Counting and dispensing techniques
1
To count, dispense pills onto the tray in a scattering motion.
Tip
Heaping or clustering the pills
will slow down the counting
process. If the pills form a cluster, press the shake button.
The shaking intensity varies
between different pill sizes.
2
Caution
Do not dispense the pills into a
single heap or tight cluster. For
best results avoid exceeding a
quantity of 100. Smaller pills can
be counted in larger quantities.
For inventory counts use the
batching feature.
Use the front tray handle to lift the tray up and down, and tap to assure pills spread away from each other.
Tip
Tapping the tray is required to assure optimum accuracy. Perform
this step even when a count result is displayed. If tapping the tray,
or shaking, does not produce a count result, you may have too
many pills on the surface of the tray
3
If more pills were dispensed onto the tray than needed, use the spatula to place the excess quantity into one of the
dispensing tubes.
