The alarm goes off and then what happens, does the person need to open a lock, do you tip the tray to get the meds,

The person simply pushes the little door back to reveal the pills that have been preloaded in the respective slots.

You slide the little white cover up towards the center and can easily remove the meds. The alarm can be set for different lengths of time. I have Mom's set for an hour. Once that hour is up, the tray inside rotates and she would no longer be able to get that dose. That way she cannot over medicate. Also, if she were to miss doses I will know it when I refill it. It has a little key lock. I highly recommend this. Mom keeps telling me how great it is also. She no longer has to try to remember if she took her meds.

the The alarm goes off, the little sliding cover has to be moved upward (it slides) to open and the pills are taken by picking them up with the fingers, The alarm goes off when the sliding cover is brought down and secure again. . The timer then will rotate and goes off again when its time to take another dosage.

When the alarm sounds, the white slide needs to be pushed back until it clicks. That turns off the alarm and reveals the medication. The person takes the medication and waits for pill time again. My mom with Alzheimers uses this machine, I call her at pill time. It is simple and you do not need to go over to the house at pill time, or worry that they took the pills twice or not at all. I have been very happy with this purchase.

Yes, the alarm will go off when you pick baby up. This lets you know it's working. It will give a warning beep when you do so which allows you enough time to get back to the monitor to switch it off before the real alarm goes off, it's super easy to disarm though, one of the angel wings you slide up and down to turn on and off. Super easy: you get the hang of it in no time!

No, in order to advance the tray, you must wait until the timer advances it to next compartment. That is a big benefit because it does not allow an impaired user to take more pills than he\she should!

Once the times are set, the vibrator or beep sounds periodically until the pill cover is rotated to disable the alarm. The cover might be difficult to rotate if the person has trouble with grip but otherwise it is simple to use as the 5 alarm times are automatically reset every day. 6 hours would only require 4 time settings.

You pull out an activation pin. This allows a circuit to complete, setting off the alarm.

Did you get a manual with your pill box? I think all you do is cancel alarms 3 & 4. You would set alarm 1 and 2 and then when it goes to alarm 3 you press button 2 until you see --:--. It should then go to alarm 4 and you would do the same. This way it just skips alarm 3 & 4. Hope this helps. I don't know about you but this pill box has been great for my mom and me! I had my husband drill little holes through the top to make it louder, too.

This type of unit just gives you relay contacts, open when alarm tripped.The rest of it is up to an alarm control unit with sirens, lights .etc..

According to the paper that came with it, you press either the sounds or the volume key to stop the alarm,. I tried it, but it doesn't work very well. The tune usually doesn't last very long, but there is one tune that goes on and on.

Just turn it so the zero is facing up. The alarm should stop when you do that

You set the alarms for times... Say 9:00am then 3:00pm then 9:00pm. At those times the locked 'wheel' rotates letting you access the next space with pills. You can not see or get to other spaces unless you unlock and remove the top. You can't change the time or alarms unless it's unlocked and open.

You can do that but the alarm will be going off when you exit until you close the door.

No. It has a pin that when pulled will trigger the alarm. Otherwise than that the alarm will not go off.

I don't use the alarm. I set it for 7 am and 5 pm. That gives the user (my mom) 10 plus hours to retrieve the pills. Figured taking them late was better than taking multiple doses. (the pills are accessible until the next time spins around)

the "alarm window" is determined by the next alarm time and the dose is accessible anytime until the next alarm. However - if the dose isn't removed and the next alarm occurs, the missed dose stays in the tray which rotates away from the opening and the missed dose is not accessible note: most of what you're paying fr with this pill machine is the metal frame. It works, but not well. I wouldn't purchase it again... Note2: gel type capsules (e.g. vitamin E) frequently get stuck due to the design

just open the window prior to setting the alarm. once contact is broken they will not set it off.

As long as weight stays on the pad it won't trigger the alarm. The pad is the width of a hospital/twin bed so the person should always be on it when rolling side to side. I have had an occasion when the alarm has randomly gone off when the person is not even in bed - but I can't be positive it wasn't one of our pets triggering it.

You can lock the keys. He will have to remember to unlock the keys in order to turn the alarm off. Unless you are setting it every day, I don't think this would be the solution for your medication reminder.
