Electronic pill box with alarm.
Introduction:
The Alecto ACP-80 pill box allows you to store
medicine for 5 daily moments. You can program up
to 5 times at which the alarm must sound while the
display indicates which medicine must be taken.
This schedule is repeated daily until you program
different times.
The ACP-80 pill compartments are only suitable for
dry medicine (pills, capsules, etc.), not for liquid or
ointments.
Power supply:
The ACP-80 is powered by 2 batteries: One
CR2025 lithium button cell for the clock and timer
function. This battery is already installed by the
factory, but can only be used after removing the
insulating strip.
The other is a 1.5V battery (size AAA) for the
sound and vibration alarm and for the display light-
ing. This battery is not included. Please use an
alkaline battery for this, not a rechargeable one.
