What does the Reminder Clock do?
The Reminder Clock provides helpful reminders to people living
with memory problems, and was designed with health
professionals.
Choose from four types of time display, to give reassurance
about time:
Choose from twenty built-in timed reminders using words
and pictures and a voice message, to help with everyday
tasks, such as remembering appointments, prompts to do
something, or keeping to a daily routine, including:
…or create your own personalised reminders.
CAUTION: When creating personalised reminders think about
what will work for the person. For some individuals reminders
may not work, or may involve some risk, e.g. a reminder to take
medicine.

Where should I put the Reminder Clock?
The Reminder Clock can be used wherever it is needed in the
home, for example: beside the bed, in the living room, in the
kitchen or beside a calendar.
You will need to put the Reminder Clock near a mains power
socket, where it can easily be seen.
You may choose to have more than one Reminder Clock
throughout the house.

Creating your own reminders
Personalised reminders must be created outside the Reminder
Clock and then saved to a USB memory stick which is inserted
into the side of the Reminder Clock. A small USB stick will be
less noticeable and less likely to be removed.
1. Create a reminder image
On a computer, create an image using a program of your
choice. The image should be 1024 pixels wide by 768 pixels
high. Save it as a jpeg file (ending in .jpg).
2. Create a new folder and save the reminder image
Create a new folder on your
memory stick and give it the
name of the reminder. Save your newly created reminder
image into this new folder.
3. Record and save an audio message
Create a sound file using a voice recording app on a
smartphone and email it to your computer, or use voice
recording software on your computer. Save the audio file into
the reminder folder you created in step 2. If you want a chime
to sound at the start of the reminder, include one in the audio
recording.
Your USB stick should now contain one or more reminder
folders, each one containing an image and an audio
message for a single reminder.
4. Insert your memory stick into the Reminder Clock
Insert the USB stick into the side of the Reminder Clock, and
leave it in place. Your personalised reminders will now appear
on the list of reminders when you set up the timings.

Can I set a reminder to happen several times a day?

a new reminder for each time. For example, set Reminder 01 to
be Feed the Cat and set it for 9am daily, then set Reminder 02

Record a video clip in landscape mode and save it into a new
reminder folder on the USB stick ensuring that there are no
other files in that folder (see the instructions on page 7). The
