HELPFUL HINTS
a) I understand normal conversational English, spoken clearly facing me and my ear (MICrophone) at arms length.
b) Ensure no background noise is present when setting Rosie (i.e. TV, people talking, fan, loud outside noise).
c) Wake me up (trigger) always before saying commands; say “Hello Reminder Rosie” or push down very firmly.
d) I cannot understand commands when I am talking. Wait about half a second after I stop talking before you do.
e) I will stop talking (sleep) by pushing me down firmly anytime, once or twice. (Note two buttons on the bottom).
f) I have a personality just like you & may take some practice to set reminders. Initially, you may need to repeat the time or date just as you would
meeting a person for the first time. I may understand better when you emphasize the first syllable or first word of a 2-3 word phrase, but always in a
smooth conversational voice.
g) I automatically play a ‘Get Started’ introduction when plugged in without battery back-up. You can place 3 AAA quality batteries after you plug me in.
Place me in an area that the user spends the most time.
h) The commands I understand are printed on my back. Place the tent card beside me for quick reference.
i) Ensure the user is shown how to turn off reminders; just say “Reminder off” during the 5-second silence between reminder playbacks or by pressing me
down very firmly. If the user misses a reminder(s) (not turned off within 30 minutes), the REMINDER light blinks. Just wake me up to hear the missed
reminder(s).
j) If I malfunction, do a reset: Unplug. Remove batteries. Plug in. Set time & date. Replace batteries. (Messages do not get erased.)
SET THE TIME & DATE
1. Plug Rosie into an AC outlet centrally located or where the end-user spends most of their time. The Trigger indicator light must be on. (bottom right of
her clock display, see #3 in diagram)
2. Say “Hello Reminder Rosie” to wake up Rosie, or push Rosie down firmly.
3. Say “Set time” and follow the prompt.
4. Say “Hello Reminder Rosie” to wake up Rosie again
5. Say “Set date” and follow the prompts. We suggest setting the date manually as this is a one-time only setting (with battery back-up), as Rosie
sometimes has difficulty hearing specific dates. Please see Set Date Manually section on panel # 3. Otherwise wake up Rosie and try again,
emphasising the first & last letter of the date or year, i.e. “FFifteeNN” or “two-thousand & FFourteeNN”
GETTING STARTED
Plug into an AC outlet and Rosie will begin a brief introduction (without battery back up).
PREPARING REMINDERS
We suggest you write them down. Ask the end-user (and their caregivers/providers) all their important reminders & tasks with their respective time/days/
dates to be announced. List all health & wellness related tasks, both re-active (meds, doctor appointments) and pro-active (exercise, post-op tasks, eat
healthy, etc.). Also list any Activity of Daily Living (ADL) reminders including personal, social, household, financial, leisure, pet, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
See an example reminder list below.
You can record a maximum of 25 reminders, up to 6 seconds long each. One reminder repeated every day at 10 AM i.e. “I love you mom. Its time to take red
and one white pill” is considered as one reminder. Reminder messages can be quite detailed; in 6 seconds you can record 15-20 words. It is not necessary to
record the full 6 seconds, nor to verbally say the reminder time as part of the reminder message unless you want the user to hear the time announced with
the reminder message.

increase the likelihood of accomplishing the task at hand.
