The Automatic medication dispenser reminds the user to take his/her their medications with visual and auditory alerts. The dispenser features a locking function and allows you to remotely program up to a 4-6 times/day, 7 days/week schedule.

Travel Mode
When taking the medication dispenser with you while traveling, the local siren will still sound an alarm when the scheduled alert time is reached, and the pills will be dispensed. But the activity tracking report function will not work since there would be no ability to communicate with the server to update the report. And the user cannot reprogram the pill dispenser due to having no communication with the server.

Reset
If you need to reset the device, press and hold down the “Sync button” for 15 seconds, and once LED 3 turns on, release the button immediately. LED 3 should blink every second.

Battery Life
Four AA batteries should last 180 days if dispensing 6 schedules a day.
