How the System Works
Introduction
Welcome to Philips Telemonitoring Services. When you use this product, you’ll take a few minutes every day to
measure your weight, vital signs, and/or glucose. These measurements will help you and your healthcare provider make
better decisions about your care. You are providing information that can help improve you quality of life.
With this system, it’s easy to take your measurements from the comfort of you home. The measurements are sent over your phone line to your healthcare provider’s computer
Feel free to talk on you phone at any time -- the system is “smart” enough to know when the phone line is open. It will wait and then send the information after you hang up.
Introduction
Keeping the System Working
If at any time you suspect something is wrong with any of the devices, immediately contact your healthcare provider. Philips will replace any defective device. You can also cross-check your results with another device if additional measurement devices of the same type are available to you.
This Guide contains easy-to-follow steps for taking your measurements. It also shows you how to maintain the devices so that they will continue to take true readings.
Thank You! Thank you for taking an active role in your home healthcare plan. Philips
and your healthcare provider applaud your efforts to actively participate in you health care plan.

Home Hub/
TeleStation
Home Hub
You will have either a Home Hub or a TeleStation, depending on the home healthcare plan designed for you.
After you take a measurement, such as weight, the Home Hub/ TeleStation receives the result. It then sends the result to your healthcare provider’s computer when both telephone lines (yours and the computer’s) are free.
If you pick up your telephone while the Home Hub/TeleStation is dialing or sending the result, you will not hear a dial tone. Hang up the phone and wait for 5 seconds. Then make your call. The Home Hub/ TeleStation will send the result at a later time, when the phone line is open. Your healthcare provider will call you if your results are not received.
