e-pill® MedTime Station
Locked Automatic Pill Dispenser with Station
Introduction
The e-pill MedTime Station is designed to remind and dispense pills
according to the patient’s dosing schedule; reminding by means of
auditory alarm and flashing light. The dispenser will make the correct
dose available at the correct time, keeping all other pills secure via a
locked lid. The metal Station makes dispensing pills for those with
dexterity concerns easy. No more spilled pills.
e-pill MedTime Station is locked but it is not tamperproof, therefore it
should not be used to administer pain medications or Schedule II/III
drugs.
Do not place e-pill MedTime Station in direct sunlight as it may cause
operational malfunction.
How it Works
At dose time the alarm will sound, and the internal tray will rotate
making the correct dose available. Pull the blue handle towards you to
release the correct dose and silence the alarm.

Error Handling
Error: Medications Will Not Dispense When Pulling the Handle
Solution:
1. With the metal base securely fastened, pull the blue handle all the
way to the bump stop.
2. Check all compartments for stuck pills.
a. Gel-caps: Adding a thin coating of standard baking flour to
the compartments can help prevent blockage.
b. Tablets: Splitting larger tablets into smaller pieces using a
pill splitter can help prevent blockage.
Type 1 Error: “ERR”Displayed –The Tray is Not Rotating
Causes:
1. The tray has been tampered with. This is often due to the patient
putting a finger into the dispensing window and forcing the tray
to rotate in order to gain access to their medication(s) prior to the
scheduled time. It is important to never force the tray to rotate.
2. The tray has become jammed.
Solution:
1. Please call us: e-pill Medication Reminders 1-800-549-0095.
Type 2 Error: Dispensing Will Not Silence the Alarm
Causes:
1. The batteries are near depletion.
2. The dispenser’s sensor that turns off the alarm when tipped is
damaged. This can occur if the dispenser is dropped, shaken, or
transported (with the batteries still in the unit).
Solutions:
1. Replace all 4 AA batteries immediately. Only use alkaline.
2. If replacing the batteries does not solve the error, please call us:
e-pill Medication Reminders: 1-800-549-0095.
