The mother tag has the capability of handling multiple births (twin, triplets etc.) and can be bonded with up to eight infant tags. 1. When the mother and the baby/babies are ready, take one mother tag and as many infant tags as are required. 2. Hold the mother tag with the button facing upwards. Make sure you have the infant tags readily available. 4. When 5 seconds have expired, the tag will beep and the LED will change from flashing green to solid red. You now have 5 seconds to release the button. 3. Press the button on the mother tag and hold it pressed down for 5 seconds. A beeping sound will indicate when five seconds have passed. 5. When the button is released the tag will beep and the LED will change from solid red to solidgreen. You now have 5 seconds to press and hold the button again.

If more than one infant tag is to be bonded with the same mother tag, make sure that the mother tag button is kept pressed down. Do not release the button between infant tags*. Point the mother tag to the next infant tag to be bonded. 10. When all tags are successfully bonded with the mother tag, let go of the button on the mother tag. 11. Attach the infant tag to the baby and give the mother tag to the mother**. *Note: If the button is released by mistake before all tags are bonded, the process has to be started over from the beginning and all tags need to be re-bonded. During the bonding process of multiple infant tags, keep them about three feet from each other. **Note: The bonding can be done either before or after attaching the tag to the infant, depending on preference and hospital policies. The infant tag(s) will remain bonded with the mother tag until the next bonding process, which will clear the mother tag memory and enter new tag(s). 7. Without letting go of the button, place the infant tag so that it is within 12 inches of the mother tag. The mother tag will now bond with the infant tag. 6. Press and hold the button again. The tag will beep and the LED will change to flashing orange. The tag is now in bonding mode.
