The Wet-Stop®2 device (Figure 1) is a behavioral modification system for the treatment of bedwetting in children. This device can be used in the detection of wetness resulting from urination. The device consists of an alarm unitattached to a sensor via a cable connection. The alarm unit is designed with a magnetic tether attachment system tobe worn with a pajama or shirt top. The sensor is designed with a quick-clip jaw, allowing convenient attachment toa child’s pajama bottoms or underpants.

How to Use Your Wet-Stop®2 Alarm

Pre-use Test: Pull out the tabs under battery lid to activate the device. Ensure the volume switch setting is setto the highest level. Next, depress the white sensor pushbutton (Figure 2). Insert a wet cloth fully inside thesensor grip. Make sure the metal probes inside the sensor (Figure 2) are in contact with the wet cloth(Figure 3). The alarm is working if it sounds.

Alarm Tone and Volume Selection: Next select the alarm tone by moving the tone selection switch todifferent positions and choosing your desired tone while continuing to grip the wet cloth with the sensor.After the tone selection step is complete, move the volume switch to the off position to stop the alarm. Youcan then set the volume switch to the desired level before attaching the Wet-Stop2 to the child’s clothing asdescribed in the section below (Wet-Stop2 Use). Note: Parent should set the volume when listening to thedevice at an equivalent distance to the ear as the child will experience.

Warning: Do not hold an alarming device within 3 inches of the ear.

Wet-Stop®2 Use: Attach the alarm unit to the pajama top using the magnetic tether strap (Figure 4). An optional attachment method is to attach the alarm unit to pajama top using a safety pin through the hole on the top of the tether strap. Next, put the cord under the pajama or nightshirt, going in at the collar and out at the nightshirt hem (Figure 4). Attach the sensor to the child’s underwear, stretching the underwear into the sensor opening as shown in (Figure 3). A small amount of moisture on the underwear material inside the sensor opening will cause the alarm to sound, so be sure your child does not wet on the underwear before going to bed. When urine sets off the alarm, turning the volume switch to the off position will stop the sound. If the alarm is left in the on position, it will keep sounding continuously for one minute, followed by another minuteof intermittent alarm sound, followed by blinking lights.

Battery Replacement and Disposal: Palco Labs has supplied an extra set of batteries for your convenience. To replace the old batteries, use a small flat head screwdriver. Remove battery cover on the back side of the alarm unit. Insert the screwdriver in the slot on the side of the battery housing (Figure 5) and gently push the old battery out. Do not try to pry the battery holder up when removing old batteries. Insert the new battery by pushing it into the battery housing (Figure 6). Make sure the replacement batteries are positioned in the device with positive poles facing up as shown in (Figure 6). Replace only with button type CR-1620. The batteries may be purchased at most stores where batteries are sold. Dispose of the batteries only in accordance with the
