The CardioMessenger and its components
are medical devices and therefore comply
with strict requirements for their develop-
ment, manufacture and testing.
Please observe the following safety
instructions, which are summarized below:
Warning!
Turn off the CardioMessenger
in locations where cell phones are
prohibited for safety reasons
(such
as in hospitals or airplanes).
Such areas can be identified by the following
or similar signs:
Warning!
To avoid interference, maintain
a minimum distance of 20 centimeters
(7 inches) between the CardioMessenger
and the device.
Like a cellular phone, the CardioMessenger
device can temporarily interfere with your
device if it is too close to it.
Warning!
Do not carry the CardioMessenger
inside the breast pocket of your shirt or
jacket, and do not place it directly on your
skin.
Warning!
According to government
regulations, the charging station of the
CardioMessenger may not be operated
within a distance of 1.5 m (5 feet) of a
patient in a hospital environment. At
home, this restriction does not apply.
