The Dose Flip will start to run on battery power. The device will enter “Sleep Mode” to conserve battery life. The screen will go to sleep, but the Dose Flip will continue to remind you when it is time to take your pills.
NOTE: The Dose Flip has a built-in safety feature that prevents it from automatically opening while in “Sleep Mode”. Instead, at the medication time the device will ask you to press “Dispense” on the screen. After pressing “Dispense” the device will open to the correct compartment and begin flashing light/sounding the alarm until the device is flipped and the medications have been taken.
When the battery is low, a beep will sound every 10 minutes followed by the screen lighting up and displaying a low battery message for 20 seconds. During these 20 seconds, you will have the option to snooze the low battery alarm for two hours by pressing the “SNOOZE” button.
The Dose Flip will no longer dispense the medications, but your settings will be saved. As soon as the device is plugged back in, it will begin charging and will be ready to use again.
This depends on the number of medication times that are set up on the Dose Flip. The Dose Flip can be set for up to 4 medication times per day, and it has 14 spaces for medications in a single tray.
If medications are taken 1 time per day, the device will need to be filled every two weeks.
If medications are taken 2 times per day, the device will need to be filled every week.
If medications are taken 3 times per day, the device will need to be filled every 4.5 days.
If medications are taken 4 times per day, the device will need to be filled every 3.5 days.
For ease of use, we suggest that more than one Dose Flip be used for medication schedules where medications are taken more than 2 times per day. With multiple Dose Flips, each Dose Flip can be set for up to 2 medication times per day, which means the devices will only have to be filled every week at most.
For example, someone who takes medications 4 times per day would have one Dose Flip set up for 2 of their medication times and a second Dose Flip would be set up for their other 2 medication times. Each Dose Flip would need to be filled every week.
Each Dose Flip comes with a special key (torx wrench) and security screw that can be used to prevent the lid from being removed.
The Dose Flip also records data about tampering (e.g. lid taken off, flipped over, etc.). So if someone does gain access to the medications, it can be seen in the device’s history, or generate a notification to the specified party.
The device will need to be replaced. Call our support line at 844-300-6212, and we will be able to help you.
NOTE: As long as the Dose Flip remains plugged in and does not run out of battery, it will still work, even with the RTC error.
NOTE: If the device needs to be restarted, but the screen is white, follow these steps instead.
If the screen keeps showing “Restarting” or “Starting Up” follow these steps.
If these steps did not fix the issue, call our support line at 844-300-6212, and we will be able to help you.
This is usually caused by a power surge. To fix the issue, the device needs to be restarted.
