The DryBuddy1 has been designed to provide unmatched
convenience, ease-of-use and mobility to the user. It can
be used very conveniently at home, and also when the user
is travelling or in public places and requires privacy when
receiving the wetting alert. This is particularly valuable for
persons suering from incontinence, both inside and outside
the home.
The receiver is compact and easy to carry in a pocket in
the clothes worn by the user. Its rounded shape, with no
sharp edges or corners, allows it to be placed in a pocket
and appear to be any compact electronic device that
is often carried by users in their pockets. The complete
absence of wires and the freedom with which the sensor
can be attached to regular cotton briefs or the optional
DryBuddy wetness sensing briefs allow privacy to be readily
maintained.
The DryBuddy1 is intended to be a personal and mobile
alarm for the user. The wireless transmission range from
the Sensor to the Receiver is a maximum of 3 meters or 10
feet. This is the maximum free air range. The actual usable
distance will depend on many factors, including the materials
that the wireless transmission must pass through, and what
is around the transmitter (sensor) and receiver.
The DryBuddy1 is unique as it is not physically attached to
user’s clothes or body, as is necessary with all wired alarms.
It is also the only wireless alarm that can be carried by the
The DryBuddy1 system consists of:
• A Sensor/transmitter, 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.
• A Receiver, which receives the wireless signal and
alerts using sound, vibrations or a combination.
• A toolbox which contains two (2) AAA alkaline
batteries to be used in the Receiver, and a small
screw-driver which can be used to open and close the
Receiver box for replacing the batteries. This toolbox
is provided for the user’s convenience to carry spare
batteries and the means to replace them in the Receiver
when using the DryBuddy1 away from home.
PLEASE NOTE: The screw-driver should be handled with
care so that no damage or injury will occur due to its use or
misuse.
3. Replace the bottom cover and screw in the screw.
When replacing the bottom cover, please align it properly
by making sure that the screw hole is in line with the slot
as shown in the third diagram above. Make certain that
the entire cover is pressed in and at against the lip of the
Receiver, and the screw is attached rmly. Do not screw it
too tight as that may make it more dicult to unscrew when
replacing the batteries again.
The Sensor and Receiver have been synchronized before
being boxed. The DryBuddy1 is now ready to be used.
user and still provide active and prompt alerts. Where privacy
is desired, the Mode should be set to Low Vibration, and the
DryBuddy1 alarm box should be placed in a pocket of the
user’s clothing where the bottom surface is in contact with
the pocket’s cloth touching the user’s skin as is done with a
cell phone.
DryBuddy1 Use at Home
Home use is very convenient. If the user is moving around,
the DryBuddy1 Receiver can be conveniently placed in a
pocket of the clothes being worn by the user. Sound or
Sound+Strong Vibrations mode settings are appropriate
when privacy is not required.
When the user is in bed, the Receiver can be placed next
to the user’s pillow or on a bedside table. The loud sound
setting of the DryBuddy1 makes this the most convenient-
to-use alarm. All wired alarms are clumsy because of their
wires and their consequent attachment to the patient’s
clothing or body. The DryBuddy1 Receiver provides
maximum user convenience and comfort, as there is no
physical attachment to the user.
DryBuddy1 Use in Public places
The DryBuddy1 provides a unique level of privacy and
comfort when used in public places where privacy is
desired. It is typically carried in a pocket of the clothes
worn by the patient. If sound or a strong vibration would
attract the undesired attention of other people, the
DryBuddy1 Mode’s setting for low vibration makes the
Receiver vibrate like a mobile phone, which can be felt
by the user and not noticed by other persons. This allows
the DryBuddy1 to be used outside the home at work,
education, restaurants and other places where the user
wants to be alerted privately when an accident occurs.
Suggestions for Using the DryBuddy1
When using the DryBuddy1 magnetic sensor with standard
cotton briefs:
· Please attach the sensor where the urine is most likely
to wet the briefs.
· Some users may nd it more comfortable or convenient
to attach the magnetic sensor horizontally rather than
vertically at the point of urination. That is O.K.
· For use in public places or for active users, wear a
second pair of rm-tting briefs over the attached sensor.
These outer briefs will help keep the sensor rm against
the body and make wearing it more comfortable.
If there is concern about wetting and the appearance of
wetting in public places or at home, use any diaper-like or
moisture absorbing briefs/panties over the briefs with the
attached sensor. This will absorb excess uid and allow the
user to go and change the wet briefs without any public
display of wetting.
