Printed in Hong Kong 00000-0000 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.

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. Battery Compartment Door Battery Compartment Battery Installation 10 • Press down on the battery compartment door finger tab.
