1.1 Precautions
- The Sense-U Baby monitor is not a medical device so it is not intended to prevent or monitor disease, or condition such as Obstructive Apnea.
- Clip Sense-U Baby onto snug fit sleepwear (diaper/pants/etc), right next to belly button, with baby silkscreen in the same direction as your baby to avoid wrong position readings and false temperature alarm.
- One Sense-U Baby monitor can only connect to one smart device at any one time.
- To avoid disconnection issue, make sure the Sense-U app is running in foreground before you lock the screen and go to sleep.
- Bluetooth of your smart device needs to turn on to connect. Note: For Android phones, please make sure Location is enabled for the Sense-U App in Settings->Connections->Location, and Settings->Apps->Sense-U Baby->Permissions. Or else it may not be able to pair to the device.
- To receive audible alarms on your smartphone, notifications need to switch on for the Sense-U app in Settings->Notifications->Sense-U Baby. For Android device, make sure Media Volume is switched on in Settings->Sounds and vibration->Volume. Make sure your smartphone is not in Do Not Disturb mode.
- Movement from external sources such as being pushed in a bassinet or travelling in a vehicle may be detected by Sense-U Baby’s device. Sense-U Baby should not be relied upon where external sources of movement are present.
- The monitored baby must sleep in his/her own separate bed as the monitor may detect the activity of any other person sharing the bed with the baby, and may introduce false alarm as long as it detects activity.

1.2 Fitting Guide
Important: Snug fit sleepwear(diaper/pants/etc) is essential for the operation of the Sense-U Baby. The sleepwear should fit snugly on the baby with the Sense-U baby device clipped around belly button. Make sure baby silkscreen on the device is in the same direction as baby's body position to avoid wrong position readings.
Loose fitting sleepwear may cause the monitor to lose contact with the baby and false alarms. If baby sleeps on their side or stomach, the Sense-U Baby should be placed off-center of the navel and the mattress. (Snug fit sleepwear is important to avoid false alarms.)

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
1. 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.
2. What does double-shaking mean?
Shaking the Baby device twice to initiate Bluetooth pairing by flashing BLUE three or more (3+) times.
3. 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.
4. 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).
5. 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.

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.
