What does the Day Clock do?
People living with memory problems can have trouble telling
whether it is day or night, or morning or afternoon, or simply
need reassurance about what day it is.
These instructions tell you about how to use your Day Clock
and how to look after it.
The Day Clock will… automatically show Morning,
Afternoon, Evening and Night for each day of the week, and will
display the right information as soon as you plug it in. It will need
adjusting in the Spring and Autumn when the clocks change.
The Day Clock will not… display the exact time, or the date.
The Day Clock has been carefully designed to help people
with memory problems to make decisions about how to plan
their day, so the different information is displayed as follows:
Morning: 7am to 12 noon
Afternoon: 12 noon to 5pm
Evening: 5pm to 10pm
Night: 10pm to 7am
Think about where to position the Day Clock –perhaps try
putting it in the living room, the kitchen or even the
bedroom. Some people might benefit from placing the Day
Clock next to a calendar or diary, to provide reassurance about
missing appointments or planning activities.

Getting started…
To wall mount: hang up the Day Clock using the
keyhole-shaped hole on the back
Or
To stand the Day Clock up, insert the clear plastic
stand into the star-shaped hole:
Plug the power cable into the DC 9V socket on the
side of the frame, and plug the cable into a mains
socket and switch it on at the socket.
Find the buttons on the top of the Day Clock, which are
labelled below for you (looking from the top with the screen
facing towards you):
Press the ON/OFF button to switch on
the Day Clock (if it is not already on), and
the screen will initially look like this
before automatically changing to the
correct display.
The Day Clock is now working and ready to use.

How can I switch on/off the blue lights
on the corners of the Day Clock?
The blue lights around the edges of the Day Clock will
automatically be on whenever the Day Clock is first switched
on at the mains, for example after being unplugged, or after
a power cut.
Press and hold the EXIT button (see Page 2) for two seconds
to switch the blue lights off.
Do the same again to switch the blue lights back on.
How does the Day Clock know what
time it is?
The Day Clock has an internal clock which runs on a small
back-up battery. This makes sure the Day Clock shows the
information for the right day and time. The back-up battery
ensures that the display is correct, even when it is unplugged
and plugged back in again, or after a power cut.
The Day Clock will also continue to work normally even when
the back-up battery eventually runs down, as long as the Day
Clock remains plugged in and switched on.
If the back-up battery runs out and the Day Clock is then
unplugged, you will still be able to reset the internal clock
using the instructions for “What to do when the clocks
change” and continue to use it.

What do I have to do when the clocks
change (in Spring and Autumn)?
Just like any other clock, in Spring you will need to move the
built-in timer forward one hour, and in Autumn you will need
to move it back one hour, so that the display stays correct.
Find the buttons on the top of the Day Clock, which are
labelled below for you:
If you press the wrong button at any time and are not sure
what to do, you can switch the Day Clock off and on again
without causing any problems –just press the ON/OFF
button and try the instructions again from here.
1. Press the
EXIT button

Setup menu.

Troubleshooting and getting help
Why is there no USB memory stick or SD Memory card
in the
box with my Day Clock?
The information displayed on the Day Clock is built into the
product, so it does not need memory card or USB stick.
The Day Clock has been unplugged, what should I do?
If the Day Clock becomes unplugged, it will automatically
display the correct information when it is plugged back in
unless the internal back-up battery eventually runs out.
The Day Clock is not showing the right information.
If the Day Clock is consistently wrong by one or two hours,
check that it has been adjusted correctly for the time of year
(e.g. to British Summer Time or Greenwich Mean Time).
Check this using the instructions for “What to do when the
clocks change”.
If the day is wrong, follow these same instructions to check
that the date on the iternal clock is correct.
What should I do when the clocks change at different
times
of year?
See the instructions on “What to do when the clocks
change”.

I’ve pressed the wrong button while setting up the Day
Clock –what should I do?
Press the ON/OFF switch and start again.
If the screen does not display anything.
Check that the power cable is plugged in at both ends and
switched on, and press the ON/OFF button on the top of the
frame (see page 2).
If you are using the Day Clock as a digital photo frame and
the screen is blank, check that your SD memory card or USB
stick contains images which are in JPEG format.
I have a problem with the Day Clock that I cannot solve.
