Turn OFF the Alarms!

QUESTION: How can I turn off the alarms?  

A new user said he didn't need reminders, he just wanted a list of his medications (brand and generic names) for quick reference.

Well...  I NEVER mute my alarms – except for 2 or 3 hours at movies and plays,  OnTimeRx reminders are the main reason for using this app, but... people come up with lots of different ways to use any tool, and OnTimeRx can accomodate most of them quite nicely. 

911 Info (Read only) is a great way to store and display a Brand/generic Meds list.  Go to Settings and tap the Edit 911 button to enter or edit data.  

Copy your Meds list from a document or email and simply Paste it into 911
under Current Medications.  (This may take a try or two… Copy and Paste is a little tricky on some phones.) 

ANSWER:  To turn alarms OFF...
 
You can go into Settings and select Mute ON to silence all OnTimeRx alarms for 1 hour, 2 hours, or 3 hours.  Save the selection and the alarms will resume at the end of that time period.  We don't recommend turning off alarms permanently because it defeats the purpose of our app, but...

You can have “silence” another way… Go into each drug record and update your
Repeat setting to eliminate the alarms (or don’t set a Repeat on new drug records).

1.       Tap the Repeat button and tap Daily

2.       Scroll down and change it to None - tap Done. (With No Repeat, the checkmark
goes away).

3.       This also removes this drug and its reminder alarms from the PillTime schedule, but It will still be listed in MyMeds.

4.       You can also tap Repeat and set an End date - for today or yesterday.  The
drug will not be on PillTime but will still be listed on MyMeds.

5.       You can also tap Schedule and change from Routine to PRN – (the
drug will then be listed in regular font on MyMeds).

If you want to use the PillTime alarms in the future,  just reverse Step #2 and/or #4 in the process.
