hear an alert tone. To stop the alert tone, press any

up quieter background noises.
You can change the level of sensitivity to suit your baby.
For example, if your baby is a particularly quiet sleeper,
you can increase the sensitivity levels so that you are
sure to hear if baby disturbs or becomes uncomfortable.
