The CardioMessenger is intended primarily for contin-
uous operation at home because it receives information
from your implanted device once daily, usually at night,
and forwards it to the BIOTRONIK Service Center.
Make a habit of charging the CardioMessenger at night so
that it can be used in mobile operation during the day.
Fully charged, you can use the CardioMessenger while
mobile for up to 48 hours, but note the following:
Protect the CardioMessenger from direct contact with

water. For example, wear it under your coat or keep it
in a bag when it rains.
Do not carry the CardioMessenger inside the breast

pocket of your shirt or jacket as the distance from here
to the implanted device could be less than 15 cm.
To prevent skin irritations, do not carry the Cardio-

Messenger directly on your skin.
Do not bring the CardioMessenger into the vicinity of

fire.
Do not expose the CardioMessenger to temperatures

below negative 5°C (23°F).
Battery longevity for the CardioMessenger may
decrease at lower temperatures.
Do not turn on the CardioMessenger if it has recently

been in a cold environment. Let it warm up slowly to
room temperature, since the resulting condensed
water may harm the electronic circuitry.
