the tray.

■ Based on when you load the tray (prior to Morn(1), Noon(2)
Eve(3) or Night(4) etc.), select the disk with the “Start” prior to the
correct next Reminder/Alarm number.
Example 1: (Illustration A) If you take 3 medication doses per day, and the next
scheduled dose is at noon, then use the disk shown.
Example 2: (Illustration B) If you take 4 medication doses per day, and the next
scheduled dose is that night, the last dose that day, then use the disk shown.
■ Seat the chosen disk onto the tray and begin loading medications
into the first cell to the right of Start using the Medication
Planning Chart as reference.
■ Moving counter-clockwise (to the right), load your pills into each
of the appropriate cells (Illustration C).
* The 5 and 6 times a day guide disk are included on the front and back of
one disk and can be filled in with a nonpermanent marker or pencil to
accommodate your own dosing schedule.
