Operating Instructions
Alarm Settings
The Shock Clock 2 offers customizable alarm sequences using vibrations, beeps, or electric zaps. You can adjust the intensity of the zap within the app.
- Standard Alarm: Set your desired wake-up time and choose your preferred stimulus (vibration, beep, or zap).
- Jumping Jacks Wake Up: Activate this feature in the app to require a set number of jumping jacks to disable the alarm. The device uses a motion sensor to track your activity. This feature is designed to physically get you out of bed.
- QR Code Wake Up: For an advanced wake-up guarantee, print a QR code from the Pavlok website (pavlok.com/qrcode) and place it in another room. The alarm will only deactivate once you scan this QR code with your phone, forcing you to leave your bed.
- Snooze Zap: Enable this setting to receive a zap if you attempt to hit the middle button on the device to snooze your alarm.

Troubleshooting

- Inconsistent Tracking Data: While the device provides approximations, significant inconsistencies in sleep or step tracking might indicate a need to re-pair the device or check for app updates.
