Solutions to problems:
Problem : When demonstrating the equipment the alarm fails to sound
Solution : - The alarm may not be connected to the sensor properly. Check that the “telephone”
jack is pushed into the socket.
-
The wet patch may not be large enough. It must connect the two claws to complete
the circuit.
-
The batteries maybe flat. Usually the alarm buzzer sounds faint and the light flickers
if this is the case. Replace the battery, ensuring the correct polarity.
-
Make sure:

The ejector ribbon lint has not slipped between batteries.

The battery contacts are clean and free from deposits.

The batteries are not loose and make good contact.
-
With the batteries out, check that the switch inside is put in the position required.
-
Ensure the alarm has not been flooded.
Problem : The alarm buzzes intermittently
Solution : - The sensor is faulty.
-
Loose or flat batteries.
-
Damaged wire.
Problem : The child wets but the alarm does not go off
Solution : Test the equipment using the salt solution or tap water.
If the alarm fails to sound do the following:
-
The batteries maybe flat. Usually the alarm buzzer sounds faint and the light
flickers if this is the case, replace the batteries.
-
Otherwise, contact the clinic ASAP.
If the alarm sounds, consider the following solutions:
-
If the child is not wetting very much the pants might not wet the Easy-Clip
sensor. Try placing the clip nearer where the urine is produced.
-
The child may have wriggled and disconnected the sensor. Check for the location
of the wet spot and the sensor. You may have to experiment with a few
positions. Double underpants or a pyjama bottom keeps the sensor better in
place. Sometimes the child disconnects the sensor in their sleep.
Problem : The alarm goes off but the child has not wet the bed.
Solution : - The false alarm maybe due to excessive perspiration or too thin under pants.
Lighter bed-covering and night cloths might help. If the child’s excessive
perspiration is due to high temperature through illness disconnect the alarm till the
child is well.
-
Another common cause is residual urine or fluffs on the sensor or pants. Clean and
dry it well.
Problem : The alarm does not waken the child
Solution : - This sometimes happens in the first couple of days. It is essential that you wake the
child and get them to switch off the alarm. Eventually the child will “tune in” and
wake to the alarm herself.
-
Place the alarm unit close to the chest or ears whilst gently wakening the child is a
good idea.
-
Ensure that they do the 3T’s and the Magic Three and is motivated to become dry.
-
Another suggestion is for the parent to sleep in the room for the first week or two,
to be able to waken the child quickly, e.g. with a wet cloth.
Problem : The child hears the alarm, leans over, turns it off and goes back to sleep
Solution : - Once again this is a job for the parent. You must make sure that the child gets out
of the bed and goes to the toilet. Having the alarm in the breast pocket might make
it a bit more difficult to turn it off without getting up. The child has to get out of the
bed and then turn the alarm off, to become dry.
