What happens if they forget to close the door? Does it still rotate and alert at next dosage and how would alert be turned off if the door is open
883538
Right before the next alarm goes off the door closes then the tray rotates with the alarm.

Yes the door will close at next med time and the tray will rotate to next dosage! When you put the top back on the med tray you MUST make sure the little arm is on the correct side of the door! This is what shuts the alarm off when the door is fully open and closes the door at next med time!

Yes, the alarm still goes off if the door is left open. I just tried it tonight. The door closed when the alarm went off. When you open the door the alarm goes off. The alarm is a high pitched beep. I have high frequency hearing loss and cannot hear it in the next room.

If they forget to close the door, the alarm still sounds but the pills won't rotate. To turn the alert off you have to close, then open, then close the door again. But still, the pills will not rotate even after u do that.

It closes the door at the next alarm time and then it has to be opened and everything works well.The problem with dementia people is that they take the pills out of the machine but then forget what to do with them. This is the problem that I am now having with my parent. I have made big signs. What we really need is a fancier machine that would give voice instructions step by step. Very sad to see a parent like this.

You set the alarm to sound for a certain amount of time(for my mother I set it to stay on for 1 hr). After the hour is up the door stays open until the next alarm goes off. For my mother we had 3 alarms that went off in the course of a day.

I now remember having to internally disconnect the electronic connection to the speaker by cutting the wire. The speaker feature us useless!

I lined it up, opened the door. When the alarm went off, I took the backing off and stuck it permanently. It works perfectly. Someone opened my door one night and I heard the alarm from upstairs. The intruder left promptly. Also, it alerts when children leave or enter the house, or leave the door open.

The compartment rotates to the open spot on the wheel and stays available until the next alarm (how long depends on if you are dosing once, twice, or three or more times a day). Not getting up at the same time isn't the problem. If they don't hear the alarm they have to REMEMBER to look at the pill dispenser. My mom had Alzheimers so if she slept through the alarm she had no idea pills were waiting for her.

If the door has a glass window on it I would assume it would work the same way. If the window breaks or vibrates it should set off the alarm.

Hello,Yes, the alarm system once triggered, will sound for the determined amount of time you personally chose (00-30 Minutes). Then it will shut off, and reset. Meaning the alarm system is armed again, awaiting the next break-in attempt.Thanks.www.FortressSecurityStore.com

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!

If you arm it in the away mode, it will have a delay so you can enter and exit. However, if you want it to immediately go off, put the switch on the side of the unit to "stay" and enter your code while the door is still open. Then close the door as you leave, and then it will immediately go off when you enter.

I use it to go off every two hours and haven't had to reset it. I love it and it makes remembering to take my pills so much easier. It also gives a 10 & 5 minute warning.

I loved it. Yes, you can, sort of. You'll need to set two alarms at specific 12-hour intervals. Like one at 7am and one at 7pm. I take my meds at 6am because I have to have an empty stomach and can't eat for an hour. So the alarm goes off, I take it with water on my nightstand, roll over and go back to sleep. Sometimes I wake up an hour or two later and can't remember if I really took it. That's the best feature of this--I can look at the lid and it will confirm for me that I did indeed open the lid, and then confirm that I took it.

Yes. The alarm is triggered when a sensor changes state. So if you leave it open and don't touch it, it will not trigger the alarm

By silencing the alarm you are in effect turning them off. The instructions walk you thru the process (holding certain buttons til dashes appear). You should get no movement or sound for those alarms(3 and 4). Hope this helped. It's been a life saver for me. Mom is fixated on her pills, and is always trying to get at them. As a matter of fact, I just ordered a second dispenser.

yes, we never had any problems with that. I bought this for my father who had Alzheimer's. And the only problem we ever had was getting him to remember to slide the compartment door closed after getting his meds. If you do not close the sliding compartment door - it will not rotate to the next compartment and open when the next dose is due.

You set it up once and it reminds you everyday up to 4 times per day. You only have to push a button to shut it up. It will not stop talking until you acknowledge it. You don't have to push a reminder button, but once you push the button to acknowledge, the alarm will not go off again until it's time for your next Meds. If you shut it off without taking your Meds, it will not remind you to take that missed dose. It works really well, I would not like to be without it ever again! It is very easy to set up and use. If you have to take medicines more than once a day, and if you wander from room to room searching for something you can't remember...this MedCenter is for you!

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 pill box actually has two alarms which can be set to go off simultaneously--vibrate and a loud chirp. They are turned off by pressing the center, round button. This is a good product, doesn't last forever, but cheap enough to replace every few years.

Jim, it will close the door automatically according to the setting you use. I use the 3 1/2 minute setting but you can go to 5 minutes on up. It connects in two places ... the main box with the settings, etc gets attached to a wall next to or near your existing switches to open and close the door and the sensor gets attached to the rail upon which the door moves. Hope this helps, I love this product as does my neighbor.

It wil give you the alert or warning a couple of times and then shut off or you can shut it off manually. The alert or warning light will remain on. Hope this helps.
