The CADEX watch has 12 daily alarms available. They are numbered 1 through 12. This numbering is for reference only. Alarm number 1 does not have to be the first alarm of the day and so on.

The watch allows up to 36 characters to be recorded in each Medication Alarm. If you take multiple medications at a given time, we recommend you abbreviate if necessary. You may also want to set alarms to remind you to perform a certain test daily, or to perform a specific exercise.

Tips: If you are normally away from home during the day, we recommend you make an alarm for the early part of the day that says "SETUP MEDS". You should set this alarm for the time that you are normally doing your morning routine (breakfast, coffee, etc.), this will remind you to get your medications together and into your pocket or purse so you will not forget them.

Activate Display

This watch contains an electronic master switch that will turn all alarms on or off. This switch can be used to save battery life if the watch is not to be used for an extended length of time, or to quiet the watch during sensitive occasions.

How to set the Master Switch:

1) Select the ACTIVATE mode by pressing the MODE button (repeatedly if necessary). When the watch displays "ACTIVATE" you are in the correct mode. Press the FORWARD or REVERSE buttons to toggle between "YES" and "NO". NOTE: "YES" MEANS ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALY ENABLED ALARMS WILL FUNCTION. "NO" MEANS ALL OF THE INDIVIDUALLY ENABLED ALARMS WILL NOT FUNCTION, HOWEVER THEY ARE ALL RETAINED IN MEMORY. WHENEVER YOU TAKE YOUR WATCH OUT OF STORAGE, BE SURE TO SET THE ACTIVATE SWITCH TO "YES".

Alarm Signaling

When one of the medication alarms "goes off". The watch will begin to beep continuously for one minute and the name of the medication will scroll across the face of the watch. This continuous beeping can be turned off by pressing either of the FORWARD or REVERSE buttons. The watch will enter REMINDER MODE. In this mode, the name of the medication will continue to scroll across the face of the watch, and 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 while on your way to get your medications. This REMINDER MODE can be turned off by pressing either of the FORWARD or REVERSE buttons. We recommend that you only do this after you have taken your medication.

If there are multiple alarms existing in REMINDER MODE, each alarm entry will scroll across the face of the watch in turn. A medication alarm may be dumped from the REMINDER MODE by pressing either of the FORWARD or REVERSE buttons while that medication alarm is on the display. Multiple alarms in reminder mode may cause the watch to do its reminder beep more often than every three minutes.

Alert Button

All of the Medication Alarms and Data Items stored in the 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 charge card entry. This is for your protection. If you need to view this item, do it through the Databank setting procedure.

Erasing 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 or alert name with this "space" character. Or simply overwrite the current information with a new information.

The other way you can erase information is to press and hold all four buttons until the watch display goes blank. Release the buttons and the watch will beep. This method will erase ALL information from your watch, and you will need to reprogram your medications and alert information.

How to Change the Battery in your Cadex Watch

Use a CR2032 Lithium Button Cell, found at most department stores and drug stores.
You will need a very small Phillips head screwdriver.
Turn the watch over so the backside is facing up. The word ìCadexî engraved on the backing plate should read correctly.
Remove the four screws from the backing plate of the watch. Place the backing plate to the side.
Observe the inside of the watch. There will be a circular sticker on the battery holder. This sticker is crucial for the watch to function properly. Notice that there is a brass spring sticking up to the right of the battery. The sticker should not be covering this (on some models, the sticker has a hole in it to accommodate for the spring). There should also be a small metal ìfingerî on the battery holder to the upper left. This finger also needs to be exposed. The inside of the watch must look like this after the battery has been replaced.
The sticker can be left on the battery holder while changing the battery. Simply remove the two tiny screws that secure the battery holder. Now the battery holder (with sticker on it) can be picked up, so the battery can be removed.
Install the new battery, making sure the battery information and the ì+î sign are facing up.
Replace battery holder exactly as you found it.
IMPORTANT: If you remove the sticker, be sure to replace it properly. Make sure the brass spring is not covered by the circular sticker. If it is, tuck the edge of the sticker down between the battery and the brass spring. Make sure the metal ìfingerî to the upper left is not covered by the sticker. Please read # 5 above before replacing the backing plate.
Replace backing plate so that the word ìCadexî on the back reads correctly (i.e., not upside down). If it is upside down, the alarm will not make the beeping sound.
