button, the Communicator checks to make sure that
the interrogation is permitted. You should only use the
Heart button if it is flashing or when instructed to do
so by your health care provider.
If you press the Heart button by mistake (not intending
to perform an interrogation), press and hold the Heart
button again for at least 5 seconds to cancel the
interrogation. The Collecting Waves may light yellow
and show progress while the interrogation is being
cancelled.
When using the heart button, you should stay close
to the Communicator during the entire interrogation
process to ensure optimum communication between
your implanted device and the Communicator.
If a manual interrogation is not permitted, either
because the limit has been reached or because the
feature is disabled, the Communicator automatically
calls the LATITUDE system. This is done to check
for a change in the number of manual interrogations
allowed or to check if this feature has been re-
enabled.
CAUTIONS:
• normal use of the lATiTUDE system has been
accounted for in the projected battery life of your
implanted device. Using the Heart button more
often than when the Heart button flashes or
more often than instructed by your health care
provider may lead to a decrease in the battery
life of your implanted device.
• If you feel unwell or are in need of urgent health
care, call your health care provider or dial 911.
