AED modes
AED modes
Operating mode
Defined as having the battery installed and the lid open. This is the
mode the AED would be in during an actual rescue situation.
Standby mode
When the battery is installed, but the lid is closed. In this mode the
AED is not being used in a rescue. The device will conduct its routine
self-tests to ensure proper operation.
Storage mode
When the battery is removed, such as during shipping or transport.
With the battery removed, the AED is unable to perform self-tests or
rescues.
Environmental operating and standby conditions
See the Technical Data chapter in the Operator and Service Manual.
Caution: Temperature Extremes.
Exposing the AED to extreme environmental conditions outside of its
operating parameters may compromise the ability of the AED to
function properly. The Rescue Ready® daily self-test verifies the
impact of extreme environmental conditions on the AED. If the daily
self-test determines environmental conditions outside of the AED’s oper-
ating parameters, the Rescue Ready indicator could change to
red (not Rescue Ready) and the AED may issue a “SERVICE REQUIRED”
alert to prompt the user to move the AED to environmental
conditions within the acceptable operating parameters at once.
Shipping and transport conditions
For up to 1 week. See the Technical Data chapter in the Operator and
Service Manual.
