Introduction
The e-pill® MedSmart Voice locked automatic pill dispenser is designed to
remind and dispense pills according to the patient’s dosing schedule,
reminding by means of voice alarm and blinking lights. MedSmart Voice will
make the correct dose available at the correct time, keeping all other pills
secure via a locked lid.
We recommend that you always keep e-pill MedSmart Voice locked. Two keys
are included - one key for the caregiver and one key to be kept as a backup.
Note: e-pill MedSmart Voice is a locked pill dispenser, but it is not rated as being
tamperproof. It should NOT be used to administer pain medications or Schedule
II/III drugs.
How it Works
At dose time, the alarm will sound and the internal tray will rotate, making the
correct dose available. Turn the dispenser upside down to dispense - this will
release the correct dose and silence the alarm.

SETUP –STEP 2
Filling the Tray
1. Remove the clear tray that is inside the dispenser. This makes filling the
tray easier.
2. e-pill MedSmart Voice comes with 9 different dosage templates. Each
template is designed for a specific number of alarms and, very
importantly, the time of day you are filling the tray. Place the correct
template based on your needs into the tray’s template slot.
3. With the tray’s e-pill sticker at 6 o’clock, fill the tray counter-clockwise.
The first dose goes into the compartment immediately to the right of the
tray’s e-pill sticker.
4. Fill compartments (up to 28 dosages are available) with pills using the
dosage template as a guide.
5. Place the tray into the dispenser. Align the tray so that the compartment
with the tray’s e-pill sticker is directly below the gray button labeled “B”.
6. Close the lid, turn the dispenser over, and lock the dispenser

Dispensing
1. The device will alarm for up to 60 minutes along with blinking lights
2. Slide open the white dispensing door
3. Dispense by turning e-pill MedSmart Voice upside down
4. Dispensing turns off the alarm. You’ll be confirmed with “Thank you”
after medications are dispensed.
Alarm Duration
At alarm time a voice reminder “It’s time for your medications” will sound for
up to 60 minutes. During the first 10 minute the alarm will go off once a
minute. For minutes 11-59 the alarm will go off every 3 minutes. The lights
will blink every 3 seconds for up to 60 minutes.
Missed Dose
If a dose is not dispensed within 60 minutes after the alarm has started, the
voice reminder message “Patient may have missed their medications” will
sound every minute for up to 4 minutes. After this, the pills will remain
available until the next alarm time when the next dose rotates into position,
and thus rotating away the missed dose.
Low Battery
We recommend keeping e-pill MedSmart Voice plugged in. However, when the
dispenser starts to run low on battery, the low battery symbol will appear. At
this time, replace all 4 AA batteries as soon as possible - using only alkaline
batteries. The estimate battery life is 6-12 months when not plugged in.
Note: Only use alkaline/non-rechargeable batteries in e-pill MedSmart Voice.
The dispenser does not charge batteries.
Power Saving Mode
To save power, e-pill MedSmart Voice will enter stand-by mode by turning off
its display after several minutes of no operation. At alarm time, the dispenser
will wake up and sound its alarm.
