*Only $175.00 (includes initial delivery and setup)* 1. Loading Medication A. To open, first use the key to unlock the lid. Note: the key cannot be removed in the unlocked position. Next, rotate the lid clockwise slightly and easily lift the lid off. With the AC adapter plugged into both your electrical wall socket and the unit, press the ALARM TEST button. This will cause the tray to rotate and the alarm to sound. Slide the "T" bar forward to the "X" to stop the alarm from sounding. B. The medication for each dosage should be placed in 29 of the 29 cups of the removable tray. Leave the first cup empty to serve as the marker and first cup that appears at the dispensing bay when MedReady is activated. To conform to any regimen a different cocktail or combination of medications may be placed in each cup. The medication should be distributed in a counterclockwise direction since the tray rotates clockwise. Using the included filling ring makes this easier! C. In some cases the tray may be filled with medication when it is removed from the unit. After following the instructions in step B above, place the tray with the empty cup to the right of the "T" bar. Press the test button to ensure the blank is in the displayed position and again slide the "T" bar foward to the "X" position to stop the alarm from sounding. Sometimes it may be necessary to repeat this operation until the empty cup is in the dispensing bay position. When you put the lid back on, the empty cup should be showing when the slide is moved. 2. Setting Time of Day A. Set the time of day by pressing and holding down the TIME button with one finger while another finger presses the HOUR button until it advances to the correct hour. B. Continue to hold the TIME button down while you advance the minutes with the MIN button. C. Keep the TIME button down while you press AM-PM to select the time of day. D. A PM hour is shown by the single bright dot to the upper right of the clock. AM hour is identified when this bright dot is off. The clocks time is set as soon as the TIME button is released. 3. Setting Dispensing Time Setting the alarms is very similar to setting the clock! A. If one or more of the medications is to be taken at different times in a 24-hour period, you will need to use more than one alarm. To set the first of four alarms press and hold down the alarm 1 button. Keep the alarm 1 button down while another finger advances first the HOUR and the MIN buttons. B. Press AM-PM to set an AM of PM time. C.Repeat these steps for setting alarms 2 through 4 for the next three deliveries of oral medication if needed. You can review your dispensing times by pressing the individual alarm buttons. Remember: an alarm is set when the light above the alarm button is on. Press the alarm button to set/unset an alarm. For instances, if you have a two-times-a-day regimen, you should see two lights on above the alarm buttons. 4. Locking the Lid After the clock and dispensing times are set and the medications are organized in their cups, replace the lid over the tray and rotate it slightly counterclockwise to latch. Use the key to lock the lid in place. 5. Important Points Power supply. You should use the AC wall power whenever you can. The back-up batteries should only be used short-team power outages and short term traveling less than 72 hours. When you get to your destination, please use the AC wall socket plug to power the unit. When under battery power only the colon: will be displayed by the clock. Checking the Alarm. To check the power supply and ensure that MedReady is functioning, remove the lid and press the ALARM TEST button. The alarm will sound until you slide the "T" bar up to the "X". Remember the tray will move forward when you perform this check.
