IMPORTANT USE AND SAFETY WARNING

It is essential that all users of your Babysense7 monitor read and understand this user guide thoroughly before installing or using the product. This user guide contains detailed information on installation and operation of the Babysense7 monitor which all users need to be aware of to ensure that the monitor operates properly. If you are unsure of how to install and operate the Babysense7 monitor, please contact Customer Support on (02) 4574 8888.

Your Babysense7 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 baby.

The Babysense7 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 Babysense7 for the product to adequately assist you.

Babysense7 is a high quality, high sensitivity medical device which must be handled with care. The following steps are recommended for the best operation of the Babysense7:

• You must undertake the performance test daily and every time you move the monitor, change bedding or relocate baby’s cot or bassinet position (as set out in this user guide on page 10).
• Make sure the control unit and cables are kept out of reach of your baby and other young children.
• Never place the control unit inside your baby’s cot or bassinet.

WARNING : To avoid possible danger of strangulation from cords, keep the cords out of reach of children. Ensure that excess cords are secured with the included cable tie.

• Do not place the cords in a high “wear and tear” location.
• Never use a frayed or damaged cord.
• Never cover the control unit with clothes, towels or blankets or any other item.
• Never use or place your control unit in or near water (e.g. near a bath).
• Do not handle roughly, drop or throw the monitor.
• Follow the installation instructions carefully to ensure that it is installed securely and correctly.
• Babysense7 is not a toy. Do not allow children of any age to play with it.
• Do not operate vaporizer or ventilator directly towards the bed.
• Babysense7 will not work with another living being present in the same cot or bassinet as your baby.
• Ensure adequately charged batteries are used at all times.
• Babysense7 sensor pads must be properly placed below the mattress of your baby’s cot or bassinet. Do not place the sensor pads above the mattress.
• Please remove batteries if the device is not in use for more than 3 months.
• If you have any problems with this device, such as setting up, maintaining or using, please contact Oricom. Also please report any unexpected operation or events that occur.
• Do not use the equipment if you notice a change in the system’s performance, if the system is damaged, or if any of its components are worn or frayed.
• Babysense7 should not be used close to or with other equipment. If use near other equipment is necessary, verification of normal operation in that configuration is necessary.
• All RF transmitting devices should be located at least 1m away from Babysense7 cabling and sensor pads, as these devices may interfere with the operation of Babysense7.

IMPORTANT : It is strongly advised that every caregiver learn how to administer first aid.

General Information

During the first year of life infants may experience irregular breathing patterns. These signs may indicate a cold, fever, or other illness. Babysense7 is an infant apnoea alarm which gives parents (or caretakers) some comfort, by improving the possibility of intervention in the event of irregular breathing movement rate or distress.

What is Babysense7?
Babysense7 is a home breathing movement rate monitor designed to be an aid for use with healthy infants up to one year of age and is not to be relied on for use with infants requiring medical attention or supervision. Medically trained staff such as nurses or non-medically trained users such as parents or caregivers may use the Babysense7. The Babysense7 is intended for home use. If you have any concerns about your baby’s health, always consult a medical practitioner. Babysense7 continually detects your baby’s breathing movement rate and will set off a sound and visual alarm if the breathing movement rate slows to below 10 breaths per minute or cannot be detected for more than 20 seconds. Check that the alarm can be heard in all locations throughout the home or place of care. The system’s non-touch sensor pads under the mattress monitor your baby’s breathing movement rate without impeding your baby.

Principle Of Operation

Babysense7 continually detects baby’s breathing movement rate, and will set off a sound and visual alarm if breathing movement stops for 20 seconds or if the breathing movement rate slows to below 10 breaths per minute. The system’s non-touch sensor pads under the mattress monitor baby’s breathing movement without restraining baby.

Installation

1. Remove battery cover by inserting a flat screw driver into the opening recess and insert, in accordance with the markings, 4 new and identical size AA 1.5 volt high quality Alkaline batteries, close cover.

Note: Please dispose of used batteries in accordance with local waste regulations.

2. Place control unit holder on the base of the cot and in between two bars as shown in illustration 1.

3. Sensor pad installation:

• When using for infant not yet able to crawl, place one sensor pad as shown in illustration 2. Make sure the sensor is placed underneath baby’s location in crib.
• When baby begins to crawl, and is able to move onto areas not “covered” by a single sensor pad, attach the second sensor and place the two sensors as shown in illustration 2.

PLEASE NOTE: The sensors shall be placed with the marking “THIS SIDE UP” facing upwards.

4. Pass the cord(s) of the sensor pad(s) through special openings in the holder as shown in illustration 3.

PLEASE NOTE : DO NOT ATTACH THE CONTROL UNIT TO THE TOP RAIL OF THE COT. DO NOT EXTEND CABLES IN ANYWAY.

5. Attach end(s) of the cord(s) to the outlets marked “SENSOR” on the back of control unit (as shown in illustration 4 and 5). When using one sensor pad, attach to any “SENSOR” outlet.

PLEASE NOTE: Do not attach any cable to the blocked socket, marked “DO NOT USE”.

6. Should the design of the cot not allow proper installation with the control unit holder, please use the supplied hanging hook (as shown in illustration 5). Hang the control unit from the bottom edge of the cot or affix the hook with a screw (not supplied) to the bottom edge of the cot and hang the control unit from the bottom edge of the cot.

7. Press control unit holder or hanging hook firmly into slot in back of control unit as shown in illustration 5 and 6.

8. Place mattress firmly on top of sensor pads. When using with a slat based cot, ensure the sensor pads are stable & supported adequately. If the mattress cannot be in direct contact with the sensor pads, or if the cot base is soft or padded, place plywood (not supplied) on the cot base, place the sensor pads on the plywood and place the mattress firmly on top to enable full contact of the sensor pads with the mattress.

IMPORTANT WARNING : To avoid possible danger of strangulation from cords, keep the cords out of reach of children. Ensure that excess cords are secured with the included cable tie.

• Turn device on and leave the room.
• Ensure that alarm goes off within 20 seconds (due to absence of breathing movements).
• In the case that the alarm does not sound within 20 seconds refer to troubleshooting on page 14.
• 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.
• This performance test must be conducted daily and every time you move the monitor, change bedding or relocate basenet/cot position.

IMPORTANT : You should not rely on Babysense7 in any location throughout the home or place of care where the alarm cannot be heard.

Babysense7 is an exceedingly sensitive device which monitors baby’s breathing movements through the mattress during sleep. There are two main causes of malfunction.

Technical malfunction

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

Potential environmental disturbances

Due to the extreme sensitivity of Babysense7, it can be influenced by fans, wind, air conditioning, humidifier, cot mobile, ceiling projector etc. Such environmental effects could be picked up by the sensors on a similar level to that of breathing movements, thus preventing or delaying alarm activation. To ensure your Babysense7 is operating correctly, you must undertake the required daily performance test (as set out in this user guide on page 10).

Locating and dealing with environmental disturbances

During testing outlined on page 10, if the alarm does not sound after 20 seconds, eliminate all environmental disturbances by actions such as changing ventilation (the direction of the airflow of a fan or air conditioning vent), removing cot mobile, closing windows, and repositioning the cot etc. Babysense7 cannot be used for two infants in one cot. Never allow animals in the cot. Do not operate vaporizer or ventilator directly towards the cot.

In the event of alarm

In the event of alarm commence first aid, and seek the assistance of emergency services and/or medical advice. IMPORTANT: It is strongly advised that every caregiver to your baby learn how to administer first aid.

False alarms

Isolated cases of false alarms are possible. If this occurs, check if this is caused by:

• a faulty connection between the sensor pad(s) and the control unit;
• connection of only one sensor pad when your baby can move off the immediate area;
• connection of two sensor pads far apart from each other when baby is not crawling yet; or
• failure of the sensor pads to be directly against the mattress.
• The compositions of some mattresses may not conduct vibrations associated with babies breathing movement and may not be suitable with Babysense7.

Do not use Babysense7 with a memory foam mattress.

• In case of false alarms, kindly refer to troubleshooting guide. Please contact Oricom Customer Support team with any product related questions.

Please note

Babysense7 monitors and alerts with respect to breathing movement rates, but cannot prevent cessation of breathing. The responsibility for applying first aid rests on you.

Caring for your Babysense7

Warning

Babysense7 is a high quality, high sensitivity electronic device which must be handled with care:

• Do not handle roughly, drop or throw.
