The Shock Clock is a wearable device that helps users wake up and get out of bed instead of snoozing and sleeping in. The Shock Clock uses three sensory stimuli (vibrate, beep, and zap) to ensure you wake up on time.
The Shock Clock isn’t like other alarm clocks you’ve tried. Other alarms rely on annoying you until you give up and get out of bed – awake, but now in a terrible mood because of your annoying alarm.
That is NOT how you want to start your day. Often, the sensation of touch can work much better than the sound of an alarm.
Charge the module through the Micro-USB port on the side of the module using the included USB cord. Plug one end into the Shock Clock, and the other into a computer’s USB port or USB wall charger. Shock Clock will pulse red when charging and turn solid yellow when fully charged.
To insert the module into the wristband, make sure that the lightning bolt lines up with the lightning bolt in the band, and press firmly into the band until the module fits securely. To remove the module, push down on the edges of the wristband face.
The lightning bolt is a button used to either Snooze (1 press) or Turn off (hold for 5 seconds) the alarm. The snooze will last for 5 minutes before alerting you to wake up again with your chosen stimuli. Please note that while the Shock Clock is in snooze mode, it will blink red every 15 seconds.
Note: You can set Alarms to repeat on a recurring basis. To determine what days the alarm will trigger. Select each day of the week you would like the alarm to trigger in the repeat section (Figure B). New alarms are by default one-time alarms.
Sometimes one alarm just isn’t enough. To set additional alarms, just tap the + sign again. Make sure to hit “Save” once you’ve finished each alarm to program it to your device.

When setting an alarm using Multi Zap you also have the option to turn on Snooze Zap. This will provide an extra wake up call in the form of a zap the moment you hit snooze each time regardless of the stimuli you are using.
Ever have trouble getting out of bed? Meet Snooze Lock — the first alarm that uses motion tracking to help you get out of bed and stay out of bed.
Enable Snooze Lock in the Create an Alarm screen, and the device’s snooze will no longer work. Instead, when you feel the initial stimuli (usually vibration). You will need to get out of bed and perform 5-10 jumping jacks. This turns the alarm off!
Pavlok uses a 3-axis accelerometer to track your sleep cycles and estimate the time spent in deep sleep, light sleep, and restless sleep.
Enable this feature by sliding the orange slider (Figure A) before you go to sleep. Now, it’s time to go to bed! Put your phone away, and let the device track your sleep peacefully.
When you wake up, you can turn off tracking by swiping the orange slider left (Figure B), or the next alarm will automatically turn off tracking.
If you wish to have a stronger wake up stimuli, we have got you covered! Go into the alarm settings and navigate over to “Stimuli Strength.” From there you can raise or lower the strength of the zap.
You can always tap the stimuli icon to ensure the stimuli is at just the right setting for your personal needs.
Sometimes one zap is just not enough to get you out of bed. While setting an alarm, scroll down until you see “Multi Zap.” By default, the zap is set to go off only once, but you can press the plus button to receive up to five zaps in a row. Five zaps will certainly help to wake you up!
The timer is a helpful tool to help you monitor your activity by helping you set limits or time a specific event. Set a timer for 15 minutes for example and receive a zap, beep, or vibration when the time is up!
To set up a timer navigate to the Clock section and select Timer. Simply set the timer for however long you would like it to be.
Note: If you need to pause the timer simply hit stop and then start to begin the countdown again. If you wish to create a whole new timer and cancel the old one hit “Reset.”
The Stopwatch is a helpful tool to use if you need repeating stimuli. To use the Stopwatch, you must first be paired to your Shock Clock.
Navigate to the Stopwatch tab in the Clock section of the app. You can run the stop watch without triggering a stimuli, or check the box next to the stimuli menu and press the stimuli button to adjust the type of stimuli, strength of stimuli, and frequency (1-60 measured in seconds or minutes between each stimuli).
Once you have set your options, press Start to start your Stopwatch.
Note: To stop the stimuli, you must press Stop in the Stopwatch, or else it will keep going until Shock Clock runs out of battery!
