The Base Station location is essential for proper performance and safety.
The best location for the Base Station may NOT be your baby’s room
depending on your home. During the day, you may have to move the Base
Station so you can always hear it. Keep the Base Station where:
1. You can always HEAR it
The Base Station is the primary source for all alarms, both audible and
visual. It should be located so that the Caregiver can hear alarms over any
background noise.
It will WAKE you up at night
The Base Station should be located to wake up Caregivers during alarms.
The Base Station lights will automatically dim in darker rooms.
It can connect to your home Wi-Fi network
The Base Station must be within the range of your home Wi-Fi network. Once
set up, verify connection using the Wi-Fi light on the bottom of the Base
Station or the Owlet Care+ App. If the connection is unstable, move the Base
Station until the connection is stable.
It can talk to the Sensor (within 100 feet)
