Reducing False Alarms
Proper electrode placement will minimize false alarms.
Make sure the electrodes are placed along the mid-line
of the side, two finger widths below or lined up with the
nipples.
If using the black reusable electrodes with the Velcro
belt, ensure the belt is quite snug. Place the electrodes
far enough apart so that when the belt is wrapped
around the baby, the electrode will be located along the
mid-line of the side, two finger widths below or lined up
with the nipples.
The skin should be clean and dry. If the skin is
unusually dry you may add a few drops of moisture
(water) to the baby’s skin prior to electrode belt
placement.
When using the black reusable electrodes ensure that
the electrode surface is clean.
The optional green (RL) electrode and lead wire may
help reduce EMI interference. Place the green
electrode along the outside of baby’s upper thigh.

Refer to the Synergy-E Manual for more information on how to check signal quality using
a modem or using a direct-connect cable.
