Test # 2: Early Dose (TURN): Test the early dose feature and dispensing functions.
1. Press and hold Button 3 for five seconds until the display reads BEFORE, then tap
Button 1 until TEST displays.
2. Press Button 2 to start diagnostic Test #2.
The word TURN appears on the display.
3. Close the lid, turn Med-Time XL upside down twice, and then turn it back to the upright
position. The tray rotates and the alarm sounds.
4. Turn Med-Time XL over to simulate medication dispensing. If everything is normal, the
alarm will stop and the word TEST will re-appear on the display.
If the word ERROR appears at the end of the test, contact e-pill Medication Reminders or
the manufacturer.
The e-pill Med-Time XL has built-in functions for signalling failure in moving the
medication tray, low battery condition or if the dispenser is not resting in its normal
position (dispenser is left turned upside down).
If any error condition occurs, unlock the dispenser, remove any obstructions, remove the
batteries, and insert four fresh AA Alkaline batteries. Perform the diagnostic test as
described under TEST in Mode-B.
Rotational Error: If a rotational error condition occurs, the loudspeaker is turned on (the
alarm sounds continuously) and the display shows ERROR. This might be caused by an
obstruction between the body of the dispenser and the tray. Clear the obstruction, remove
and replace one battery to clear and reactivate Med-Time XL.
Low Battery: If a low battery condition occurs LOWBATT is displayed.
Upside Down: If the dispenser is lying upside down (during BEFORE and AFTER
interval), IT WILL NOT DISPENSE medications. A warning signal (constant alarm) is
sounded and the word TILTED is displayed. Reset by pressing Button 3. Check the
alignment of the medication tray.
