• The alarm will sound and/or vibrate to wake the child.
• Press any button to cancel the alarm.
• The alarm symbol will disappear and return to normal mode.
• After the alarm has sounded and/or vibrated and the child wakes up (they may need assistance): - Unclip the Urine Detection Sensor & Transmitter from the child's underwear/pyjamas. - The child should then go to the toilet and finish emptying their bladder.
• Immediately clean and dry the Urine Detection Sensor & Transmitter (to avoid corrosion) as per Cleaning instructions on page 13.
• Re-attach the Urine Detection Sensor & Transmitter using the Back Clip to the child's clean dry underwear or pyjamas.

Helpful Hints

• Remind the child each night that when the alarm triggers and their underwear is wet they need to stop 'weeing' and go to the toilet.
• Leave a night light on in case the child is frightened when the alarm goes off. This will also help them navigate safely to the toilet in the dark.
• Make sure you are close enough to the child's room to be able to hear the alarm and help them as needed.
• Keep a spare set of sheets, underwear and pyjamas close by.
• The program may be slow and frustrating, but always remember to offer encouragement and give praise when the child has a dry night. Do not scold the child if they wet the bed.
• Restricting intake of liquids before bedtime does not help treat bedwetting. It is important the child has enough to drink during the day.
• Drinks containing caffeine should be avoided.

Progress Chart

• A progress chart and stickers have been included to help keep track of the child's progress. Ask the child if they remember the alarm going off and what they did.
• You can also introduce a reward scheme for positive behaviour to encourage the child to want to succeed.

Completion of Training

• The child should continue to use the alarm until they have had 14 consecutive dry nights.
• It can take up to 12 weeks for a child to be fully dry at night without needing the bedwetting alarm. To reduce the chance of relapse, the process of “overlearning” can be implemented. Ask your healthcare professional if the child should trial this process before discontinuing the alarm. This process should not be used if the child is on Desmopressin medication.
• The child should have a large drink each night in the hour before bed and continue with alarm training, until a further 14 consecutive dry nights have been achieved.
• When the child has reached 14 dry nights in a row using the over-learning method, the alarm is no longer required, and the pre-bedtime drink can be stopped.
• A relapse is when the child wets the bed two or more nights consecutively. If relapse occurs, repeating alarm training will often produce a good response.
• If bedwetting persists after 3 to 6 months of alarm training, alternative treatment options should be considered.
