Place the sensor pad between the cot mattress and the cot base, directly under the area where your baby will be sleeping.
Ensure the sensor pad is positioned the correct way up and that the connecting cord is fed through the base of the cot out of accessibility range of your baby (50cm from the surface of mattress) and other young children.
If the cot has a solid base it may be necessary to make a small hole through which the connecting cord can pass.
Ensure the connecting cord plug is pushed fully into the socket underneath the baby unit.
Do not hang cable over the top or through the bars of the cot.
Place the cable down and onto the floor.
