Your Wi-Fi name and passwordThe Base joins 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
Optional: a smartwatchApple Watch with iPhone, or Wear OS with Android

Setup steps

  1. Pick its spot

    A shelf or dresser in the nursery, at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the crib, with the cord out of reach. It only needs to hear the room.

  2. Plug it in

    Connect the cable to the Base and to the included adapter, then plug the adapter into a wall outlet. There is no power button.

    Light alternates red and green: ready to connect

  3. Get the Dozzi app

    Use these links. Searching the store can turn up a different app with a similar name.

    Using a watch? Apple Watch: open the Watch app on your iPhone and install Dozzi. Wear OS: install Dozzi from Google Play on your watch.

  4. Create your account and connect the Base

    Stand near the Base while you do this.

    1. Tap Get Started, then Create Account. Sign in with Apple or with email.
    2. The About You screen is optional. Agree to the data consent to continue.
    3. On Set up your Dozzi Base, tap Connect your Dozzi Base and allow Bluetooth.
    4. Pick your home Wi-Fi, enter the password and tap Connect.
    5. Turn on Critical Alerts when asked, so alerts can reach you on silent.

    Only seeing a 5 GHz network? Many routers share one name for both bands and the Base will still join. If yours has a separate 2.4 GHz name, pick that one.

  5. Invite your partner

    • The app shows a 6-digit invite code. Tap Share invite to send it. Each code works once and expires after an hour.
    • Your partner installs Dozzi, creates their own account and chooses the invite code option instead of setting up a new Base. On iPhone it reads Join with an invite code.
    • Up to 4 caregivers can share one Base.
  6. Choose how you split the night

    • Alternating: cries take turns between you.
    • Schedule: one of you covers until a set time, then the other takes over.
    • All caregivers: every alert goes to everyone.
    • Smart: turns heart rate and movement from your Apple Watches into a wakeability score for each parent, then sends the cry to the one best placed to answer it. iPhone with Apple Watch only; not available on Android.

    Sensitivity lives in Settings. If it misses quiet cries, move it up a step. If it picks up household noise, move it down.

  7. Test it before bed

    Run Test My Alert Chain: clap or play a crying sound near the Base, then confirm with I felt it when your phone or watch buzzes. On iPhone it opens after setup and lives in Settings → Advanced.

Reset the Base (below), then set it up again in the app. Your partner will need a new invite code.

Alerts aren't coming through
  • Make sure notifications are on for Dozzi. On iPhone, turn on Critical Alerts too.
  • On Android, open the Ready for tonight checklist in the app and fix anything it lists.
  • Check that both the red and green lights on the Base are on, softly lit and steady.
  • Keep your phone, and your watch if you use one, charged and connected.

Important safety information

WARNING: STRANGULATION HAZARD. Children have STRANGLED in cords. Keep this cord out of any child's reach. The Dozzi Base is supplied with a USB power cord that presents a strangulation hazard to infants and young children. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

  • Keep the cord MORE THAN 3 FEET (0.9 m) from any crib, bassinet, playpen, or other place a child sleeps or plays.
  • Never place the Base in or attached to a crib, bassinet, playpen, or any sleep surface.
  • Never extend the cord with an extension cord or any other cable.
  • Inspect the cord regularly for damage, fraying, or wear. Stop using the product immediately if the cord is damaged.
  • Always use the Base with the power adapter and cord supplied by Dozzi Sleep Systems LLC.

General safety

  • For indoor use only. The Base is not waterproof. Do not submerge the Base, adapter, or cord in water.
  • The Base is not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition, and it does not monitor breathing, oxygen, or vital signs.
  • The Base is not a substitute for direct adult supervision of an infant or child. An alert means Dozzi heard crying. Silence does not mean your baby is safe; always check in person.
  • Alerts only reach you if your phone, or your watch if you use one, is charged, connected, and set up with notifications on.
  • Do not modify or attempt to repair the Base. Tampering may cause hazards and will void the warranty.
What's in the box
  • 1 Dozzi Base (model DZ-H1)
  • 1 USB power cable with permanent strangulation hazard warning label
  • 1 UL/cULus listed USB power adapter (5V DC, 2A)
  • 1 Quick-Start Insert with safety information

If anything is missing or damaged, contact support@dozzisleep.com before use.

Placement

Place the Base on a flat, stable surface at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from any crib, bassinet, playpen, co-sleeper, or other place a child sleeps or plays, with the cord out of reach at all times.

  • Good spots: a dresser, shelf, or bookcase in the nursery, 3 or more feet from the crib.
  • Never: inside or attached to a crib, bassinet, or playpen; on the rail or frame of a sleep surface; anywhere a child can reach; anywhere the cord could drape toward the crib.
  • Keep it away from heat sources, direct sunlight, and moisture.
Alerts, sensitivity and caregivers

Receiving alerts. The Base listens for crying and sends a silent alert to the on-duty caregiver's phone or paired watch (Apple Watch with iPhone, Wear OS with Android). Audio is processed on the Base and never leaves the room.

Sensitivity. In Settings, choose from Lowest to Highest. Higher catches quieter cries; lower ignores more household noise.

Caregivers. Up to 4 caregivers can share one Base. Each person uses their own Dozzi account and joins with a 6-digit invite code from the app. Codes work once and expire after an hour.

How alerts are split.

  • Alternating: alerts take turns between caregivers.
  • Schedule: one caregiver covers a set shift, then the next takes over.
  • All Caregivers: every alert goes to every caregiver who is monitoring. With two caregivers the app shows this as Both Parents.
  • Smart: turns heart rate and movement from each caregiver's Apple Watch into a wakeability score, then sends the alert to the one best placed to answer it. It needs iPhone with Apple Watch and is not available on Android.

Critical Alerts (iPhone). Turn these on so alerts can reach you when your phone is on silent or Focus.

Power, Wi-Fi and internet outages

Your Wi-Fi is the network your router creates inside your home. Your internet is the service your provider brings into the house. They can go out separately.

  • Power or router off: like most baby monitors, Dozzi needs power and Wi-Fi to work, so no alerts can reach you. The Base picks back up on its own once both are back.
  • Internet down, Wi-Fi on: the Base keeps listening and can still alert a phone on the same Wi-Fi while the Dozzi app is running. Alerts that travel over the internet pause until it returns, including alerts to a phone away from home and the Ring camera integration. Don't count on every alert during an internet outage.

When everything is back on, run Test My Alert Chain from the app.

Ring camera integration (optional)

The Dozzi Base has no camera. If you own a compatible Ring camera, you can link it to see live video and snapshots in the Dozzi app (and snapshots on Apple Watch).

  1. Make sure the camera works in the Ring app.
  2. In the Ring app, add Dozzi from the Ring App Store and choose your nursery camera.
  3. Sign in to your Dozzi account on the page Ring opens.
  4. In the Dozzi app, tap I've linked my Ring account in camera settings.

The integration costs $3.00 USD per month, billed through your Ring account (manage it under Ring My Apps). It needs an active internet connection. Ring video is handled under Ring's own terms and privacy policy. Disclosure: Dozzi Sleep Systems LLC has a commercial partnership with Ring and receives a share of the revenue from this integration. All crib-distance and cord rules apply to any camera in the nursery.

More troubleshooting

Apple Watch alerts not working: open the Dozzi app on your iPhone at least once since pairing the watch, check that Dozzi notifications are on for the watch, and keep the watch charged and in Bluetooth range of the phone.

Wear OS alerts not working: open Dozzi on the watch once and allow notifications, make sure your wake device in the phone app is set to your watch, and keep the watch charged, worn, and connected.

Ring video not loading: check the camera works in the Ring app and that you have internet. If Dozzi shows Reconnect needed, re-link Dozzi from the Ring app. Changing your Ring password may require this.

Base won't power on: check both ends of the cable and adapter, try another outlet, and inspect the cord. If it still won't start, contact support.

Care and storage
  • Unplug before cleaning. Wipe the Base, cord, and adapter with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. No liquids, sprays, abrasives, or solvents.
  • Inspect the cord regularly for cuts, fraying, exposed wires, cracks, loose connectors, or discoloration. If you find damage, stop using it and contact us for a replacement cord. Do not repair it yourself.
  • To turn the Base off, unplug the adapter. For long-term storage, keep it clean and dry, away from sunlight and extreme temperatures.
