User's Manual

The DryBuddyFLEX 3 system consists of:
• A Sensor, which consists of a magnetic sensor with
a built-in wireless transmitter, and its magnetic “cap.”
When used with standard cotton briefs, the material of
the briefs is clamped between the magnets of the sensor
and the cap. (See Fig. 1)
• A Transceiver, which receives the wireless signals from
the Sensor and Remote and alerts. It also re-transmits
to other transceivers (if used) so that all transceivers
behave alike. A power supply is included. (See Fig. 4A
and 4B)
• A Remote, which wirelessly sends signals to the
Transceiver to control its behavior. (See Fig. 5)
The DryBuddyFLEX 3 Briefs system consists of the
DryBuddyFLEX 3 system described above plus two (2)
DryBuddy wetness sensing briefs of the ordered size.
All DryBuddyFLEX 3 parts and wetness sensing briefs can
be obtained from DryBuddy.

The DryBuddyFLEX 3 is the third generation of the
DryBuddyFLEX bedwetting, enuresis and incontinence
detection and alarm system, and provides improvements
and enhancements over previous versions. It is a very
feature-rich true wireless system, where no wires of any kind
are attached to or worn by the user. It has been designed to
provide unmatched convenience, ease-of-use and exibility
to the user and caregiver, and oers many useful features
and options to allow it to be customized for the user.
Where can the DryBuddyFLEX 3 be used?
The DryBuddyFLEX 3 can be used at home or any place
where there is an AC (alternating current) electric power
supply and receptacle. It comes with a special power
adaptor that allows ready use with standard electric plug
sockets in the U.S. (North America), U.K. (United Kingdom)
and EU (European Union). A 110 – 240 V AC 50/60 Hz
electric power source must be used. For nations with a
dierent plug design, a plug adaptor may be needed.
The DryBuddyFLEX 3 oers one-button user simplicity. It
also allows customization of its many features so that it best
matches the needs of the user and the caregiver. After the
DryBuddyFLEX system has been set as required, the user only
needs to use the Power button on the Transceiver to operate
the system in its Manual Power (MP) mode. The Remote oers
further convenience for the user and the caregiver.
The DryBuddyFLEX 3 or DryBuddyFLEX 3 Briefs system
comes ready-to-use. The included Sensor, Remote and
Transceiver have been synchronized with one-another
at the factory. The feature-rich DryBuddyFLEX 3 can be
used simply by following the following instructions. To use
additional features please refer to the additional instructions

Setting up the DryBuddyFLEX 3
Place the Transceiver on a bed-side table or other
convenient location.
Attach the plug at the end of the power cord from the
power supply to the socket at the end of the short
cord of the Transceiver. (See Fig. 6A – 6D)
Plug the Power Supply into a live electric wall socket.
Press the Power button on the top of the Transceiver.
The Power button will show a Yellow light. The
system is now in its SLEEP state.
Press the Power button on the Transceiver once. A
Green light will show under the button. The system is
now in its READY state, ready to receive a signal from
the Sensor.
Attach the Sensor to the patient’s briefs or special
wetness sensing briefs. The wetness sensing briefs
should have been gently washed and dried before
use. (See Fig. 2A and 2B, or Fig 3A and 3B)
The alarm has been pre-set to Audio (Trumpet
Fanfare) at maximum volume.
When the alarm sounds, it can be switched OFF
manually by pressing the Power button on the
Transceiver, or remotely by pressing the OFF button
on the Remote. A Yellow light will show under the
Power switch. Make certain that the child or patient
is awake and gets out of bed before turning the alarm
OFF.
Remove the sensor and other items that may be
soiled, wash and dry them, and re-attach them to the
patient.
To reset the system so that it will be triggered by
wetness, press the Power button manually or press
the ON button on the Remote. The Power switch
will show a Green light indicating that the system is
in its READY state. The system is again ready to be
triggered by the Sensor when it detects wetness.
If the DryBuddyFLEX system is not being used, you
can turn the system completely OFF by disconnecting
the power supply cable from the Transceiver.
Note: The DryBuddyFLEX 3 is designed to be perspiration
resistant. It requires a rapid increase in urine at the sensor
(coming in a “rush”). Position the Sensor on the briefs so that
urine is likely to fall directly on the Sensor. The Sensor may
not respond adequately to plain water or a creep in wetness
soaking through the briefs. Salt water should be used for any
testing.
Note: The feature-rich DryBuddyFLEX 2 is the most
sophisticated bedwetting alarm available today. Please
contact DryBuddy with any questions, comments or issues at:
Tel: [phone] or email: [e-mail]
To set the Transceiver’s sound and volume, use a
straightened metal paper clip, toothpick or similar narrow
and blunt device to push the buttons on the side of the
Transceiver. (See Fig. 4B) The Transceiver must be in its
SLEEP state (Yellow light) to activate these buttons.
Sound: Each time the Sound switch is pressed, it is
switched to the next sound in the order:
Trumpet fanfare → Berlin police siren → Silence (no sound)
The Silence setting can be used if the audio alarm is to be silent.
Volume: There are ve (5) volume levels. Each time the + or
– button is pressed, the volume will increase or decrease by
one level. This new level will be heard if the sound is set to
an audio setting.

Attaching the wireless Magnetic Sensor to standard cotton
briefs:
1. The Sensor is attached on the outside of the briefs
at the point of urination. Position the Sensor carefully on
the briefs. The alarm will only alert when the material of the
briefs between the two magnets is wet.
2. The stainless steel magnets point towards the body.
3. The magnetic Cap is placed on the inside of the
briefs and directly opposite the magnets so that the
briefs are clamped between the Sensor and the Cap.
4. With male briefs having a pouch, the Sensor should
be placed inside the pouch with the magnets pointing
towards the body.
