SMART SOCK FAQ'S:

WHAT COMES IN THE OWLET SMART SOCK BOX?
You will receive the base station, sock electronics, four fabric socks (in two sizes for each foot), a user manual, and a charging cord.

HOW DOES THE SOCK WORK?
The Smart Sock uses pulse oximetry to gather your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels. The electronics send your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels to the Base Station. The Base Station then sends your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels to your smartphone.

IS WIFI REQUIRED TO USE THE OWLET SMART SOCK?
The Smart Sock and Base Station connect via Bluetooth low energy. WiFi is only needed if you would like to use the app to view live readings and view them remotely. The Base Station is the primary notification system, so if your WiFi goes down or your phone dies (or you don't have it at all), the Base Station is still designed to notify. While WiFi is not required, it does make for a better user experience. HotSpot WiFi is not recommended.

WHICH AGE GROUP IS THE OWLET SMART SOCK FOR?
The Owlet Smart Sock will fit your child up to one year and fits most children up to eighteen months old. It is designed for babies up to 30 lbs.

CAN THE OWLET SMART SOCK FIT UNDER FOOTIE PAJAMAS?
Yes! The Owlet Smart Sock is low profile and will even fit under a regular sock. Just make sure the Smart Sock is directly next to the skin and be sure there's enough room for your baby's foot to fit comfortably and that the sock or footie pajamas aren't too snug.

IS THE OWLET SMART SOCK WASHABLE?
Yes, the fabric sock and sensor on the Smart Sock 3 should be hand washed regularly using a mild detergent and lukewarm water. We recommend washing the fabric sock once per week or as needed. This will help keep the product performing as intended and reduce the potential for skin irritation. Allow to air dry. Don't put in the dryer as the heat from the dryer can possibly cause the fabric to lose its shape faster. Baby's feet can sweat at night and bacteria loves to grow in warm, moist environments and regular washing will keep your little one's feet happy and healthy!

DOES THE OWLET SMART SOCK COME IN DIFFERENT SIZES?
The Owlet Smart Sock comes with 4 fabric socks, in 2 sizes for each foot. Our socks are designed to fit babies up to 18 months or from 5 to 30 pounds. Actual sizing and fit may vary as babies feet are all different shapes. It's important to get a snug fit but to never put the sock on too tight.

CAN MY SPOUSE AND I VIEW THE LIVE READINGS OF OUR CHILD VIA OUR SMARTPHONES SIMULTANEOUSLY?
Both parents may access their child's information and health statistics on the app over their respective smartphones allowing both to track their child.

DOES THE OWLET SMART SOCK WORK WITH TWINS/MULTIPLES?
Each child will need their own separate and complete Smart Sock device but with the new Owlet app, you can easily add multiple child profiles and Owlet devices all within the same app!

HOW CAN YOU STORE YOUR OWLET SMART SOCK?

WHAT IF MY PHONE DOESN'T HAVE SERVICE OR IS ON SILENT, OR MY HOME WIFI GOES OUT? DOES THE OWLET SMART SOCK ITSELF MAKE A NOISE?
Yes! The Base Station is your primary notification system for the Smart Sock. While you won’t be able to see live readings, the Base Station is designed to notify you if your baby's heart rate or oxygen levels fall out of range.

WHICH FREQUENCY DOES THE OWLET SMART SOCK USE?
