Monitor

battery

power drains

quickly

Ensure 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

It 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 busy

When 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

reddened

If 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.
