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 re–setting.
Q. If I need to keep the power on to maintain the correct time, should I worry about electricity consumption?
Q. Is there a demo mode so I can show my child how it changes from the sun to Mr Star?
A. Yes! There is a built–in demo mode which runs through all the sun and Mr Star transitions. To set the Demo mode on, just press and hold the UP button for three seconds and the clock will show all the transitions on a continuous loop. To turn off the Demo mode, simply press and hold the UP button for three seconds.
Q. My screen has frozen and is not responding to the controls.
A. Switch the clock off at the mains, wait a few seconds and switch back on.
If you have any other questions, please call our customer services helpline on 0844 557 2983.
Safety
Your clock is a safe low voltage device, powered from a small mains operated power unit. For your continued safety and the reliability of your clock, please observe the normal electrical safety precautions:
● This product is not a toy. Please ensure that it is kept out of reach of children and never allow your child to play with either the power unit or the connecting lead
● Keep the product away from water and moisture. It’s intended for indoor use only
● Repairs should be carried–out only by a competent engineer. There are no customer adjustments or
fuses inside the clock case
● The clock has been designed to be robust, but it may be broken if dropped
● The connecting lead is low voltage only, but for reliability reasons it should be treated with care
● To completely disconnect the power unit, the AC/DC adapter must be unplugged from the mains
● Access to the AC/DC adapter should not be obstructed whilst in use
● Electro–static discharge may affect the working of your Gro–clock. If this occurs, simply switch the unit off for several seconds and the unit will re–set
● The apparatus and AC/DC adaptor shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on apparatus and AC/DC adaptor
● For use only with the power supply KB1B–060–0200D, manufactured by KS ● IMPORTANT! KEEP FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
A. No, your clock uses LEDs so it’s naturally energy efficient. However it also has a built–in energy saving mode. One hour after the wake up time has activated, the clock automatically turns off coloured LED lights and runs on a tiny amount of electricity. To re–activate just press any key and the colour LEDs will come back.
Q. What is the difference between the night–time and day–time nap mode?
A. In a way they are very similar because the clock works in exactly the same way in both modes. Once activated, the clock will count down and the star will change into the sun at the time set in each
mode. The reason there are two modes is so that parents who are putting their children to sleep during the day and at night can have the two different times stored, which saves them from having to re–set the wake up times every session.
Q. Can I make the alarm sound at any time and in any mode?
A. Yes! The time you set for the alarm is independent of the night–time or day–time nap modes. Therefore you could have the sun coming up silently at 7am and then the alarm sounding at 7.30am.
Q. How do I know if the alarm will sound?
A. The alarm bell icon appears in the cheek of the sun/star when the alarm is switched on.
Q. How can I stop my child from playing with buttons and changing the settings?
A. Very easily, by using the key–lock function, which is similar to the function on mobile phones. (See page 5).

To check it’s working press or and a cross will appear on the screen. To unlock the feature, just press and hold the button for 3 seconds until you hear a beep.
Top tip: practice this so that the child does not see you pressing and holding the keys!
The stars...
At the start there are 12 stars around Mr Star. In order to show your children the passing of time these stars will go out evenly over the sleep or nap time. For example, if you set the Gro–clock for 12 hours, one star will go out every hour, or if you set for 1 hour nap one star will go out every 5 minutes. When the clock reaches the getting–up time that you set, the star disappears into a sun–rise and the sun appears.

An entertaining musical walk down memory lane with Larry Small and Warren Lambert, and new music by Ema I’u, feature on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, July 22) on East FM.
Larry Small was on the show in April talking about his life in music entertainment and we’ve invited him back as guest DJ tomorrow. During Larry’s segment we’ll play music that was influential in his career, and we’re also putting the spotlight on one of his mates from a golden era of show bands in NZ, Warren Lambert, who we’ll be talking live with at 4pm.
Ema I’u is an Auckland-based musician and creative and amongst many interesting activities is doing great work with Holding Space Aotearoa. She’s got a new single out, Top Shelf, which we’ll debut on East FM, and chat with her at 5.30pm.
Warren Lambert, who also had a distinguished career in education, had a solo pop-singing career in the 1960s, dubbed ‘NZ’s Gene Pitney’.
He had records released on the Impact and Allied International labels, and toured nationally with shows featuring Larry’s Rebels, Peter Posa, The Chicks, Mr Lee Grant, and other 60s’ TV and NZ pop stars, including on Brian East’s Review 66 TV show.
Warren also performed for many years in a successful duo with another ‘60s Northland music legend, Kevin Jobbitt; made appearances on weekly TV show The Country Touch; and sang for 14 years with Arthur Skelton’s Dance Band Orchestra, playing at Peter Pan, Orange and Mandalay Ballrooms.
Ema I'u ( Ema Barton ) ( www.emaiu.com... ) has been involved in the arts for more than two decades, and for the past eight years she’s worked as a full-time musician, performing at festivals and on cruises as a soloist, as well as with successful cover bands Lucky May and Coco-Rocky. Having received a NZ On Air New Music Development Grant, as well as the New Music Pasifika Grant, Ema recently released her debut single Midnight Mistress and is working towards her debut album.
She says of new single Top Shelf: “This is an empowerment song. If someone is not giving you the love or attention you need, just get out there and have your own fun. Remember that you are Top Shelf, and deserve to have a good time. Mmm hmm.”

East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And tomorrow we’re remembering the past and looking to the future. – PJ
