Layout of Control Unit

See illustration 8 for layout of control unit:

Lower LED

• Green Movement indicator light flashes
• Red flashing LED: Visual alarm

Operation

Please note that the green LED (power indicator) is not an indicator for movements of the baby. It only indicates that the Babysense Connect Monitor is ON. When movement is sensed, the green movement LED light flashes.

Babysense is ready for operation and use once the installation is completed. To operate, follow the below instructions:

• Place your baby in crib/bed.
• Turn control unit on by pressing ON/OFF button.
• Make sure Green Power Indicator LED is illuminated briefly.
• When any movement is sensed, the green movement light flashes. NOTE: This is not an indication of the baby's movement rate but that movement is being sensed.
• Acoustic and visual red alarm light are activated if the baby's movement stops or slows significantly. If Orange LED light flashes in 5 second intervals and Green Power LED is on (low-battery warning), replace all batteries as soon as possible. If the Orange LED continuously flashes with no Green Power LED, all batteries must be replaced immediately or fully charge the rechargable batteries (www.babysensemonitors.com/pages/bs-connect-batteries for applicable list).
• Turn off control unit by pressing ON/OFF Power Button before taking your baby out of the crib / bed. Make sure the Green LED is off and no other lights are seen thereafter, to indicate the device is turned off.

Note: Ensure that the auditory alarm can be heard in all locations throughout the home or place of care and that the Babysense Connect Control Unit is hung with the LEDs facing out so that they are easily visible.

Testing Operation

Babysense Connect is a highly sensitive device, which monitors a baby's movements through the mattress during sleep. There are two main causes of malfunction - technical malfunctions and malfunctions due to environmental factors.

Technical Malfunction

In order to minimize technical problems, follow installation and operation instructions carefully.

Environmentally Caused Malfunction

Due to the high sensitivity of Babysense Connect, fans, wind, air-conditioning, and other similar environmental devices can influence it. Such environmental factors could be picked up by the sensors on a similar level to that of slight movements, thus preventing or delaying alarm activation.

If the Babysense Connect is concurrently used with other devices, it is required to conduct the Daily Performance Test (see Daily Performance Test Section) under an environment identical to the actual situation and while all concurrently used devices are "ON". Under such conditions, it is required to verify that the acoustic and visual alarms of Babysense Connect are activated

Daily Performance Test

Do not conduct performance test by picking the baby up out of the crib/bed and waiting for the alarm to sound

• The performance test should be conducted while the baby is not in the crib/ bed. Turn device on and take two steps away from bed.
• Ensure that alarm goes off within 20 seconds (due to absence of movement).
• The alarm may sound with or without preliminary ticking.
• Check that alarm can be heard in all locations throughout the home or place of care. Please ensure that the Babysense Connect Control Unit is hung with the LEDs facing out so that they are easily visible.
• In case the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds refer to the "Troubleshooting Guide"
• The Daily Performance Test must be conducted daily and every time you move the monitor, change bedding or relocate crib/bed position.

Note: The Daily Performance Test can be conducted via the Babysense App too (found under the name "Environmental Test").

False Alarms

Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. Should one occur, check to see if caused by faulty connection of sensor pads to the control unit or if the there is no direct connection between the mattress and sensor pads. In case of false alarms, kindly refer to the "Troubleshooting Guide". If the problem cannot be solved, please contact the manufacturer's service personnel.
