The 29-section tray sits inside the lockable case.
At dose time, tilting the dispenser releases the dose into the hand.
Two compartments can be set to open together for people with many or large tablets.
Start delay and stop functions let a family member or pharmacy fill a tray in advance, or rotate two dispensers so only one is active at a time.
Four alarm sounds plus a flashing light. Choose how long it alarms, from 5 minutes to 5 hours.
Shows the times the last 28 doses were dispensed, handy for carers and professionals.
The lid locks with the key supplied, keeping other medication out of sight.
Adjusts for British Summer Time, and can be set for other regions and time zones.

An optional setting allows a dose to be dispensed up to 5 hours early by tipping the dispenser upside down twice. We don't recommend it for people who get confused about their medication.
It depends on the number of doses: about every 28 days for one dose a day, every 14 days for two, every 9 days for three, every 7 days for four, or every 4 days for seven.
All your settings, such as dose times and alarm sound, are kept. Only the clock may need resetting if the batteries were left out or had run flat.
Wipe the dispenser with a damp cloth. The tray can be washed in warm water or a dishwasher at up to 70°C.
Some medicines shouldn't be exposed to air or stored in any dispensing system. If in doubt, check with your pharmacist.
