CONNECTING AT HOME
To connect the CardioNet base, find an electrical outlet
and phone jack in a central location, preferably in your
bedroom. As long as you are within range of the
CardioNet monitor, your CardioNet sensor can continue
sending heartbeats to the monitor. If you go out of range,
the sensor beeps to alert you.
When you go to any area in your house where your sensor
is out of communications range with your monitor, simply
take the CardioNet monitor out of the recharging base
and bring it with you.
In larger houses, a second base station is often used so
that you can stay within range without carrying your
monitor around.
At night, keep the CardioNet monitor in the recharging
base near your bed. If you sleep on your stomach, your
body may block communications between the monitor
and the sensor and you may need to put the sensor next
to your pillow. Whenever possible keep the monitor in
the base. It takes around four hours in the base station to
completely recharge the monitor battery.
