of to ensure that the monitor operates properly. If you are unsure of how

Your Babysense2 monitor is designed to be an aid for use with
healthy infants up to one year of age and should not be used as
a substitute for responsible and proper adult supervision of your

The Babysense2 monitor has been designed to provide an alert in the
form of an alarm if your baby’s breathing movement rate slows below
10 breaths per minute or cannot be detected for more than 20 seconds.
However, you must always stay within hearing range of the alarm control
unit (as determined from your daily testing of the product) during use and
keep background noise to a minimum. Each home or place of care will
have a different hearing range. It is important to determine the correct
hearing range in every location that you use Babysense2 for the product
to adequately assist you.
