Setting Up Your Chummie Pro Bedwetting Alarm System

How do I set up the alarm unit and mat?

Place the Chummie bedwetting alarm unit on the bedside or someplace convenient where your child can hear the alarm and reach it to turn it off.

• Insert the IntelliFlex mat into the cloth sleeve that is provided with the Chummie alarm system.
• Place the bed sheet directly over the mat. Ensure that your child does not come in contact with the mat. The mat is sensitive and sweat from the body can trigger the Chummie alarm.

Troubleshooting the Chummie Pro Bedwetting Alarm

My Chummie beeps once every minute. What do I do?
