DryBuddy1 Instructions & Details

The DryBuddy1 offers convenience, privacy and reliability

to patients (or children) who need to be alerted when

enuresis, bed-wetting or unintentional urination occurs.

It is truly wireless, and can be used when the DryBuddy1

Receiver is being carried by the patient or is within

proximity (up to 3 meters or 10 feet) of the wireless Sensor

being used by the patient.

DryBuddy1 Controls

All controls of the DryBuddy1 are on the circular side of the

DryBuddy1 Receiver. Except for the On/Off switches, these

switches are below the surface and can be reached and

pressed by using a dull pointed instrument such as a small

screw driver or straightened metal paper clip. This prevents

any accidental or unintentional switching of the DryBuddy1.

DryBuddy1 Instructions & Details

Mode

The Mode switch allows the user to change the mode or

type of alert.

When the power is ON: Pressing the Mode button plays the

current settings for the Receiver.

When the power is OFF: Each "press" of the switch will

result in the alert changing in the following order:

1. Sound only

2. Sound + Strong Vibration

3. Strong Vibration only

4. Low Vibration only

Each time that the Mode switch is pressed, the alert only

changes in the direction

1. → 2. → 3. → 4. → 1.

The Vol + and - buttons increase or decrease the volume level

of the sound. The DryBuddy1 has five (5) volume levels. The

mode must be set to Music so that the sound can be heard.

When the power is OFF: Pressing the + or - button changes

the sound setting to the higher or lower volume setting and

this new volume is heard briefly. If the sound volume is to be

increased or decreased further, press the + or – buttons again.

Switching the DryBuddy1 ON and OFF

When the two Power ON/OFF buttons are pressed together

for two (2) seconds, the power will be turned ON or OFF.

When the power is turned ON, a Green light will flash twice.

When the Receiver power is OFF, pressing the small control

buttons (switches) on the side turns the Receiver on briefly

so that the buttons can function and the Receiver is set to

the next new setting for the button being pressed.

When the Receiver power is ON, pressing the small Mode

button activates the Receiver and indicates the current

setting of the Receiver. (Mode, Sound and Volume). The Vol.

and Sound buttons will not function when the Power is ON.

Synch

The DryBuddy1 Sensor and Receiver must be synchronized

so that they work with the same code. A new DryBuddy1

system has been synchronized at the factory. To re-

synchronize, first make certain that the Power is OFF. Then:

1. Press the Sync button in the side. A Blue light will flash,

and the Receiver is placed in synchronization mode for

fifteen (15) seconds.

2. While the Blue light is flashing, short the two magnets on

Note: The volume buttons set the sound volume to what

will be heard if the DryBuddy1 is set to the Sound or

Sound+Vibration modes.

Note: The Volume buttons will not function when the power

is ON.

Sound

The DryBuddy1 offers two audible alarms – a Trumpet

Fanfare and a Berlin Police Siren. The sound can be

changed by pressing the Sound button. The mode must be

set to Music so that the sound can be heard.

When the power is OFF: Pressing the Sound button

changes the sound to the next sound - either the Trumpet

Fanfare or the Berlin Police Siren.

Note: The Sound button will not function when the power

is ON.

Length of Alert

If the alarm's alert is not turned OFF manually, the alarm can

continue for a Short Alert time or a Long Alert time.

With a Short Alert, the alert will stop after about 2 minutes, and

the Receiver will be switched OFF. This is the default (factory)

setting for the DryBuddy1.

the sensor by placing a clean metal conductor (such as a

key, screwdriver or knife) across the two magnets and

making good electrical contact. This activates the sensor.

The steady Green is followed by blinking Green every 5

seconds. Ten (10) seconds after the Synch is set, the

Receiver will switch itself OFF.

Notes: If the new synchronization is not completed within 15

seconds, the Blue light will stop and the Receiver will revert

to its synchronization before the new synchronization was

attempted, and switch itself OFF. Once the Sensor has been

activated it cannot be activated again for two (2) minutes.

Do not synchronize the DryBuddy1 while the Receiver is

indicating a low battery (Yellow blinking light). Insert fresh

batteries and synchronize. The Sync button will not function

when the power is ON.

You must re-synchronize the Sensor and Receiver if either

the Sensor or the Receiver are changed or synchronization is

lost for any reason.

Using the DryBuddy1

With a Long Alert, the alert will keep repeating its alert cycle

till the Receiver is manually switched OFF or the batteries are

drained.

To set the length of the alert, first press the Synch button.

While the Blue sync light is flashing for 15 seconds:

1. For a Short Alert, press the Vol. – button. A yellow light

will flash once.

2. For a Long Alert, press the Vol. + button. A yellow light

will flash twice.

The Receiver automatically turns itself OFF after the Yellow

light flashes. The Receiver must now be switched ON again in

order to continue using the DryBuddy1.

When to Sychronize

Every DryBuddy1 Sensor has its own unique code transmitted

to the Receiver. This allows many DryBuddy1 systems to be in

close proximity without interfering with one another. If the Sensor

is changed or synchronization lost for any reason, the Sensor and

Receiver must be synchronized again.

Do not synchronize the DryBuddy1 while the Receiver is

indicating a low battery (Yellow blinking light). Insert fresh

batteries and synchronize.
