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 possible alarms, press and hold down the alarm 1 button. Continue to hold the alarm 1 button down while advancing first the HOUR and then the MIN buttons. You will need to use another finger to advance the HOUR and then MIN buttons.

B. Press AM-PM to set an AM or 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 lit. Pressing the alarm button will toggle the alarm from on to off, shown by the light above the alarm going on and off. If you want the alarm to be set, the light must be ON when you release the button.
Double check your alarms. If you have a two-times-a-day regimen, you should see two lights on above the alarm buttons.

4. 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 counterclockwise slightly and easily lift the lid off. With the AC adapter plugged into both your electrical wall socket and the unit, press the 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 28 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 step 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 of the "T" bar. Press the test button to ensure the blank is in the displayed position and again slide the "T" bar forward 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.

5. 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 clockwise to latch. Use the key
to lock the lid in place.

6. IMPORTANT POINTS

A. Power supply. You should use the AC wall power supply whenever you can. The back-up batteries should only be used for short-term power outages and short term traveling. When you get to your destination, please use the AC wall socket plug to power the unit.

B. 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

Special note – SETUP FOR MONITORED SYSTEM

To initiate recognition of the MedReady unit to the monitor unit, put the monitor unit in a learn mode and then, immediately press and hold Alarm 1 and then press Alarm 2 on the MedReady unit. Both MedReady buttons should be held until you get the proper signal from the monitor. This time should be about 4 seconds. The unit is now ready to monitor the medication compliance of the individual.
