connect to the Home Monitoring system through an active telephone<br />
link<br />
• The CardioMessenger cannot establish a connection to the<br />
implanted device<br />

patient <strong>and</strong>⁄or caregiver to follow the system instructions <strong>and</strong> cooperate<br />

<strong>of</strong> physical or mental challenges, another adult who can follow the<br />
instructions will be necessary for proper transmission.<br />

(transmitter⁄receiver) should not be utilized in areas where cellular<br />
phones are restricted or prohibited (i.e., commercial aircraft).
