Introduction

This manual is intended to help you use the Medtronic CareLink Monitor Model 2490C (“monitor”)

If you have any questions that are not answered by this manual, or if you have any problems with the monitor, talk to your doctor. Your doctor knows your medical history and can give you the help you need.

About your monitor

The Medtronic CareLink Monitor Model 2490C is designed to automatically gather information from your implanted heart device. This automatic wireless communication between your heart device and the monitor takes place at times scheduled by your doctor or clinic.

Sending heart device information to your clinic using wireless technology does not require you to interact with your monitor. The process is silent and invisible. Clinics typically schedule the automatic process to occur while you sleep.

The gathered heart device information is sent over a telephone line to your clinic using a toll-free number. For

this reason, the monitor must always be plugged into a telephone wall jack and a power outlet.

The monitor can also send wireless heart device alerts to your clinic automatically. The information sent to your clinic helps your doctor manage your care.

Your phone will be busy while the monitor is sending information. See “Sending information with your monitor” on page 19.

The monitor is intended specifically for your use only. It will not work with other implanted devices and should be used only by you as directed by your doctor.

Sending information at the request of your doctor or clinic

You will sometimes need to send information at times other than those scheduled by your doctor or clinic. These times are:

• when completing first-time setup, to allow automatic

wireless communication between your monitor and your heart device

• at the request of your doctor or clinic

See “Sending information with your monitor” on page 19.

where you sleep, preferably on a night stand or a table.

• Place the monitor within reach of a telephone wall

jack.

Setting up your monitor

Before you use your monitor, you will need to:

1. Check the telephone line settings on the monitor.

2. Connect the monitor to a telephone wall jack.

3. Plug the monitor into a power outlet.

You may connect a telephone to the monitor to make and receive telephone calls, but this is not required for the monitor to work correctly. For more information see, “Connecting the monitor to a telephone wall jack and power outlet” on page 16.

Note: The monitor will not work with mobile phones.

Checking the telephone line settings

Before using the monitor, make sure that the telephone line settings are correct. There are two telephone line settings on the monitor, N-7-8-9 and T-P. See Figure 1.

14 Setting up your monitor

Figure 1: Telephone line settings N-7-8-9 –

This setting is used if the number 7, 8, or 9 needs to be dialed to reach an outside telephone line. N means no number needs to be dialed and is the most common setting for home use.

Select the setting that is appropriate for the telephone line you will be using. If you are staying in a hotel, you may have to set the switch to 7, 8, or 9 to get an outside line.

T-P – This setting is used to select a tone (T) or pulse (P)

telephone line. T is the most common setting.

Select the setting that is appropriate for the telephone line that you will be using. Telephone line settings may be selected when the monitor is plugged in.

If you have questions about the telephone line, contact your local telephone carrier or hotel front desk.
