INTRODUCTION
The Pivotell® Automac Pill Dispenser reminds the user by means of an alarm and ashing
light when to take their medicaon. It will make the correct dose available at the correct me
of day or night, whilst keeping other pills locked out of sight. Medicaon is dispensed from an
internal tray containing 29 secons. Maximum number of daily alarm sengs - 28.
When the alarm sounds the internal tray will rotate one posion. The correct dosage will
come into view in the lid opening. Pills should be removed from the dispenser by lng it and
pouring the pills into the hand or suitable container. This will also cancel the alarm signal and
the ashing light.

FILLING THE DISPENSER
1. Time Discs — three day/me discs are supplied which comprise:
Two printed discs for between 1 - 4 medicaon prompts per day (use either side) and one
blank disc for more than 4 medicaon prompts per day. The discs should be completed by
hand indicang the medicaon mes*. Select the appropriate disc for the number of doses
per day.
*NB: Before lling out the day/me discs, calculate which will be the date and me of the
user’s rst dose with the newly lled medicaon tray (parcularly if a pharmacy will rell
the tray) and start to the right of the red secon (see gure 4 below). Place the disc on top of
the tray. Secure the disc in place by bending down the four tabs (a spot or two of glue will
secure it further if preferred).
2. Medicaon Remove the tray from the dispenser. Starng from the right of the solid red
secon (do not ll this secon), place the correct dosage in each secon of the tray.
Note: if a pill is inadvertently dropped in an incorrect compartment, a pair of tweezers can be
helpful to easily remove the pill.

3. Replace the tray in the dispenser
Place the tray in the dispenser with the red secon showing
in the lid opening, so that when the lid is closed the rst
dose to be taken is to the right of the lid opening. At the
next alarm me the tray will rotate one secon clockwise
and make available the correct medicaon. (See gure 4).
Note: To avoid damaging the mechanism, the medicaon
tray must always be reposioned by liing it out and then
lowering directly into the case in the correct posion. Do
not force the tray to rotate.
4. Complete the pharmacy label carrier
Remove the re-posable adhesive pad cover on the
back and sck the pharmacy label carrier to the
baery case cover. Slide the plasc cover into
posion to protect it. (See gure 5).
Note: Re-usable spare trays with lids and me discs
can be purchased to allow pre-lling.
