An implantable cardiac stimulation device establishes communication with at least first and second external devices which communicate using first and second communication protocols, respectively, and wherein the first and second protocols are different. The implantable device includes a pulse generator configured to generate stimulation pulses and a telemetry circuit arranged to establish communication with the first and second external devices according to the first and second communication protocols, respectively. A control circuit coupled to the telemetry circuit and the pulse generator detects the first and second external devices based upon the protocol used in establishing communication to provide a first response when the first external device is detected and a second response when the second external device is detected.
