e Base Transmits Events Using your Home TelephoneWhen your CardioNet monitor is in the base, it uses your home telephone system for communications with the CardioNet Monitoring Center. When you are away from home – or whenever your CardioNet monitor is out of the base station – the monitor uses cell phone technology to contact the CardioNet Monitoring Center and transmit data. You do not need a cell phone. The monitor uses its own cell phone.As with consumer cellular phones, calls can sometimes be delayed or blocked by coverage problems, heavy trafc on cell phone networks, or physical obstructions such as buildings or mountains.If the CardioNet monitor has data to transmit and is unable to communicate with the CardioNet Monitoring Center through cellular communications, the monitor will store the data and transmit it when cell coverage becomes available or through your home telephone system when the monitor is placed in the base. If you pick up your telephone while the monitor is in the base and transmitting data, you will hear static, like the sound a fax machine makes. Hang up the phone and wait a few minutes while the data is sent and then you will get a dial tone. If you must use your phone and the monitor is transmitting data, take the monitor out of the base and make your call. When you are done with the call, however, you should return your monitor to the base right away to complete the transmission. If you are on the phone and the monitor wants to transmit data, you might hear clicking sounds. If you are using a dial-up connection to access the Internet on the same phone line as the base, and the monitor is in the base transmitting data, it may disconnect you from the Internet. Hang up and the monitor will transmit the data. When the monitor is in the base and transmitting data, your telephone line will have a busy signal for incoming calls. You will not be charged for any calls your monitor makes to CardioNet.14  Getting Startede Base Recharges your MonitorThe base functions as a recharging station for your CardioNet monitor. When you insert the monitor into the base correctly, “Monitor is Charging” will appear on the screen. The monitor’s rechargeable battery provides between 12 to 16 hours of use. If you plan to be away from home for more than 12 hours, you should bring one of the black power cords with you. At some point during the day, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet and charge your monitor by inserting the other end of the power cord into the hole on the side of the monitor.

18  Getting StartedHow the Electrodes WorkThe CardioNet sensor uses three electrode pads, carefully placed on your body to detect heartbeats by sensing electrical changes on the surface of your skin. The electrode pads are attached to three leads - a white lead, a black lead and a red lead. The leads can be snapped on and off the electrodes. This allows you to take off the leads and sensor before showering – without removing the electrode pads. It is very important that you follow the instructions in Chapter 4: Changing Your Electrodes. By following these instructions carefully you are providing CardioNet with a clear reading of your heartbeats while maintaining the health of your skin.If You Experience Skin IrritationIf you experience skin irritation or a rash or at any time you experience discomfort wearing the electrodes, please contact CardioNet at 1-866-426-4401.Tips for Wearing the CardioNet Sensor2 .
