- READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE AND KEEP THEM FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE.

- IT IS RECOMMENDED TO INSTALL AND USE ALLY PAD ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED IN THIS MANUAL.

• It is recommended that you make yourself familiar with the device by checking its functionality and performing usage tests.

• It is recommended that you read the instructions of your smartphone carefully and make yourself familiar with its features.

• It is recommended that you read carefully the instructions of the restraint system on which Ally Pad will be installed.

• Ally Pad is an alarm device designed to reduce the risk of leaving children unattended when they are on the car restraint system.
• Ally Pad device consists of a cushion with sensors to be used in combination with Inglesina's car restraint system and an App installed on the smartphone.
• The use of the device does not replace in any case the responsibility and/or the supervision of the driver of the car (and/or of the other occupants of the car). Ally Pad is only a support tool and does not eliminate the risk of serious injury or death due to leaving the child unattended in the car.
  Never leave the child unattended in the car.
• L'Inglesina Baby S.p.A. cannot in any way be held responsible in case of events and/or prejudicial consequences (also linked to the incorrect operation of the electronic device) of any kind, as Ally Pad is only an aid and alarm tool for the prevention of events and/or consequences caused by carelessness.
• The Ally Pad device is designed for use only with children

between 0 and 4 years of age provided that they are placed on approved restraint systems in compliance with the regulations in force.

- We recommend that you consult your doctor before employing Ally Pad with children using medical devices, as Ally Pad is equipped with a Bluetooth® Low Energy device that emits electromagnetic waves.

- This device is designed exclusively for use in cars with the Inglesina Restraint Systems listed on inglesina.com.

- If the product is used outside Italy, it is recommended to check the provisions of the laws in force in the countries of destination and/or transit.

- Ally Pad is installed on the car's restraint system as shown in the sequences and is able to detect the weight and therefore the presence of the child on it.

Thanks to the app available on the digital App stores (eg Apple Store®, Google Play®, Huawei AppGallery®, ...) the parent/adult is alerted by an alarm notification (1st level alarm) if they move away from the car leaving the child unattended on the Restraint System.

In addition, if the parent/adult does not intervene, an alarm text message (2nd level alarm) containing the approximate position of the car is forwarded to a predefined list of contacts, as long as the geolocation function is active on the smartphone.

• IMPORTANT: emergency numbers must be mobile phone numbers, not landline numbers or national emergency numbers.
• IMPORTANT: always check the correctness and operation of the emergency numbers after completing their entry.
• System requirements for original Android operating systems: compatibility with operating system 5.0 and higher.
• System requirements for original iOS operating systems: compatibility with operating system 10.0 and higher.
  • However, it is advisable to previously check the compatibility of the smartphone used with the version of the App available.
• Communication Technology: Bluetooth® Low Energy.
  • Frequency band: 2.4 - 2.485 GHz.
  • Transmission power: 2.51 mW.
  • Power supply: battery, that cannot be replaced.
• The level of the battery inside the Ally Pad device can be monitored through the App.
• Operating temperature: -20^ + 60^ .
• The correct preservation of the device (outside the daily use in the car) is important to keep its operation unaltered and must respect the temperature limits (from -20^ to +60^ ).

• Checks to be carried out each time you use Ally Pad:

• verify the actual connection between cushion and smartphone with the child on the restraint system, as described in the sequences.

• the smartphone must be switched on and have sufficient battery charge for the time of use in combination with Ally Pad.
• the Bluetooth ^® must be active.
• the "airplane" mode must be deactivated.
• the smartphone's SIM card must have enough phone and data credit.
• the GPS must always be active.
• check that the App is always active in the background:

- After restarting the smartphone, as some operating systems require a manual restart of the App to have full functionality.

- As a result of cleaning the cache and data of the App, through specific applications of the operating system and / or through other third-party applications.

• verify that the data network is active and that network and data connection is sufficient.
• when leaving the vehicle, make sure you always carry with you your smartphone connected to the cushion.
• if you use two or more smartphones at the same time on which the App is installed, you must identify the

one actually connected to the cushion mounted on the retention system.

• IMPORTANT: if there are two smartphones previously paired with the cushion in the same car and the Ally Pad App is active, the device will only connect to one of them, depending on the responsiveness of the Bluetooth® system of the individual smartphone. This condition cannot be changed until the Bluetooth® signal is lost.
• Ally Pad only works with smartphones with the Ally Pad App installed and regularly connected to the cushion.
• If you switch off your smartphone, the Ally Pad device will not work.
• If you damage the Bluetooth®, the Ally Pad device will not work.
• The Ally Pad device does not work with the "airplane" mode active.
• If there is no data network connection available and active, the Ally Pad App sends the first level alarm but it is not able to send text messages to emergency numbers (second level alarm).
• The Ally Pad App should only be downloaded from official stores.

• Check that the Ally Pad App is up to date.

• Check that your smartphone's operating system is up to date.

• Periodically check the contract conditions with your phone provider.
• It is recommended to use different accounts for each member of the family using the same Ally Pad.
• If you clone your smartphone or install new applications, make sure the Ally Pad App is working correctly.
• Ally Pad does not interfere with the normal operation of the Bluetooth® system that may be present in the vehicle.
• The smartphone with the Ally Pad App paired and active is an integral part of the device, therefore it is recommended to supervise the possible use by third parties (example: the child can stop the alarm by playing, etc.).
• When the pad is not used, it must be stored out of reach of children. The pad shall not be used as a toy! Do not let the child play with it.
  • After any period of inactivity, check that the device is working correctly before use.
• If the child is not seated on the restraint system equipped with active device, the Ally Pad device does not work.
• If your child is not seated on the restraint system according to the user manual, the Ally Pad device may not work.
• Do not use the Ally Pad device if it is damaged, has no operating instructions or lacks some components.
• It is recommended to verify the correct operation of Ally Pad, if the vehicle on which it is present is involved in an accident.
  • In case of doubt, please contact the Retailer or the Inglesina Customer Care service.
  • L'Inglesina Baby S.p.A. advises that Ally Pad should not be bought second-hand. It may have invisible damages that affect its performances.
• For the safety of your child, remove and eliminate all plastic bags and elements belonging to the packaging before use and, in any case, keep them out of reach of newborns and children.
• Assembly, disassembly and adjustments must be carried out only by adults. Make sure that the person using the product (baby-sitter, grandparents, etc.) are aware of its correct operation.
• To avoid the risk of overheating, keep Ally Pad away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves, cookers, etc.
• Do not drop, hit, shake or fold the cushion, as its circuits and internal mechanisms may be damaged.
• Avoid Ally Pad contact with any kind of liquid. If a liquid comes into contact with the cushion, remove the textile lining and allow it to dry. Meanwhile, gently wipe the surface of the sensor with a dry cloth. Wait and verify that Ally Pad

is working correctly. In case of operation failure or doubt, please contact the Inglesina Customer Care service.

• It is recommended not to use and/or add to the restraint system reducers and/or accessories other than those supplied or approved by L'Inglesina Baby S.p.A.
• Do not make any alterations or additions to the device without the approval of the relevant Authority. Unauthorized technical changes may cause the function of Ally Pad to be reduced or completely eliminated.
• The conformity check will be invalidated if any changes are made to the device.
• Do not remove the adhesive and sewn labels. The removal of these labels could result in the product not complying with the law.
• Never use the pad without the lining as it is an integral part of the device and is essential for safety purposes.
• When using the device on car seats in Group 2/3 configuration (15-36 kg), always place the specific insert supplied in the package.

Directive 2012/19/EU

• European directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) prohibits the disposal of this equipment in the normal flow for solid urban waste, instead ordering it to be collected separately to optimise the flow of recovery and recycling of the materials it is made up of and prevent potential harm to health and the environment due to the presence of potentially hazardous substances. The crossed-out bin symbol is shown on all products as a reminder. The waste can be presented at the dedicated collection centres or can be handed over to the distributor upon purchasing equivalent new equipment or without an obligation to purchase for equipment of dimensions less than 25 cm. For further information on the correct disposal of this equipment, you may contact the appointed public service.

Directive 2006/66/CE

- The crossed-out bin symbol on the batteries or on the product packaging indicates that at the end of their useful life they must not be disposed of as urban waste but must be treated separately from household waste and taken to a separate collection centre or returned to the retailer when purchasing equivalent new rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.

If present, the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, Pb placed under the crossed-out bin indicates the type of substance contained in the battery:

Hg = Mercury, Cd = Cadmium, Pb = Lead.

The user is responsible for taking the batteries to the appropriate collection facilities at the end of their life, in order to facilitate their treatment and recycling.

Appropriate separate collection for subsequent recycling, treatment and environment-friendly disposal of spent batteries helps avoiding possible negative effects on the environment and human health and promotes the recycling of the substances of which the batteries are composed.

Unauthorized disposal of the product by the user will result in damage to the environment and human health.

For more detailed information about the collection systems available, please contact your local waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

- Hereby Inglesina declares that Ally Pad is compliant with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 2014/53/EU.

A copy of the complete declaration of conformity can be found at the address: inglesina.com and is supplied with the device.

In accordance with European Commission Decision no. 2000/299/EC of 06/04/2000 the frequency band used by this product is harmonised in all EU countries, therefore this is a class 1 product.
