Navigating the Touchscreen
Your ShotClockr includes a stylus for easy touchscreen operation.
Tip: You’ll get the most accurate button presses using the stylus or any pen with the tip retracted. (Fingertip works too, but a stylus is especially helpful for the smaller on-screen keyboard.)
Mounting Your Device
ShotClockr is designed to mount securely to nearly any sharps container using the included Velcro.
Popular containers:
-
Tide Pod jug (clean, empty, label removed): sturdy and cheap
-
Ever Ready First Aid Sharps Container, 1 Quart, Split Lid: for a cleaner, medical look.
Note: ShotClockr has built-in mounting hardware for this specific container. No Velcro needed—just snap on!
Clean the surface and apply Velcro for other containers. Press firmly for best results.
First Time Setup
- Power Up: Connect ShotClockr to any USB power source. Wait for the main screen to appear.
- Enter Settings: Tap MENU.
Use +Y -Y +M -M etc. to set the year, month, day, hour, minute. Press SAVE to confirm.
- Set Timezone:
Tap TZ in the MENU.
Use + or - to cycle through timezone offsets (e.g. UTC-8 to UTC+14).
Note: If your area observes Daylight Savings Time, you’ll need to adjust the timezone when DST starts or ends.
- WiFi Setup (Optional, but enables alerts):
In MENU, tap WIFI. Select your network, enter password, tap CONNECT.
- Enter Pet Name & Email: In MENU, tap USER. Enter your pet's name, then your email address. A test email is sent for confirmation.
- Ready to Use: Main screen will show time since last injection. Drop a used syringe in to log a shot.
How ShotClockr Works
- Each time you drop a used syringe into the container, the sensor logs the event, updates the timer, and beeps (unless muted).
- You can also manually log an injection by tapping INJECT on the main screen.
- The display always shows “Time Since Shot” and the current date/time (if set).
Reminders & Alerts
- 12 Hours Since Last Shot: Device plays a gentle reminder beep every minute (unless muted).
- 12 Hours, 10 Minutes Since Last Shot: Device plays a louder alert beep. If WiFi is configured, an email alert is sent to your address.
- Device continues to beep once per minute until a shot is logged.
- All reminders use the time and timezone you set.
Logs & Clearing the Log
- Tap MENU then LOGS to view the last 10 injections (date/time + “Syringe” or “Injection”).
- To delete log entries, tap CLEAR in the LOGS screen.
Choose:
- Last — deletes only the most recent entry
- All — clears the entire log
- Cancel — exits without deleting
Log is stored on the SD card. If SD fails, an error will be shown.
Muting & Screen Timeout
- To mute/unmute beeps, tap MUTE (or UNMUTE) in the MENU.
- Screen will turn off after 30 seconds of no use; tap or wave your hand to wake it up.
Timezone & Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Important: All log times and email alerts use your selected timezone.
If your area observes DST, remember to adjust the timezone when DST starts or ends.
- From MENU, tap TZ to open timezone settings.
- Use + or - to select your correct UTC offset (e.g., UTC-6 for US Central Standard Time).
- Tap SAVE to apply.
- If WiFi is active, the device will resync to Internet time.
If you live where Daylight Saving Time applies, manually adjust the timezone by +1 hour when DST starts, and back -1 hour when it ends.
