Testing Sound Reception
Test transmitter transmission and receiver reception.
Place transmitter in room in which you
intend to use it. Slide transmitter power
switch to turn power on. Turn on a radio.
If you experience interference (buzzing
or static, etc.) while using one channel
setting, switch both units to other
channel. Selecting a channel is usually
a one time adjustment.
Testing Sound Reception
Place receiver in room in which you
intend to use it. Rotate on/off/volume
dial to turn power on. Adjust receiver
location.
Notes:
• Variable light display lights when sound
is received by receiver.
• If all five bars in variable light display
light:
- Receiver power is on and transmitter
power is off.
- Receiver is too far away from
transmitter.
- Receiver and transmitter are not on
same channel.
- Loud sounds are transmitting.
Hint: If you turn receiver power on before transmitter power, you will hear a static
noise and all five bars in variable light display light. Simply turn volume down and turn
transmitter power on.

Note: Range varies depending on
surrounding conditions such as noise
levels, physical obstructions and
signal interference.
Hint: If you cannot hear your child and

Baby Sounds Monitor
Congratulations!
ou’ve heard it before, but we’ll say it again – Congratulations!
We know the anticipation is building. That’s why we've developed
our Prenatal Monitor to hear the wonderful sounds your baby
makes before she’s born! You’ll hear kicks, hiccups, and the
passing of nutrients through the placenta. And if you listen very
carefully, you may be able to hear his heartbeat!
Please keep in mind, that unlike a costly, ultrasound audio device
called a Doppler (used in your physician’s office), our Prenatal
Monitor simply amplifies sounds coming from the womb, similar
to listening through a stethoscope. For example, your baby’s
heartbeat will sound like a loud rhythmic gushing sound from a
Doppler versus a faint, fast beating drum sound from our
Prenatal Monitor. And, it’s important to understand that many
factors will affect what you'll hear with our Prenatal Monitor.
The position of the baby, baby's activity level, the baby’s weight,
your weight, the stage of pregnancy, your position and where you
place the Prenatal Monitor all contribute to what you will hear.
With a little practice and patience, you will
be able to hear and detect your baby’s
sounds. Please read this instruction manual
thoroughly for helpful hints and important
user information BEFORE using this product.
Prenatal Monitor
Headphones
Monitor
The Kit
• Please keep this instruction
manual, as it contains
important information.
• Requires one 9 volt
alkaline battery for
operation (not included).
• Adult assembly is required
for battery installation. No
tools required.
Tips for Use
• We recommend use only during the last
trimester (28-40 weeks) of pregnancy.
This is when fetal sounds are strongest.
• Do not expect this product to amplify
sounds the same way a Doppler device
amplifies sounds.
• Make sure battery power is not too low.
Use only a new, 9 volt alkaline battery
in the monitor.
• Use the monitor only in a quiet room.
• The best time to listen is 3-4 hours
after eating, when you are relaxed
and have a slower heartbeat.
IMPORTANT! Avoid laying flat on
your back for an extended period
of time while using this product.
• Use the monitor on bare skin.
Additional barriers between baby
and the amplifier will affect your
chance of hearing fetal sounds.
• Position the volume control at
a moderate level to avoid static.

Instructions
Hint: In the last trimester, the
best areas to place the listening
cone for baby's sounds is below
the belly button and to the
right side of your belly. If you
do not hear sounds, try the left
side too!
By Step

4. Shift your clothing so that
sounds best if:
- you are in a quiet room
- you are relaxed
- it is 3 - 4 hours after eating
- you are laying down or
reclined with your upper
body supported by pillows.

What Did You Hear?
Sound
What could it be?
Series of uneven thumps
Your baby’s kicking!
Two rapid, soft drumbeats
Hiccups
Whooshing or swishing
Nutrients passing through
the placenta
A beating drum
Your own heartbeat
A very soft -- rapidly beating
drum or the clippity-clop of a
galloping horse
Your baby’s heartbeat
Growling or gargling
Your own stomach's noises
or your intestine is gurgling
Sounds
Explanation
This is probably the sound most often heard. And,
we’re sure you’ll recognize kicking more by its feel
than its sound!
You might notice specific times of the day when your
baby hiccups. Also, you’ll feel a light tapping in the
same cadence of the sound – two quick thumps.
Liquid nutrients from your body are passed to your
baby through the placenta.
Your own heart beats about 100 times per minute and
will be quite audible – especially if you have the
monitor too high on your abdomen. Try lowering the
monitor to approximately two inches below and
several inches to the right of your belly button.
A fetal heart beats about 120 – 180 times a minute,
much faster than our own.
These noises are not associated with your baby.

Remember....
• We know that you’ll want to hear your baby’s
heartbeat more than any other sound! But,
patience and very careful listening are
required to locate the best position to hear your
baby’s heartbeat, which will sound like a soft,
fast beating drum. It will take a little practice to
pick up this faint sound, so listen carefully.
• It is perfectly normal to hear your baby’s
heartbeat on some days and not others due to
your baby’s position and movements. It is also
normal that you will hear a heartbeat one
moment and not the next. Don’t panic! Often
your baby is moving or is in a position where it
is difficult to pick up the heartbeat.
• Many factors will affect what you will hear with
our Prenatal Monitor. The position of your baby,
baby's activity level, baby’s weight, your weight,
the stage of pregnancy, your position and where
you place the Prenatal Monitor on your belly all
contribute to what you will hear.
• Don’t be disappointed if you do not hear your
baby’s sounds immediately. The more you use
this product, the better you will become at
detecting your baby’s sounds.
• If you have any questions about this product,
please call 687-3163.
