or ventilator directly
towards the bed.
• To avoid possible danger from sensor cords,
ensure that excess cords are pulled back under
the mattress, secured with the i ncluded cable tie
and are not visible or reachable .
• Install 4 new and identical size AA 1.5 volt batteries,
preferably alkaline.
• IMPORTANT: It is strongly advised that ever y
caregiver learn how to give first aid.
"Babysense" monitors and alerts, but cannot prevent
cessation of breathing. The responsibility for applying first
aid rests on caretakers. The "Babysense" senses breathing
movement s and motio n only, and c annot monito r
other occurrences. The purpose of the device is to alert
when stopping or slowing of breathing and
movement occur.
"Babysense" is a unique safety system which has helped
save infants, giving parents (or caretaker) assurance,
by enabling intervention in the event of irregular
breathing movement or distress, before it becomes
critical. There are a number of cautionary steps
which are internationally recommended for SAFE
SLEEPING:
* Always lay your baby to sleep on his or her back.
* Refrain from smoking near or around your baby.
* Avoid over-heating the baby's surroundings.
* Do not leave any objects near your baby that can
cause suffocation.
Babysense is an addition to these precautions.
"Babysense" is a home breathing movement monitor
for basically healthy infants up to one year of age,
and is not to be relied on for use with high-risk infants
requiring constant medical supervision.
"Babysense" continually detects the baby's motion and
breathing movements, and will set off a sound and
visual alarm if movement stops for 20 seconds or if the
breathing rate slows to below 10 breaths per minute if
the baby's breathing. The system's non-touch sensor
pads under the mattress monitor baby's movement
without restraining him.
1. Insert, in accordance with the markings, 4 new and
identical size AA 1.5 volt batteries, preferable alkaline.
Close the battery cover.
Note: Do not mix old and new batteries.
Note: For replacing the batteries, remove the battery
cover by inserting a flat screwdriver into the opening
recess (see illustration 7).
Note: Please dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local waste regulations.
2. Place control unit holder on the base of the crib
or bed and in between two bars as shown in
illustration 1.
3. Make sure the sensitivity adjustor, located on the back
of the sensor pads, is positioned on level 3
(see illustration 2).
4. Sensor pad installation:
• When using for an infant not yet able to crawl, place
one sensor pad as shown in illustration 3. Make sure the
sensor is placed underneath the baby's position in the crib.

"Babysense" is a highly sensitive device which
monitors baby's breathing movements through the
mattress during sleep. There are two main causes of
malfunction - technical malfunctions and
malfunctions due to environmental factors.
In or der to mini mise t echnic al pro blems, foll ow
installa tion and op eration ins tructions c arefully.
Due to the high sensitivity of "Babysense", it can
be influenced by fans, wind, air condit ioning, and
so forth . Such enviro nmental effec ts could be
picked up by the sensors on a similar level to that of
breathing moveme nts, thus preventing or delaying
alarm ac tivation.
Do not conduct performance test by picking up
baby out of bed and waiting for the alarm to sound
• The pe rformance test should be conducte d
while th e baby is no t in bed.
• Turn device on and take two steps back from bed.
• Ensure the alarm g oes off wit hin 20 seco nds
(due to a bsence of b reathing mov ements).
• The al arm may sou nd with or without
prelimina ry tickin g.
• Check the alarm c an be heard in all loca tions
throughou t the home or place o f care.
• In cas e the alarm does not s ound within 20
seconds refer to trou bleshooting at page 5.
• The pe rformance test must be conducted daily.
Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. Check if caused
by faulty connection of the sensor pad(s) to the control
unit, connection of only one sensor pad when the baby
can move off the immediate area, connection of two
sensor pads far apart from each other when the baby is
not crawling yet, or failure of the sensor pads to be
directly against the mattress.
In case of false alarms, kindly refer to troubleshooting
guide. If the problem cannot be solved, please
contact your nearest BABYSENSE representative.
Act imme diately acc ording to th e following :
1. Approach the bed and check that baby is breathing.
Note pallor (color of skin), muscle tone and movement.
2. If baby doe s not seem normal, pinc h baby's heel
and chec k that there is no caus e for choki ng,
such as an obje ct lod ged i n baby ’s thro at.
When brea thing resum es, consult a doctor.
3. If breathing does not resume, apply first aid and seek
medical assistance immediately.

• Batteries are not inserted
correctly or may be flat.
• Check batteries are inserted i n the Control Unit
observing the correct pola rity.
• Control Unit requires 4 X AA 1.5V Alkaline batteries (not supplied).
• Batteries low. • Replace all 4 batteries.
• Sensor pad is out of order.
• Cable is connected to
monitor’s blocked socket.
• Connect one sensor pad lay the baby on the bed for 1 mi nute.
If the alarm does not activate, th e sensor pad is in order. If the
alarm activates, disconnect and pl ace the sensor pad aside.
• Connect the other sensor pad and repeat steps above.
• Do not connect any cables to the blocked socket (only to
“SENSOR” socket).
• The mattress is not
touching the sensor pads.
• Make sure that the mattress and the sensor pads
are touching.
• The mattress is raised
(there is an object near the
sensor pads).
• Make sure that there are no objects n ext to the sensor pads
• Placing two sensors next to
each other (or using one
sensor) when the baby is of
crawling age or using two
sensor pads far apart from
each other when baby is
young and is not crawling yet.
• Connect according to instructions.
• It is important to use only one sensor pad when the baby is young
and is not crawling yet.
• It is important to make sure that two sensor pads are used when the baby
is moving around.
• Make sure the sensors are placed underneath baby’s location in bed/crib.
• The mattress does not
enable transfer of baby
movements. (a rigid mattress,
a mattress with springs or a
mattress with air pockets).
• Place extra plywood under th e sensor pad so that the
sensor pad and the mattress will b e tightly pressed together.
• Performance test is not
correct.
• Do not conduct performance test by picking up the
baby out of bed and waiting for th e alarm to sound.
Kindly conduct performance test according to guidance in page 3.
• Environmental influences
detected by the sensor
pads, such as wind, fan, air
conditioner, mobile,
vibrations.
• Perform a test which will detect the source of the movement
that the device detects. For example, sources of wind such as: air
conditioner, an open window or a fan; movements of a baby
mobile (which can vibrate even if it's not turned on) walking
around the bed area or an intercom placed near the bed with
intense transmission levels. Solutions: Eliminate sources of wind,
remove the mobile etc. After neutralising all environmental
influences, perform the test again. If even after neutralising all of
the environmental influences, the alarm does not go off within
20 seconds, perform the following:
1. In the back of the sensor pads (see illustration 1)
reduce the sensitivity level to position 2 (on both sensor pads) and
perform again the Performance Test. If the alarm sounds within 20
seconds, than keep this sensitivity level.
2. If the alarm does not go off in time, than reduce the sensitivity
level to position 1 and perform again the Performance Test. If the
alarm sounds within 20 seconds, than keep this sensitivity level.
3. If the alarm does not go off in time at this level, than it is
suggested using only one sensor pad with the sensitivity level
adjusted on position 1.
4. PAY ATTENTION: Should false alarms sound as a result of
reduced sensitivity, than increase the level of sensitivity and
perform the Performance Test.
