-
clockwise to unlock.
Please note that the lock is a simple device intended as
an additional barrier only.
Battery Cover Screw
A screw is provided to prevent inappropriate access to the batteries (should this be
necessary). Place the screw in the hole in the battery cover securing clip and tighten.
The screw must be removed when the batteries need changing. It should then be replaced.
Medicines:
There are some pills that should not be exposed to the air and therefore should not be used
in the dispenser. If in doubt please check with your pharmacist.
Pharmacy filling:
Many pharmacies will fill the TabTimer® Careousel MK3/11 Dispenser.
The device meets the requirements of the Quality Care Pharmacy Program (QCPP).
For the suggested Standard Operating Procedure for pharmacy filling of the TabTimer®
Careousel MK3/11, please ask your pharmacist to contact TabTimer Pty Ltd.
Fault handling:
The alarm will sound continuously in the event of the dispenser failing to rotate properly.
This might be caused by an obstruction between the body of the dispenser and the internal
tray. In this event the display will show ‘ERROR’. A battery should be removed and then
immediately replaced. Any obstruction should be removed.
If the dispenser is upside down at the alarm time, the internal tray will not move until the
dispenser is turned upright. If the dispenser is upside down for all the time between the
‘BEFORE’ and ‘AFTER’ settings a warning signal will sound and ‘TILTED’ will be displayed.
Press Button 3 once to cancel. Check the position of the internal tray to ensure that the
correct medicine due will be available at the next alarm time.
If the dispenser was upside down for the duration of 1 or more alarms, the medicine due to
be presented at the next scheduled alarm may not be the correct one for that time of day.
