7.3 Travelling
Movement from external sources such as being pushed in a pram or travelling in a
vehicle or aircraft may be detected by Hero's sensor. Hero should not be relied upon
where external sources of movement are present.
7.4 Clothing
• Hero can be clipped onto the folded waistband of the diaper or the waistband of
elasticated pants, as long as the Movement Sensor (1) touches the baby in the
tummy area.
• There may also be a thin layer of clothing (eg a vest) between the Sensor and the
skin, but ensure that the Sensor maintains contact.
• The monitor can also be used if baby is dressed in light clothing (for example, a
Babygro) over the nappy or pants to which the Hero is attached.
• Too much clothing may attenuate or muffle the alarm. Make sure the alarm can be
heard if baby is covered in clothing and/or blankets.
7.5 Baby Sound and Video Monitors (Optional)
Hero can be used together with a baby sound or video monitor to extend the distance
at which the alarm can be heard.

If no abdominal movement at all is detected for 15 seconds, Hero gently
vibrates in an attempt to rouse the baby. The Alarm Indicator Light (4)
flashes red simultaneously. If abdominal movement is detected again within
the next 5 seconds, the Movement Indicator Light (3) will flash red on each
subsequent abdominal movement. This is an indication that there has been
an incident of no abdominal movement for 15 seconds.
If no abdominal movement at all is detected for a further 5 seconds after
the vibration stimulus (20 seconds in total), the Alarm Indicator Light (4)
flashes red and the full audible alarm sounds. The alarm can be deactivated
by briefly pressing the MODE/OFF button (7) or by turning Hero off completely
(press ON/OFF (6) and MODE/OFF (7) buttons simultaneously). If the MODE/
OFF button is used to deactivate the alarm, monitoring will continue.
