Tips for Using the Prenatal Heart Listener®
• The Prenatal Heart Listener® has powerful amplification capabilities
required to pick up the quiet sounds produced by your baby. To protect your
ears and prevent feedback (squealing sounds), do not turn on the unit
unless the listening cone is pressed against your body.
• There are many different sounds being produced by your baby and your
body. Increasing the volume also increases these sounds. Keeping the
volume at a moderate level usually produces the best results; therefore,
adjust the volume carefully.
• Your baby's heartbeat is a very low volume sound and is very difficult
to detect until the third trimester. Patience and very careful listening are
required to locate the best position to hear the heartbeat. It is perfectly
normal to hear it on some days and not others due to your baby's position
and movements. It is also normal that you will hear it one moment and not
the next. Don't worry! It is very natural for your baby to shift her position.
Troubleshooting
1. You can not hear your unborn baby with your Prenatal Heart
Listener®.
a. It may be too early in your pregnancy to hear your baby. Wait until
you are in your third trimester when the fetal heartbeat starts
becoming louder.
b. It is quite normal not to hear your baby due to her position.
Try again later. The best time to listen is 3 to 4 hours after a meal and when
you are relaxed. You may also want to try placing the Prenatal Heart
Listener® against your lower back as this may help minimize interference
from your own body's sounds.
c. Unit is not on. Turn unit on by turning the Power/Volume control
wheel to the right until you hear a click and the red power indicator
lights up.
d. Volume control is turned down. Increase the volume by turning the
Power/Volume control wheel to the right.
e. The headset is not connected to the monitor. Make sure the headset is
securely plugged into either jack on the monitor.
