Operating your Roo

• Follow the illustration above / below? to wrap the Positioning Belt around the abdomen reasonably tight. The top of the belt should be about 1-2 inches below the navel.

Note:
The positioning belt must be worn when using the device. Proper use of the positioning belt can increase the probability of hearing the baby’s heartbeat.

• Get into a reclining position in bed, on a sofa, or in a recliner with your upper body elevated by pillows. Put the Roo device in the middle of your stomach and the positioning belt. The rubber side of the device needs to be positioned completely on the abdomen and placed inside the positioning belt.

Note: The best time to listen is 3-4 hours after eating and when you are relaxed.

• Open the Hubble app and follow the in-app instructions to read the measurement, then listen to your baby’s heartbeat sound. The normal heart rate of the fetus is between 110 and 180 beats per minute.
• If there is no signal obtained over 50 seconds, the app will pop up a retry request.

The baby’s dynamic level will affect the heart rate. In order to reduce interference, please try not to touch the device when using it. If you can’t find the heartbeat, don’t worry, sometimes it’s normal to be a bit difficult. Familiarity with the process will gradually improve. The position of the baby, the dynamics and the distance of the fetus from the placenta can affect the effect.

Troubleshooting

What if the Roo has lost its Bluetooth® link with your Smart Device?

• Make sure the battery built into the Roo is fully charged.

• If your Smart Device is too far away it may be going out of range, so move the Smart Device closer to the Roo (within 10 meters).

• Make sure the device is added in the Hubble app, see if there is a need to pair the Roo and your Smart Device again.

• The use of other 2.4 GHz products, such as wireless networks (WiFi® routers), Bluetooth™ systems, or microwave ovens, may cause interference with this product. Keep the Roo at least 5ft (1.5m) away
  from these types of products, or turn them off if they appear to be causing interference.
  Why did my Smart Device sync during my first use, but now it won’t sync or give any activity?

• Make sure the Hubble app is opened when you want to read the activity.

• Remove your Roo from the app. Re-pair the device with your Smart device by adding the Roo back to the app.
  What is the best period for optimal detection?
  The system will usually begin to detect baby sounds at the beginning of your third trimester – typically around 24 weeks. At this stage of your pregnancy, adjust the position of the Roo sensors between your navel and pubic bone.

I can feel my baby is moving however the device is not able to read the heartbeat?

• Your baby is quite active and moves often. It is not unusual for your baby to move into a position where the heartbeat cannot be heard, especially during the earlier months of your pregnancy. If your baby moves while you are listening, simply change the position of the Roo or try again later. If your baby is particularly active, the kicking sounds may make it diffi cult to hear the drumming of the tiny heartbeat.
• Your weight before and during pregnancy may affect how early the system can detect your baby’s heartbeat. A slender mother will generally hear the baby’s heartbeat earlier in her pregnancy. This is a passive listening device and, therefore, it has no means of penetrating your body’s insulating layer of fat. Mothers with a larger percentage of fat may have to wait a few more weeks until the baby’s heartbeat becomes strong enough to be heard.

How long does the Roo battery last and how can I change it?
The battery usually lasts for 5 days and charging is easy. Simply plug the USB charging cord into the Roo; a full charge usually takes 10 hours.
What else can I use the app for?
With the “Hubble Connected” app, you can access a free Prenatal Tracker to conveniently log and keep track of different activities such as water intake, kicks, a bump tracker, and a weight tracker. There’s also a section in the app with pregnancy tips from leading organizations and answers to frequently asked questions.
I still have a question about my Roo, where can I get help?
