4. QUICK START GUIDE

1. Important: Use the correct diaper size and make sure it fits snugly (see Section 5

Diaper/Nappy Fitment ).

2. Switch on by briefly pressing the ON/OFF button (6).
3. A start-up test will illuminate the indicator lights, vibrate the stimulator, play the
start-up tone and perform a battery test.
4. Clip Hero onto the diaper so that the Movement Sensor (1) is in direct
contact with the baby's tummy (see Section 6 Fitting your Hero).
5. The Movement Indicator Light (3) flashes on each abdominal movement. See
Section 7.2 Monitoring for a full description of what it signifies.
6. If abdominal movement is not detected for 15 seconds, the vibrating stimulator will
attempt to rouse the baby.
7. If further abdominal movement is detected within 5 seconds after a vibration, the
Movement Indicator Light (3) will flash red to indicate that there has been a
15-second period of no abdominal movement.
8. After three vibrations, the Rouse Warning is activated – Hero beeps every
2 seconds and the Movement Indicator Light (3) flashes red with every beep.
9. If the period of no abdominal movement reaches 20 seconds, the full audible
alarm will sound and the Alarm Indicator Light (4) will flash red.
10. The alarm can be deactivated by briefly pressing the MODE/OFF button (7) and
monitoring will continue.
11.To switch off the monitor, press both the ON/OFF (6) and MODE/OFF (7) buttons
simultaneously. A shutdown tone will be heard.
5. DIAPER/NAPPY FITMENT
Important: Correct diaper fitment is
essential for the operation of Hero. The thin
flap of material at the top of the diaper must
be folded over the thicker part before the
diaper is closed (this is the section to which Hero will be attached). The diaper should
fit snugly on the baby with the top of the diaper just below the belly button. Loose
fitting diapers will gape, causing the monitor to lose contact with the baby and false
alarm. A very 'full' or wet diaper may also cause it to gape.

6. FITTING YOUR HERO

When attaching Hero to the diaper, put your
fingers between the diaper and baby's skin
in order to make sure that you do not trap
baby's skin in the clip.
Ensure that the Battery Cover (9) is secure.
Clip your Hero all the way onto the diaper to
the full extent of the clip, as shown:
Make sure that the Movement Sensor (1) is
in contact with the baby's tummy around the
belly button area, although closer to the
sides may suit different sleeping positions.
* The soft sensor tip on the monitor is made from medical grade silicone and is
hypoallergenic. In the unlikely event that a red friction mark is noticed on the baby's
skin where the monitor was positioned, then we recommend that a thin layer of
clothing is placed between the baby's skin and the monitor. The position of the monitor
must also be changed to a different location on the tummy, away from where the red
mark was noticed and preferably closer to the side.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends that babies be placed to sleep on
their back unless advised otherwise by a doctor.

7. OPERATION

7.1 Startup

Switch on by briefly pressing the ON/OFF button (6). A startup-test will run which will
turn on (in sequence) all indicator lights, vibration stimulator and audible alarm. The
Battery Indicator Light (2) will flash briefly as follows:
Green
Battery OK
Orange Battery nearing depletion – replace battery
Red Battery flat – Hero will not monitor, replace battery
Warning: Ensure that all lights, vibrator and alarm are working properly and that the
battery level is high enough for proper operation (i.e. green or orange light).
