1 READ ME FIRST
- The Sense-U Smart Baby Monitor is not a medical device and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- The Base Station needs to work with a 2.4GHz wireless network. Hotspot WiFi and 5GHz are not supported.
- Clip the Sense-U Baby device onto snugly fitting sleepwear (diaper/pants/etc), right next to the belly button.
- The baby icon should be orientated in the same direction as child’s body direction, to avoid incorrect position readings and false notifications.
- If the child sleeps on their side or stomach, the Sense-U Baby should be placed off center of the navel and the mattress. (Snugly fitting sleepwear is important to avoid false notifications.)
- Movement from external sources such as being pushed in a bassinet or traveling in a vehicle may be detected by the Sense-U Baby device. The Sense-U Baby Monitor should not be relied upon where external sources of movement are present.
- The monitored child must sleep in their own separate bed as the monitor may detect the movement of any other person sharing the bed with the child and will not send any notification as long as it detects movement.

2.1 How it works?
2.1.1 How the Sense-U Monitor works
The Sense-U Smart Baby Monitor is comprised of a wearable Baby Monitor device, a Base Station, and a Sense-U Baby App. It is intended to be used by parents to monitor their child’s body movement (all types of body movements, including but not limited to, rotation, flexion,extension, abdominal movement, etc.), sleeping position, ambient (feeling) temperature around belly, room temperature, room humidity level as sleep quality indicators.
The Base Station is intended to provide notifications, such as no body movement within 20 seconds, sleeping on the stomach, ambient temperature around belly / room temperature / humidity level out of preset values, with light and sound notifications from the Base Station and mobile notifications from smartphone app based on the above sleep quality indicators, to support restful sleep for the child.
2.1.2 How the App works
The Sense-U Baby app is a mobile application that is intended to be used with the Sense-U Baby Monitor, provides readings of a child’s sleeping quality indicators, including body movement, sleeping position, ambient(feeling) temperature around belly area, room temperature, room humidity level. It also provides notifications to parents based on these sleeping quality indicators, to support restful sleep for their child. The Sense-U Baby Monitor is not a medical device and is not intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
2.4GHz WiFi Network:
The Base Station communicates with the Sense-U Cloud via 2.4GHz WiFi network. The Sense-U Cloud enables the sleep quality data to be shown in the app. This enables real-time readings and notifications on the app from anywhere.
2.2 Get to know your Sense-U Monitor

- Snugly fitting sleepwear (diaper/pants/etc) is essential for accurate monitoring. For optional wearing detection function working properly, the back of the clip needs to be in contact with child’s skin tightly.
- Loose fitting sleepwear may cause the monitor to lose contact with the child and introduce false notifications.
- If the child sleeps on their side or stomach, the Sense-U Baby should be placed off center of the navel and the mattress. (Snugly fitting sleepwear is important to avoid false notifications.)
2.4.2 Measuring Temperature
Temperature tip towards the air
- Attach the Sense-U Baby to your child’s waist, next to the belly button, and face the temperature hole towards the air for feeling temperature measurement.
- Keep the baby icon in the same direction as your child's body direction to avoid unexpected readings and notifications.

5 TROUBLESHOOTING
- Where should the Sense-U Monitor be worn?
Clip Sense-U onto your child's sleepwear (diaper/pants/etc), right next to the belly button. Snugly fitting sleepwear is essential for accurate monitoring.
- What does double-shaking mean?
Shaking the Baby device twice to initiate Bluetooth pairing by flashing BLUE three or more (3+) times.
- My device does not flash when I double shake it.
Replace with a new CR2032 coin battery. The device restarts with a GREEN light flashing once.
- The Base Station is unable to connect to my WiFi network.
Make sure the WiFi password you entered is correct and the network connection is good. Move the Base Station and mobile device closer to the router and try again.
* Only 2.4GHz WiFi networks are supported (Hotspot WiFi and 5GHz WiFi are not supported).
- The Baby device cannot pair to the Base Station.
STEP 1. Make sure the Base Station is flashing GREEN before double shaking the Baby device to pair. If not, add the Baby device again from the Sense-U App->Add Device (+ icon on home page).
STEP 2. If the Baby device does not flash when double shaking it, remove the battery and plug in again. Replace with a new battery until it flashes GREEN once to restart.
STEP 3. If the Baby device only flashes GREEN when double shaking it, it means it is already connected to the Base Station or another smart device. Delete the Base Station or log out that smart device first before pairing again.
STEP 4. If the Baby device flashes BLUE but is still unable to pair, check if Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device, then move the Baby device closer to the Base Station, and other Sense-U devices and Bluetooth devices away, and try again.
* For Android devices, please make sure Location is enabled all the time for the Sense-U Baby app in Settings->Connections->Location, and Settings->Apps->Sense-U Baby->Permissions. Or else it can not pair to the device and stay connected.
- The Baby device shows as Disconnected in the app.
STEP 1. If the Base Station's indicator shows solid YELLOW dot, it means the Baby device is disconnected from the Base Station.
Check the battery level of the Baby device by double shaking the device to see if the indicator lights up, or from the Sense-U Baby App->Baby Device Settings (setup icon on the home page)->Device Information (three dot). Replace with a new CR2032 battery if necessary. Move the Baby device closer to the Base Station and it should be able to reconnect automatically.
STEP 2. If the Base Station's indicator shows a flashing GREEN circle, it means the Baby device is already connected to the Base Station. Refresh the app by tapping the On / Off button in the app, or by switching the app between foreground and background modes.
STEP 3. If the Base Station's indicator shows a flashing RED dot, it means the Base Station is unable to connect to the Sense-U Cloud server. Move the Base Station closer to your WiFi router.
STEP 4. If the Base Station does not light up and it is not in Night mode by tapping the Sense-U Baby App->Base Station Device Settings (setup icon on the home page)->Night Mode, unplug its power cable to restart.
- There is no movement reading but dashes in the app.
Turn on the Movement notification from the Sense-U Baby App->Baby Device Settings (setup icon on home screen)->Baby Notification and the movement reading will show up shortly after it detects movements. For optional wearing detection function working properly, the back of the clip needs to be in contact with child’s skin tightly.
- The device goes off while my child looks fine.
Make sure the device is clipped on snugly fitting sleepwear following the instructions. Meanwhile, you can increase the Activation Period from the Sense-U Baby App->Baby Device Settings (setup icon on the home page)->Baby Notifications-> Activation Period for slower movement patterns.
- There is no sound from my smartphone when notifications show up.
To receive audible notifications on your smart device, your smart device should not be in Do Not Disturb mode, and notifications need to be enabled for the Sense-U App in Settings->Notifications->Sense-U Baby. For Android devices, turn on and increase Media Volume in Settings->Sounds & Vibration->Volume.
