PRECAUTIONS
DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY
Observe all local laws for the disposal of
alkaline batteries.
WHEN NOT IN USE, REMOVE SENSOR BATTERY
Do not leave the battery in the sensor when it is not in
use. Damage from corrosion could result.
AVOID ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
For the best recording results, you should avoid close
proximity to heavy equipment or other sources of
electromagnetic interference such as electric blankets,
heating pads, water beds, etc.
POTENTIAL FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
There is a potential for electromagnetic interference to
other devices while using the CardioNet Service.
THE CARDIONET SYSTEM WITH IMPLANTED PACEMAKERS
AND ICDS (DEFIBRILLATORS)
If you have an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD),
the manufacturer may have recommended you take
certain precautions when using a cellular phone. Since
the CardioNet monitor contains a cellular phone, you
should take the same precautions when carrying and
using the monitor. In general, most manufacturers
recommend the following:
! Keep a distance of at least six inches (15 cm) between
the cellular phone and a pacemaker or defibrillator.
! Hold the cellular phone on the opposite side of the
body from the pacemaker or defibrillator.
! Don’t carry a cellular phone in a breast pocket or on a
belt if that would place the phone within six inches of
the pacemaker or defibrillator.
