Assembled in China.©2017 by Enuresis Solutions, LLC• The DryBuddy alarm is intended for use as a bed-wetting and enuresis alarm by children of age ve and older, or as recommended by a medical authority. It can be used by older patients as a urine sensor and wetness alarm and as an incontinence alarm.• The DryBuddy system is a medical device and should be treated as such. Do not use roughly or damage.• Do not use as a potty training aid for babies, toddlers and young children. • Make certain that no parts of the DryBuddy or sensor are put in the mouth for any reason as this could cause choking or other harm.• Observe all sanitary precautions to keep the sensor clean and the alarm parts clean and dry. • Do not use the sensor for more than one user without thorough cleaning.• Do not strike the magnetic sensor or cap on hard surfaces or make them hot as this can reduce magnetism.• The DryBuddy system is designed to sense urine or salty water. It is less eective in sensing plain water.Caution when Using the DryBuddy1 SystemImportant Safety Instructions for TransceiverRead these instructions carefully.

The DryBuddyFLEX 3 system consists of:• A Sensor, which consists of a magnetic sensor with a built-in wireless transmitter, and its magnetic “cap.” When used with standard cotton briefs, the material of the briefs is clamped between the magnets of the sensor and the cap. (See Fig. 1)• A Transceiver, which receives the wireless signals from the Sensor and Remote and alerts. It also re-transmits to other transceivers (if used) so that all transceivers behave alike. A power supply is included. (See Fig. 4A and 4B)• A Remote, which wirelessly sends signals to the Transceiver to control its behavior. (See Fig. 5)The DryBuddyFLEX 3 Briefs system consists of the DryBuddyFLEX 3 system described above plus two (2) DryBuddy wetness sensing briefs of the ordered size.All DryBuddyFLEX 3 parts and wetness sensing briefs can be obtained from DryBuddy. DryBuddyFLEX 3 Quick-Use Instructions A3A1 A2The DryBuddyFLEX 3 is the third generation of the DryBuddyFLEX bedwetting, enuresis and incontinence detection and alarm system, and provides improvements and enhancements over previous versions. It is a very feature-rich true wireless system, where no wires of any kind are attached to or worn by the user. It has been designed to provide unmatched convenience, ease-of-use and exibility to the user and caregiver, and oers many useful features and options to allow it to be customized for the user.Where can the DryBuddyFLEX 3 be used?The DryBuddyFLEX 3 can be used at home or any place where there is an AC (alternating current) electric power supply and receptacle. It comes with a special power adaptor that allows ready use with standard electric plug sockets in the U.S. (North America), U.K. (United Kingdom) and EU (European Union). A 110 – 240 V AC 50/60 Hz electric power source must be used. For nations with a dierent plug design, a plug adaptor may be needed.The DryBuddyFLEX 3 oers one-button user simplicity. It also allows customization of its many features so that it best matches the needs of the user and the caregiver. After the DryBuddyFLEX system has been set as required, the user only needs to use the Power button on the Transceiver to operate the system in its Manual Power (MP) mode. The Remote oers further convenience for the user and the caregiver.The DryBuddyFLEX 3 or DryBuddyFLEX 3 Briefs system comes ready-to-use. The included Sensor, Remote and Transceiver have been synchronized with one-another at the factory. The feature-rich DryBuddyFLEX 3 can be used simply by following the following instructions. To use additional features please refer to the additional instructions at www.DryBuddy.com:www.DryBuddy.com → Our Products → DryBuddyFLEX → DryBuddyFLEX 3 InstructionsSetting up the DryBuddyFLEX 3Place the Transceiver on a bed-side table or other convenient location.Attach the plug at the end of the power cord from the power supply to the socket at the end of the short cord of the Transceiver. (See Fig. 6A – 6D)Plug the Power Supply into a live electric wall socket.Press the Power button on the top of the Transceiver. The Power button will show a Yellow light. The system is now in its SLEEP state.Press the Power button on the Transceiver once. A Green light will show under the button. The system is now in its READY state, ready to receive a signal from the Sensor.Attach the Sensor to the patient’s briefs or special wetness sensing briefs. The wetness sensing briefs should have been gently washed and dried before use. (See Fig. 2A and 2B, or Fig 3A and 3B)The alarm has been pre-set to Audio (Trumpet Fanfare) at maximum volume.When the alarm sounds, it can be switched OFF manually by pressing the Power button on the Transceiver, or remotely by pressing the OFF button on the Remote. A Yellow light will show under the Power switch. Make certain that the child or patient is awake and gets out of bed before turning the alarm OFF.Remove the sensor and other items that may be soiled, wash and dry them, and re-attach them to the patient.To reset the system so that it will be triggered by wetness, press the Power button manually or press the ON button on the Remote. The Power switch will show a Green light indicating that the system is in its READY state. The system is again ready to be triggered by the Sensor when it detects wetness.If the DryBuddyFLEX system is not being used, you can turn the system completely OFF by disconnecting the power supply cable from the Transceiver.Note: The DryBuddyFLEX 3 is designed to be perspiration resistant. It requires a rapid increase in urine at the sensor (coming in a “rush”). Position the Sensor on the briefs so that urine is likely to fall directly on the Sensor. The Sensor may not respond adequately to plain water or a creep in wetness soaking through the briefs. Salt water should be used for any testing. Note: The feature-rich DryBuddyFLEX 2 is the most sophisticated bedwetting alarm available today. Please contact DryBuddy with any questions, comments or issues at: Tel: 912-352-8854 or email: Service@DryBuddy.comTo set the Transceiver’s sound and volume, use a straightened metal paper clip, toothpick or similar narrow and blunt device to push the buttons on the side of the Transceiver. (See Fig. 4B) The Transceiver must be in its SLEEP state (Yellow light) to activate these buttons. Sound: Each time the Sound switch is pressed, it is switched to the next sound in the order:Trumpet fanfare → Berlin police siren → Silence (no sound)The Silence setting can be used if the audio alarm is to be silent.Volume: There are ve (5) volume levels. Each time the + or – button is pressed, the volume will increase or decrease by one level. This new level will be heard if the sound is set to an audio setting.Attaching the Wireless Magnetic Sensor1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.DryBuddyFLEX 3 IntroductionDryBuddyFLEX 3 System ContentsDryBuddyFLEX 3 Quick-Use Instructions (Con’t)Attaching the wireless Magnetic Sensor to standard cotton briefs:1.

A DryBuddyFLEX 3 system must be synchronized. A new system, consisting of a Sensor, Transceiver and Remote packed in a box, comes with the three devises synchronized at the factory and can be used without further synchronizing. Synchronizing is required whenever• A NEW Transceiver, Sensor or Remote is to be used, or • Synchronization has been lost for any reason.Note: A new DryBuddyFLEX 3 system, consisting of a boxed Sensor, Transceiver and Remote, has been synchronized at the factory and is ready to use.To synchronize:Attach the Transceiver to its power supply, and conrm that the Transceiver is in its SLEEP state (Yellow light).Press the Synch button on the side of the Transceiver. The light under the Power button on the Transceiver will become ashing BLUE. While the light is BLUE (one minute), the Sensor and Remote must be synchronized.Trigger the Sensor. This can be done by dipping both sensor magnets in a cup of salt water, or by pressing a clean and non-oily key or knife against both magnets. A beep will be heard.Press the OFF button on the Remote. Two beeps will be heard and the ashing BLUE light will turn GREEN.The system is now synchronized.If the DryBuddyFLEX is perceived to not work or has stopped working, please synchronize it rst as it may have lost its synchronization. Without synchronizing, the DryBuddyFLEX 3 system will not work.The DryBuddyFLEX 3 has many useful features which can be individually set and controlled by the user.
