What if I am not hearing any sounds?

How well you hear your baby depends on his position inside your womb. His heartbeat will be heard the best when his back is against your stomach.  Make sure you are far enough along in your pregnancy. Most mothers can hear their baby's sounds at the beginning of their third trimester.

How do I know the monitor is working, if I don't hear any sounds?

Test the monitor on yourself.  If you can hear your own heartbeat, you know the monitor is working properly.

Your doctor will be using Doppler equipment, which turns movement into electronic noise.  The Bebe Sounds Pre-natal Heart Monitor will amplify the natural sounds your baby is making.

How do I record my baby's sounds?

Simply attach one end of the recording cable to the monitor and insert the other end into the input of your recording device.

Can I listen to my baby and record her sounds at the same time?

Why is my video screen in black and white?

Make sure that the channel setting (A, B, C, or D) on the camera is matching that on the monitor.
