What You'll Learn
The base station alarm system
The Owlet Base Station is designed to notify you with light and sound if your child’s readings are out of the normal range or if monitoring is interrupted. There are three types of notifications: Low Priority (blue), Medium Priority (yellow), and High Priority (red).
During a Low Priority Notification, the Base Station will be solid blue and play a low notification sound. This indicates that the Sensor battery has 50 minutes of life remaining. During a Medium Priority Notification, the Base Station will flash yellow and play a medium notification sound. This indicates that BabySat is not able to get a good reading, the Base Station has lost power, the Base Station is having connection issues with the Sensor, or there is poor Sensor placement. A yellow alarm will make a three-beep sound on the Base Station with a yellow light.
A High Priority Notification will cause the Base Station to flash red and play a high notification sound. This occurs when the measured Pulse Rate goes below 50 bpm or above 220 bpm, or when the measured Oxygen Saturation goes below 80%.
It is important to note that during any active notification, you can snooze the sound for 60 seconds with a short press on the Base Station or in the Owlet app. However, if the issue is not resolved after 60 seconds, the base station will sound again. Additionally, the light ring will continue to show, and details of the notification will remain available in the app.
While the Base Station does sound an alarm, some users have reported challenges with hearing the alarm in another room or when the baby is in a different room. It is recommended to have a monitor for sound or video to hear the alarm or keep the Base Station in the same room as the baby.

How to snooze the base station alarm
The Owlet Base Station does sound an alarm in certain situations. For instance, during a High Priority Notification, the Base Station will flash red and play a high notification sound. A Medium Priority Notification will result in a yellow flashing light and a medium notification sound. A Low Priority Notification will cause the Base Station to be solid blue and play a low notification sound.
To snooze the base station alarm, you can use either the Base Station itself or the Owlet Dream App. Here's how:
Snoozing the Alarm Using the Base Station:
- When there is an active alarm, simply press and hold down the Base Station until you hear a beep and see the green light turn off.
- This will snooze the alarm sound for 60 seconds.
- Please note that this will only pause the alarm sound; the light ring on the Base Station will continue to show, indicating that the alarm condition is still active.
Snoozing the Alarm Using the Owlet Dream App:
- Open the Owlet Dream App on your mobile device.
- Navigate to the Notification Screen within the app.
- Locate the DISMISS button on the in-app Notification Screen.
- Tap the "DISMISS" button to snooze the alarm.
- Similar to snoozing via the Base Station, this will pause the alarm sound for 60 seconds, and the light ring on the Base Station will continue to show.
It is important to remember that snoozing the alarm does not resolve the underlying issue. The alarm will remain in effect until the condition that triggered it is addressed. Additionally, if a new notification occurs while the notification sounds are snoozed, the notification sound will restart.

Medium priority notifications
If the base station loses power during a monitoring session, a backup battery will support the device to send a yellow alarm, notifying you that power has been lost and your baby is no longer being monitored. In this case, you should check the connection and restore power to the base station or discontinue use.
Connection issues can also occur when the sensor is out of range of the base station, the sensor has lost power, or there is an internal problem with the sensor. To resolve this, check the range and sensor battery, and ensure that the sock is connected to Wi-Fi and within range of the base station.
It is important to note that during any active notification, you can snooze the sound for 60 seconds by pressing the base station or through the Owlet Dream App. However, this will only pause the sound, and the light ring on the base station will continue to show.

High priority notifications
The Owlet Base Station will notify you with light and sound if your child's readings are out of the normal range or if monitoring is interrupted. There are three types of notifications: yellow, blue, and red.
Red notifications are high-priority notifications. During a high-priority notification, the Base Station will flash red and play a high notification sound. You will also receive a push notification in the Owlet Dream App. A high-priority notification will occur when the measured pulse rate goes below 50 BPM or above 220 BPM. It can also be triggered when the measured oxygen saturation goes below 80%. If multiple conditions occur simultaneously that would cause a high-priority notification, the Owlet Dream App will display all of the conditions triggering the notifications.
It is important to note that the Owlet Dream Sock is not a substitute for adult supervision or safe sleep practices. Do not rely solely on the notifications to determine if your baby is safe. If you receive a red notification, the first thing you should do is check on your child and see if they are okay.
You can snooze a notification sound for 60 seconds by short-pressing the Base Station or through the Owlet Dream App. After 60 seconds, if the issue is not resolved, the base station will sound again.
