Key–lock feature

The Gro–clock has a key–lock feature, similar to mobile phones. The key–lock is best used once the sleep modes have been activated. To switch on the key–lock just press the button and HOLD for 3 seconds until you see a cross in the big star's cheek. This means the key–lock is now on. To check it's working press or and a cross will appear on the screen. To unlock the feature, just press and hold the button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep.

Top tip: practice this so that the child does not see you pressing and holding the keys!

The stars...

At the start there are 12 stars around Mr Star. In order to show your children the passing of time these stars will go out evenly over the sleep or nap time. For example, if you set the Gro–clock for 12 hours, one star will go out every hour, or if you set for 1 hour nap one star will go out every 5 minutes. When the clock reaches the getting–up time that you set, the star disappears into a sun–rise and the sun appears.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the night–time and day–time nap mode?

In a way they are very similar because the clock works in exactly the same way in both modes. Once activated, the clock will count down and the star will change into the sun at the time set in each mode. The reason there are two modes is so that parents who are putting their children to sleep during the day and at night can have the two different times stored, which saves them from having to re–set the wake up times every session.

My screen has frozen and is not responding to the controls.

Unplug the lead to the clock and leave for 3 minutes. Plug the lead back in and the problem should be resolved.
