Frequently Asked Questions
The CardioMessenger can be comfortably attached to
your belt and transported with and without the pro-
vided belt carrying case. You can also use a carrying
strap. Additional information can be found in the
”Accessories” section on page 18.
You can also carry it in a normal bag or a backpack.
Please always remember that the distance between
the implant and CardioMessenger should not be less
than 20 centimeters (7 inches).
What should I do when I want to travel?
Consult your physician beforehand and inform him or
her of your travel plans. You can take the Cardio-
Messenger everywhere and plug it in wherever there
is suitable supply voltage of 100 - 240 Volts at
50 - 60 Hz. You might need a country-specific adapter.
A suitable cellular network is required for the Home
Monitoring function. Ask your travel agent about the
cellular networks in the country where you’ll be going.
While en route to your destination, you must follow the
instructions of the carrier, i.e., you will need to turn off
the CardioMessenger when on an airplane.
