cause discomfort. Avoid theft detection devices at store and library exits. Avoid security
screeners at airports. Inform security personnel of your devices. They will assist you. Do not
stand near the screening equipment.
• Avoid areas with warning notices preventing entry by patients wearing a pacemaker. Ask your
doctor for more information.

not stand near these or similar devices.

the cord, which could cause a fall or strangulation.

Follow these precautions to maintain proper function of your Programmer and Stimulator.
•
Do not drop or mishandle your Programmer or Stimulator. Physical damage to the devices
may keep them from working properly.
