Warning
Use with Implanted Conventional
Pacemakers and ICDs (ICD device max
energy 30 Joules)
If you have an implanted pacemaker or ICD,
the manufacturer may recommend certain
precautions when using a cellular phone. Since
the ACT monitor is also a cellular phone, you
should take the same precautions when
carrying and using a cellular phone. 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 ICD.
Carry the cellular phone on the opposite
side of the body from the pacemaker or
ICD.
Don’t carry a cell phone in a breast pocket
or on a belt if that would place the phone
within six inches (15 cm) of the pacemaker
or ICD.
Refer to the manufacturer's information for
guidance regarding the pacemaker/ICD
and interference issues.
Portable RF communications equipment
(including peripherals such as antenna
cables and external antennas) should be
used no closer than 30 cm (12 inches) to
any part of the ACT system, including
cables specified by the manufacturer.
Otherwise, degradation of the performance
of this equipment could result.
