Important Safety Precautions - Real Care Baby II-plus Operating Handbook

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

!
!
Baby and all its supplies contain NO latex, mercury, or lead.
Baby may cry while the student is driving. Please be aware that crying may start
unexpectedly, and the student should be prepared.
Failure to install Baby in a car seat in a motor vehicle could result in Baby or
supplies becoming projectiles in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
Do not feed, burp, rock, change diapers, or otherwise care for Baby while driving.
The student must bring his or her vehicle to a complete stop in a safe location before
caring for Baby, or to retrieve a piece of Baby's equipment that falls.
Do not place Baby in or near water.
Baby's clothing is NOT fl ame retardant and should NOT be worn by real infants.
Instructors should make sure all clothing is returned with Baby.
Do not place Baby on or near a stove, especially while cooking.
Loud crying near people with potentially serious physical conditions, such as those
susceptible to heart attack or stroke, should be avoided.
Do not allow small children to play with Baby. Baby's hands and feet are small
enough to be a choking hazard. Baby is not suitable for children under three, and
not recommended for those under 10.
Baby's crying or other sounds may cause pets to become agitated or aggressive.
Keep Baby out of the reach of pets or other animals.
Never leave Baby unattended in a public place given the potential for Baby to be
mistaken for a real infant.
To avoid straining your arms, use an infant car seat or carrier to transport Baby
rather than holding Baby at all times. Holding techniques are listed on the Student
Care Card that accompanies Baby.
Baby weighs 6.5 to 7 pounds and could cause discomfort for individuals with back pain.
Do not operate any type of equipment or attempt tasks requiring the use of both
hands while holding Baby.
Batteries may explode, leak, cause property damage, or cause personal injury if
disposed of in fi re, stored in direct sunlight, or stored in an area of excessive heat.
The battery module should not be plugged in for long periods of time (more than
one month).
The battery module stores best at low charge, not plugged in, and in a cool
environment.
It is normal for the battery module to get warm during charging. The module has
thermal protection in case of overcharge.
The battery module should not be replaced by the user — only by Realityworks
employees.
Only use the charger(s) or charging station(s) supplied by Realityworks.
To prevent discoloration and fading, do not store Baby in direct sunlight or in an
area of excessive heat.
Baby should sleep somewhere close to the student's sleeping quarters, but not in
bed with the student. Baby may fall out of the bed or the student could roll over
on it causing damage to Baby and discomfort to the student.
The student must never take the wristband and ID off. Not only will he or she be
deducted points, but the ID may be lost, or the student may stumble around in the
dark looking for it if Baby cries during the night.
The student should make a note in his or her diary where he/she had to delay
caring for Baby because his/her safety or the safety of others may have been
compromised.
