The amazing sleep trainer for young children
Instructions for use
The Gro clock explained…
Stay in bed – When you activate your Gro clock, stars, and hearts appear around a sleeping Ollie. To show the passing of time, the stars disappear at even times during sleep or nap time.
Time to get up – When the clock reaches the wake-up time that you set, the stars disappear, and Ollie wakes up, meaning your child can get up.
After Ollie wakes up, it will remain displayed for two hours, before changing to the energy-saving mode where the digital clock is displayed until re-activated.
The Gro clock has two options – night-time sleep mode and day-time nap mode.
You only need to pre-set the wake-up times you want once (Step 3), but you need to activate the clock (Step 4), each time you use it.
Daily activation of the clock soon becomes part of the bedtime routine and needs to be done in order to set your Gro clock.
Use your bedtime storybook to help explain the Groclock to your child.

Frequently asked questions
Q. If the power is turned off, does the clock remember the correct time?
A. When the power goes off, the clock ‘freezes’ all the settings, including the main time, the wake-up times, and brightness settings. Therefore if the power goes off for a few seconds and then back on, the time will have been paused for a few seconds. However if the power was off say for 3 hours, then the time will be out by 3 hours and will therefore need resetting.
Q. If I need to keep the power on should I worry about electricity consumption?
A. Your Groclock uses LEDs so it’s naturally energy efficient. It also has a built-in energy-saving mode.
Q. What is the difference between the night–time and day–time nap mode?
A. The Groclock works the same way in both modes. The two modes enable two different ‘wake up’ times to be stored, this does not need to be daytime it could be an alternate night-time.
Q. Is there a demo mode so I can show my child how Ollie changes when he wakes up?
A. Yes! To set the demo mode press and hold the scroll up button for three seconds. To turn off the demo mode, press and hold the scroll-up button for three seconds.
Q. My screen has frozen and is not responding to the controls.
A. Switch the Groclock off at the mains, wait a few seconds and switch back on.
