Change of Battery
e-pill CADEX runs on a CR2032 button cell. At the rst sign of
low power (dim display), have the battery replaced. We strongly
recommend that you take your e-pill CADEX to a jeweler for
battery replacement, instead of changing it on your own.
IMPORTANT: Once the battery is replaced, in order for the watch
to function properly, you need to reset the watch by pressing and
holding in the 4 buttons on the sides until the watch display goes
blank. Release the buttons and the watch will beep. You will need
to reprogram your watch after the reset.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Medical Alert (ICE)
If you currently wear a Medical Alert Identication Bracelet or
necklace, you should CONTINUE TO WEAR IT. This watch is
an electronic device. If the watch’s electronic parts or battery fail
no one will be able to access your important medical information.
DO NOT TAKE THIS RISK.
Water Resistance
This watch is NOT WATER PROOF. It will withstand splashes
and rain but not swimming, bathing, and showering.
DO NOT USE IN SHOWER OR SWIMMING POOL
Care of Your Watch
Avoid exposing the watch to temperature extremes. Avoid dropping
the watch. Avoid exposing the watch to gasoline, cleaning solvents,
adhesive agents, paint, or aerosol sprays.
DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER
CAUTION: Dead battery, replacement of battery, malfunction or
repairs will cause all data stored in the memory of the watch to be
deleted. It is recommended that you keep separate written copies
of all important data. In no event will e-pill, LLC be liable for loss

How to Erase Information
You can erase information in two ways. Most
commonly you may want to erase a medication
name. To do this, you must overwrite the
medication name with “spaces”. There is a
“space” character just before the letter A. It
looks like a blinking underline. You must
overwrite each letter in the medication name
with this “space” character.
ALERT Button (In Case of Emergency)

unable to speak for yourself), the Medication Alarms
(“ALARM BANK”) and Medical Information Data
(“DATA BANK”) stored in the e-pill CADEX watch
can be displayed by pressing the red ALERT button
on the face of the watch repeatedly. The only item that
will not display is the credit card entry. This is for your
protection. If you need to view this item, do it through
the Databank setting procedure.

tasks at the appropiate times.

When one of the medication alarms goes off the watch will begin to
beep continuously for one minute and the Text Message (if set) will
scroll across the face of the watch. This continuous beeping can be
turned off by pressing either FORWARD or REVERSE. The watch
will then enter Medical Snooze (Reminder Mode). In this mode:
The Text Message (if set) will continue to scroll across the face
of the watch. If there are multiple alarms existing in Medical
Snooze, each alarm entry will scroll across the face of the watch
in turn.
The watch will give two beeps every three minutes. This will
subtly remind you to take your medications in the event that you
get sidetracked.
Multiple alarms in Medical Snooze may cause the watch to do its
reminder beep more often than every three minutes.
The watch will remain in medical snooze for up to 4 hours (240
minutes) for each alarm.
When in Medical Snooze, alarms can be turned off by pressing
either FORWARD or REVERSE. We recommend that you only
