What does the Care Clock do?
People living with memory problems can have trouble telling whether its day or night,
morning or afternoon or may simply need reassurance about what day and time it is.
These instructions will tell you about how to use your Care Clock as well as how to
look after it.
The Care Clock will show Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night for each day of the
week as well as the time.
It will also, with the use of an SD Card or Memory Stick display up to five images that
are saved in a jpeg format.
Once the Care Clock has been set up you will need to think about where to position it.
The Care Clock has been specifically designed with Care Homes, Hospital Wards and
communal areas in mind as well as those who are visually impaired.
We have found customer have benefited from having the Care Clock next to a
calendar or diary to help with keeping appointments and planning activities.

Troubleshooting
Why is there no USB memory stick or SD in the box with my Care clock?
The Care Clock does not require either as all information is built into the product.
However you can use your own SD Card and USB Memory Stick to display up to five
images (UI-3) after the time (UI-1) and time of day (UI-2).
The Care Clock has been unplugged, what should I do?
If your Care Clock becomes unplugged, it will automatically display the correct
information when it is plugged back in, that is unless the internal back-up battery has
run out.
The Care Clock is not showing the correct information, what has happened?
If the Care Clock is wrong by one or two hours, check that it has been adjusted
correctly for the time of year e.g. British Summer Time or Greenwich Mean Time.
Follow the set time instructions. If the day is wrong also follow set date instructions.
Should you find the language is set incorrectly please follow the language instructions.
What should I do when the clocks change at different times of year?
See the set time instructions and change according to time of year.
Can the Care Clock display images?
Yes, it can display up to 5 images (UI-3) which will appear after screen UI-2. The care
clock will cycle through 5 images before display UI-1 & UI-2 and repeat continually
I've pressed the wrong button while setting the Care Clock –What should I do?
Press the Exit button to exit and once again to start over.
If the screen does not display anything.
Check that the power cable is plugged in both ends and switched on. If you have
inserted a USB Memory Stick or SD Card please remove it.
