How to Set Alarms

The e-pill MeDose PARKINSON Vibrating 12 Alarm Watch and Auto-Reset Count-Down
Interval Timer offers the patient Two (2) Different Ways of helping to remember to take
medications on a daily schedule.

Fixed Daily Schedule: For PD
patients starting their day at the
SAME TIME, use 1 - 12 DAILY
Auto-Reset ALARMS (use ALM
setting 1 thru 12). This feature is
used by patients taking
medication(s) on the same schedule
each day (TRUE Alarm Timer).

Varying Daily Schedule: For PD
patients starting their day at a
DIFFERENT TIME each day, use
the Auto-Reset Count-Down
INTERVAL TIMER (use CDT /
REP setting). This feature is used
by patients taking medication(s) at
different times each day.

No Alarm Reset Required: When the alarm “goes off”, simply take your medication(s) as
instructed by your healthcare professional. You will be reminded by a 20 Seconds long;
Vibrating Alarm, Beep (sound) Alarm or BOTH alarms at the same time (see TIME
section). No extra steps required by the patient – this e-pill Medication Reminder Alarm
Watch will continue on the pre-set FIXED DAILY or VARYING DAILY schedule.

Once the e-pill MeDose Vibrating 12 Alarm Watch has been set, it will repeat the alarms
every day at the same time (ALM) or with a certain interval (CDT). When the vibration /
sound get weak, you need to replace the CR2032 battery (see section below).

Fixed Daily Schedule (ALM 1 - 12)

Your e-pill MeDose PARKINSON has up to twelve (12) Individual Alarms (“multiple alarm
clocks”). No alarm reset is required by the patient once the alarm(s) have been set. Alarms
reset automatically each day at midnight.

This setting works best for Parkinson’s patients that start their day at the same time every
day. The maximum number of daily alarms is twelve (12). Alarm duration is 20 Seconds.

 Tap button C until mode “ALM” is shown with a number N (N=1 thru 12) on the

display.

Tap button B to go to the alarm you want to
be set. AL1 (first alarm), AL2 (second alarm)
…..to AL12 (last alarm).

Alarms should be set in consecutive order
starting with the earliest alarm. For each
DAILY alarm (1 ALM – 12 ALM) that you
need to set, do the following:

 Press and hold button D for 5 seconds to enter the setting (programming) mode.

The HOURS will start flashing and “ON” will appear next to the minutes (lower right hand
corner, see picture).

 Tap A (increase) or B (decrease) until the correct HOUR is reached. Please note the PM

indicator or AM indicator (lower left side of display). The AM / PM may be hard to read (a
magnifier may help) if your watch is set for AM/PM time.

 Tap C
 Tap A (increase) or B (decrease) until the correct MINUTE is reached.
 Tap D to leave setting mode and store the alarm setting.

Proceed to your next alarm by tapping button B. You may set up to 12 auto repeating daily
alarms. Please make sure ON is displayed next to the minutes in the lower right hand corner.
If “OF” (alarm OFF) is showing you can toggle to “ON” (alarm ON) by tapping D.

The Alarm can be set to Vibrating Alarm, Sound Alarm or Both (Vibration AND Sound).

Note: To turn OFF an alarm already set, tap the D button when the alarm is shown on the display.

Varying Daily Schedule (CDT up to 99 hours)

The e-pill MeDose PARKINSON has a Count
Down Timer (CDT / Interval Timer). The
Count-Down Interval Timer can be put in
Auto-Reset mode. The alarm duration is 20
Seconds. No alarm reset is required by the
patient once the interval has been set and the
count-down has started in auto-reset mode.

When in this mode, the e-pill alarm watch is
in an “end-less” loop“;

 count-down  alarm re-set 

Example: your Doctor wants you to take your Parkinson’s medications every 4 ½ hours.

The picture shows the Auto Re-Set Count-Down Interval Timer turned On (CDT is shown with the upper and

lower line in front of it). The interval in the picture is set to 4 Hours and 30 Minutes and it will auto-repeat.

The CSDT setting works best for Parkinson’s patients that start their day at a different time
each day, yet need to take medication(s) on a FIXED INTERVAL (Hours and Minutes).

The Alarm can be set to Vibrating Alarm, Sound Alarm or Both (Vibration and Sound).

This setting CDT works best for Parkinson’s patients that do NOT start their day at the same time

every day AND are taking medications on a fixed interval basis.

 Tap button C until mode “CDT” is shown on the display.

You can set the Count-Down Interval Timer for “ONE count-down” or for “REPEAT” count-

down (“endless loop”). When in “endless loop” two line are shown on the display in front of the

word CDT / REP. To set or change the CDT timer settings:

 Press and Hold button D for 5 seconds and the Interval HOUR will begin to flash.
 Tap A (increase) or B (decrease) until the correct HOUR is reached to set Interval

duration in Hour(s) (up to 99 Hours).

 Tap C to go to MINUTES. The Interval MINUTES will begin to flash.
 Tap A (increase) or B (decrease) until the correct MINUTES are reached to set the

Interval duration in Minute(s).

 Tap C to go to REP (Repeat Interval). REP will begin to flash.
 Tap A to Turn ON Repeat (two lines are shown before REP) or Turn OFF Repeat

(NO lines are shown before REP)

 Tap D to confirm and store your interval alarm time settings.
 Tap A to start the countdown timer. If the Two Lines are shown before the word CDT

the Auto-Repeat function is turned on.

 Tap C to go back to real time.

Tap button A to Stop. When timer is stopped, press button B and the preset interval will be
reloaded (Repeat Timer). Press button A to start / re-start the count-down interval timer.

The interval timer (Count-Down Timer duration) can be set in Hours and Minutes up to a
maximum of 99 Hours and 59 Minutes (over 4 days). Once the count-down timer has
reached “zero” the watch will alarm for 20 seconds. You will also get a “heads-up”
notification when 3 minutes (3 pulses) are left, 2 minutes (2 pulses) are left and 1 minute (1
pulse) is left (“3 – 2 – 1 then 20 Seconds Alarm”) .

To save battery life, you may want to turn off the count-down interval timer during the
night. To stop the Count-Down timer Tap button A. Tap button B to re-load the previous
interval.

Note: This alarm watch will sound 3 beeps/vibration at 3 minutes, 2 beeps/vibration at 2
minutes and 1 beep/vibration at 1 minute before the timer counts down to zero. The watch
will alarm for 20 seconds when the count-down timer reaches zero.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT / RUN RESERVE

Our e-pill MeDose PARKINSON 12 Alarm Watch runs on a CR2032 button cell. At the
first sign of low power (dim display, low vibration), have the battery replaced. We strongly
recommend that you take your e-pill alarm watch to a jeweler for battery replacement,
instead of changing it on your own.

Run Reserve: You can change the battery without losing the settings.
The run reserve is One (1) minute.

IMPORTANT: The battery can be replaced without re-programing the alarm watch.

If you need to re-set the watch connect the two contact points labeled “AC” on the circuit
board inside the watch. You will need to reprogram your watch after the reset.

This e-pill Medication Reminder Alarm Watch uses a CR2032 3 Volt Lithium Battery.
