  • Page 3: Before You Start

    1. BEFORE YOU START The Alarm has been designed to wake the child when they wet. As the use of the Astric Dry-Bed continues the child becomes trained to wake when the bladder is full. This training creates the connection between the brain and the bladder that exists in those that do not suffer from bedwetting.

    Simply plugging in the Detector Pad to the Alarm Unit makes the system ready for use. Familiarise yourself with the settings on the Dry-Bed. There are 3 volume settings that can be chosen using the volume slider button. We recommend choosing the loudest setting.
