6 First Steps
Where Do I Put the CardioMessenger?
Your CardioMessenger has a battery so you can take it along as needed during the
day.
However, it should be placed close to your bed at night for the nightly data transfer
from the device to the CardioMessenger.
The bedside table is therefore the best location for your CardioMessenger, as it
usually meets the following conditions:
• The CardioMessenger is placed on a solid base and cannot fall.
• The distance to the device is less than 2 m (6 feet), so that regular data trans-
mission from the device to the CardioMessenger at night is assured.
• On the bedside table, the icons on the CardioMessenger's display can be read
well so you can verify on a daily basis that it is ready for service.
However, if the bedside table is made of metal, you should not place the
CardioMessenger directly on the table. For example, place a stack of books to
establish a distance of approx. 5 cm between the two so that the metal does not
interfere with the device's data reception.
Please take the following also into consideration:
• Do not place the CardioMessenger next to a television set, microwave oven, or a
similar source of electromagnetic interference.
You may hear noises typical of cellular phones if you place the CardioMessenger
too close to a radio alarm or a television set, for example.
• Do not expose the CardioMessenger to temperatures exceeding 40°C (104°F).
Do not put it in places where it is subjected to direct sunlight and do not put it
directly under a halogen spotlight.
• Do not expose the CardioMessenger to temperatures below 0 C (32 F).
• Protect the CardioMessenger against water and high humidity.
Do not place it in the bathroom.
