Problem Possible SolutionsMonitor battery power drains quicklyEnsure battery is being fully recharged every day. A full recharge takes approximately 4 hours and will last 16 hours. Ensure the monitor is being placed in the base correctly. If the monitor does not make contact with the plug in the base, it may not recharge. Monitor screen is blankIt could be that the monitor is not turned on. Ensure the monitor is turned on by conrming that the LED light is ashing red or green. If the monitor is asleep, press the blue button. The screen should light up. If it doesn’t, the monitor may be low on power. Return the monitor to the base for recharging.Monitor beeps while you are in bed It is possible for your body to block communications between the sensor and monitor. This will cause warning beeps. To avoid beeps and maintain the communications link, place the sensor near the monitor on the bed next to you. Try not to lie on top of it or to get between the sensor and monitor while you are sleeping.Your phone line is busyWhen the monitor is in the base station and sending information it will use your telephone line. If someone calls you while the monitor is using the line, they will get a busy signal. If you try to place a call while the monitor is transmitting data, you will hear a high- pitched sound. This is the sound of monitor data being transmitted.Skin is irritated or reddenedIf you notice that the skin under or around your electrode pads is becoming sensitive, irritated or painful, or if you develop a rash, please call the CardioNet Patient Service Center immediately at 1-866-426-4401. Some people are sensitive or allergic to adhesives. CardioNet will send you another type of electrode pad.Sensor belt clip is difcult to put onIf you’re wearing a thicker belt and nding that it is difcult to slide on the Sensor Belt Clip, rst remove the CardioNet Sensor from the clip. Slide just the clip onto your belt and then reposition the sensor on the clip.54  TroubleshootingTroubleshooting5. T ROU BL E SHOO T I NG
PRECAUTIONSDISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLYObserve all local laws for the disposal of alkaline batteries.WHEN NOT IN USE, REMOVE SENSOR BATTERYDo not leave the battery in the sensor when it is not in use. AVOID ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCEFor 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 INTERFERENCEThere is a potential for electromagnetic interference to other devices while using the CardioNet Service.USE WITH IMPLANTED PACEMAKERS AND ICDs ( DEFIBRILLATORS)If you have an implanted pacemaker or debrillator (ICD), the manufacturer may have rec-ommended 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:• You should keep a distance of at least six inches (15 cm) between the cellular phone and a pacemaker or debrillator.• You should hold the cellular phone on the opposite side of the body from the pace-maker or debrillator.• 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 debrillator.• You should refer to the manufacturer’s information for guidance regarding your pace-maker or ICD and interference issues.Troubleshooting  55Precautions5.

CAUTIONSPOWER DOWN Monitor AND SENSOR BEFORE SHOWERINGPower down the monitor and remove the sensor before showering. The CardioNet sensor and monitor are water resistant, not waterproof. DO NOT GET THE Monitor AND SENSOR WETMake sure the monitor and sensor stay dry at all times.LIMITATIONS OF COVERAGECardioNet’s ability to obtain information regarding a cardiac event and to contact you or your physician in a timely manner is limited by a number of factors including:• Transmission of information about a cardiac event to CardioNet‘s Monitoring Center is potentially limited by the availability of standard telephone lines and/or cellular phone coverage.• There is an inherent time delay from the time that an event is detected to when the events are analyzed and conrmed by a Certied Cardiac Technician (CCT).• There is an inherent time delay from when the event is analyzed and conrmed by the CCT to when CardioNet is able to make contact with you or your physician.• If you or your physician are not accessible by telephone, CardioNet will not succeed in making contact with you or your physician56  TroubleshootingCautions5.
