LONG DESCRIPTION
Reminder Rosie is a voice activated reminder device that allows you or a caregiver to easily record reminders for important events or tasks. Remind yourself, your elderly parent, or as a caregiver for your client, to take specific medicines as directed and on time, doctor's appointments and any important to-do's or events. Reminder Rosie is particularly helpful for the elderly or visually impaired with chronic diseases such Alzheimer's, Dementia or Parkinson's who require to manage complicated medication regimens.
The simplicity to the end-user is the devices major and obvious advantage. Once reminders are recorded, the user only needs to remember to say one phrase - “Reminder Off” - after the spoken reminder is heard and the task has been completed. And if the user prefers, or cannot recall this simple phrase, the user has the option to simply pushes Rosie down to silence her.
Recording reminders is also quite easy, as Reminder Rosie voice prompts you along. Plug the device into an outlet right out of the box, wake up your assistant by saying “Reminder Assistant” in your normal conversational voice and Rosie will say “How can I help you?”. Request her to “Set the time”, “Record reminders” and just continue to follow her prompts. The user can even ask Rosie for “Todays reminders” or “What day is it” and other simple questions. You can even ask for “help” and Rosie will tell you all the simple and obvious two and three word commands and questions she understands.
Record up to 10 reminders, each 6 seconds long, for today only, every day or any day of the week. Once you record these reminders, they do not have to be recorded again. Record any message you like, for example: “Mom, take your 2 blue pills after breakfast “….8:30 AM everyday, or “Dad, don’t forget your doctor appointment today”……Tuesday 11AM. Rosie's loud reminder alarm playback can be heard 100 feet away, until the user tells her "Reminder Off". Recording and erasing new reminders is easily accomplished by simply asking her to “play reminders” .
Reminder Rosie doubles as a voice activated bedside alarm clock. Verbally choose from 3 alarm sounds or she will wake you up in her voice. Or, record your own personal wake-up alarm. You can just say "snooze" and Rosie will wake you up again in a few minutes.
Reminder Rosie is your own personal assistant- without the high cost!

Part. 2- Buttons on the backside of Rosie
Part. 3- Setting Rosie
Part. 4- Operating Rosie
Part. 5- The importance of the batteries
Part. 6- Manually setting the date
At the end of this quick-start is our contact information if you require further assistance.
Part. 1- Opening the package
Plug Reminder Rosie into an AC outlet. You should find the clock status as the following
a. The default time will be set at 12:00AM.
b. Alarm and Trigger indicator should be set in the on position.
c. Rosie includes three AAA sized batteries already installed through the bottom of
the clock.
d. The date may be preset for your convenience.
e. Rosie’s microphone is positioned centered in the front bottom of the clock. Nothing
should be a direct obstruction that can muffle the microphone and prevent the clock
from hearing your spoken words.
f. So long as the batteries have a charge, the information in the clock will be stored.
Part. 2- Buttons on the backside of Rosie
Hold Rosie with the front side facing you. The AC wire will be on the backside of the clock. Towards the top on the backside you will feel 7 buttons. With the clock facing forward to you, starting from the far left side, the seven buttons are as follows:
Button 1- Volume button that slides left or right. In the slide left position it is low
volume, and positioned to the right is high volume.
Button 2- Dimmer Button that slides left or right. This button is for use for people
with partial or full sight. The bright 2 inch high LED lighted numbers can be set on low
with this button positioned to the left, or high with the button positioned to the right.
Button 3- Is a manual operational button that pushes in (as oppose to sliding left and
right). This button can be used to manually set the clock. Button 3 changes the
numbers down. Button 3 is most important for you if you need to reset the date.
Button 4- This is the center button- Like button 3, it is used for manual settings and
this button changes numbers up.
Button 5- Is the mode button. This is also used for manual settings for time and
date. You should avoid using this button and only rely on spoken words to operate
the clock. If the date needs to be reset, it is recommended that you have the
assistance of a person with vision.
Button 6- This is the second button from the right side. This is the trigger mode
button and pushes in as oppose to sliding from side to side. The trigger mode
should be ON when you remove the clock from the packaging. When you push the
trigger button the clock will announce if the trigger mode is set to ON or OFF. You
need the trigger mode ON to have the clock respond to your voice commands.
Button 7- This is the button to the far right side and slides left and right. This is the
Alarm button. To have the alarm set in the ON position the slide button should be
positioned to the right. To turn off the alarm you may position this slide button to
the left. The clock will announce if the alarm is ON or OFF when you switch this
button’s setting.
Part. 3- Setting Rosie
1. Speak facing Rosie from arms length, in normal conversational voice and without
background noises. Do not speak when Rosie is talking.
2. To set the time, alarm, or record a reminder, or any command or question, you need to
wake up Rosie (Trigger button must be set to ON). Waking Rosie can be done in two
ways: 1. Say "Reminder Assistant" or 2. Push down on Rosie. Rosie will then respond
"Can I help you". Now you have 3 seconds to say a command or question.
3. To start off, ask Rosie to tell you all commands and questions she understands.
Wake up Rosie by speaking the words “Reminder Assistant” or push down on Rosie.
Rosie will say “Can I help you?” and then say the word "help".
4. Now to set the time. As always wake up Rosie first, and then say "set time", and follow
Rosie's prompts. Rosie will repeat what you set as the time so if Rosie didn't hear the
time correctly, just repeat this step.
5. Now to set the alarm time. As always wake up Rosie first, and then say "set alarm", and
follow Rosie's prompts. Rosie will repeat what you set as the time so if Rosie didn't hear
the time correctly, just repeat this step.
6. Now to set the alarm sound. As always wake up Rosie first, and then say "alarm sound",
and follow Rosie's prompts. Rosie will confirm the alarm sound you requested.
7. Now set a reminder. Wake up Rosie & say "Record reminder" & follow the prompts.
o Maximum 6 second reminders can be set for everyday, any day of the week or today
only. Reminders need only be set once for everyday or any day of the week.
o Reminders alarms go off for 30 minutes, and can be heard 100 feet away (Hi Volume
setting). To turn the reminder off wait for the silence in between the recording and
simply say "Reminder off." Or to turn off the recording you can just push down on Rosie.
o To erase reminders say "Play Reminders" and follow prompts. Rosie will announce all
the reminders set on the clock, and once it is played back there is a moment of silence
where Rosie is listening for you to say the word “erase” if you want to remove that
particular reminder that just played.
8. You can always push Rosie down to stop her from speaking to cancel out of a command.
9. To re-set the date, please request assistance from a person with sight and refer to the
printed instructions included with the original packaging. Or if you prefer to try to do this
on your own please refer towards the end of this Quick Start guide for directions.
Part. 4- Operating Rosie
1. You can speak to Rosie from distances of across a large room. Do not speak when Rosie
is talking. If there are background noises like a television, this can affect Rosie’s ability to
understand you clearly. Occasionally from time to time Rosie can also wake up when
something is said on a television or radio that Rosie mistakenly thinks you are saying
“Reminder Assistant.” Don’t worry, if Rosie wakes up unintentionally, she will shut off
automatically after a few seconds if nothing else is said. Or you can always say the word
“cancel” to turn Rosie back to sleep mode. Rosie will say “goodbye” once she hears your
command to cancel.
2. You can ask Rosie questions like-
a. What time is it?
b. What time is the alarm set for? Side note here- Rosie will tell you the time the alarm
is set for and whether the alarm is set as On or off.
c. What day is it? -- Side note here- Do not ask “What is today’s date?” Stick to the
question “What day is it?” or an even shorter command of “What Day?” and Rosie will
properly respond.
d. Play Reminders. Side note here- It is during the play reminder mode that you can
erase reminders. There is no original command of “Erase Reminders.” Again, to
erase a reminder it is done through the “Play Reminders” command.
3. Rosie likes a conversational tone in your voice- It is suggested not to try too hard to
pronunciate each word. Just speak to Rosie in regular conversational tone and she will
operate the best.
Part. 5- The importance of the batteries
1. Your clock will include the batteries already installed for your convenience.
2. The batteries are important to store your programmed settings of the clock. This is
important for when you unplug and move the clock or if you experience a power
outage.
3. This is very important because if the batteries are not in place you will be required to
re-set the date. This will likely require the assistance of someone with sight.
4. If you wish to ensure the batteries are fresh we recommend that you change the
batteries while the clock is plugged in the AC so that the date setting is not lost.
Part. 6- Manually setting the date.
If you would like to try to set the date on your own, please follow these steps:
1. Hold Rosie with the front side facing you. The AC wire will be on the backside of the
clock. Towards the top on the backside you will feel 7 buttons.
2. Counting from the left to the right count the fifth button. This is the mode button.
The button immediately before in the forth position is the up button. It is very
important to remember that when you set the manual mode that you cannot hesitate
when setting. If you wait for more than three seconds then the manual mode will turn
off and you will have the clock in the original standby mode.
OK, so here is how it is done. Find the fifth button which is the mode. Press the mode button 5 times and it will be at the calendar year. It begins the calendar year at 2009. So you will immediately push the up button to set the appropriate year. For instance, if it is 2013, then you will push the up button 4 times. If its 2014 then you will push the button 5 times. After the year is set, you must hit one time the mode button in the fifth position from the left. Remember that if you hesitate more than 3 seconds before the last push of the button the clock will go in standby original setting mode and you will have to pick up where you left off. So if you did the year then you will have to get to the month mode by pushing the mode six times now. Picking up again from the month setting, it begins with January. When you click the up button in the forth position once then it will be on February. Set the month by clicking the button the appropriate number of times. For example if it is October then you would push the button 9 times. The again without much hesitation click the mode button in the fifth position once again to get to the day of the month. It starts with the first of the month and the up button in the forth position must be pressed the appropriate number of times to get you to the correct day. For example if it is the fifteenth of the month you will have to push the button 14 times.
Once the date is set wait more than three seconds for the clock to go in standby mode. Wake Rosie by saying “Reminder Assistant” and she will respond “Can I help you?” and then simply say “What day is it?” or simply “What day?” and see if your setting is correct.
If it is not the intended date it is best to begin fresh from the beginning to reset. To reset from the beginning you must unplug the clock and remove one of the batteries. If you do not remove the batteries, then the incorrect date will remain stored in the clock.
