Evenflo SensorSafe Manual

General Information about SensorSafe
Secure your child into the child restraint as you would normally. The SensorSafe
Receiver Plug monitors both the Chest Clip Transmitter and the vehicle. When you
arrive at your destination and turn your vehicle off, the SensorSafe system sounds a
series of gentle tones reminding you that your baby is in the vehicle.
Install it once and SensorSafe is always ready to alert you.
Important Usage Information
• These instructions and the instructions in your vehicle owner's manual must be
followed carefully. If there is a conflict between the two, the vehicle owner's
manual regarding child restraint installation must be followed.
• SensorSafe is compatible ONLY with Evenflo Embrace Infant Car Seats that have
a maximum weight rating of greater than 13.6 kg (30 lbs).
• The SensorSafe system consists of two components:
1. The Chest Clip Transmitter and 2. The Receiver Plug. The system will not work
unless both of these components are present in the vehicle with the Receiver
installed in the vehicle's OBDII port.
Chest Clip Transmitter
• The SensorSafe Chest Clip is designed to go into a sleep mode after being
clipped for 12 hours. Although 12-hour vehicle trips without stops are
uncommon and not recommended, the Chest Clip must be opened and closed
after 12 hours to reactivate the SensorSafe system.
• The Receiver Plug works ONLY with 2008 or newer gas/diesel equipped vehicles
purchased in the U.S. or Canada. If you would like to use the SensorSafe Chest
Clip with a Hybrid or Stop/Start vehicle, please contact Evenflo's ParentLink
at: 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.), 1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00
(Mexico) to order a compatible Receiver Plug.
Battery Usage
• To preserve battery life, always store the SensorSafe Chest Clip in the un-clipped
position.
• The Chest Clip includes 1-button cell lithium battery that cannot be recharged or
replaced. Dispose of Chest Clip properly.
• Battery life under normal usage is estimated at approximately 6 years. If your
Chest Clip battery is getting low, the SensorSafe Receiver will make a "low
battery" alarm when the Chest Clip is closed. This "low battery" alarm will sound
different from the beeps you typically hear when activating your SensorSafe
system. Please contact Evenflo's ParentLink at: 1-800-233-5921 (U.S.),
1-937-773-3971 (Canada), or 01-800-706-12-00 (Mexico) to order a
replacement SensorSafe Chest Clip.
