Questions and Answers
7.
Q What happens if the battery is low when I begin a rescue?
A When the “Replace!” indicator is initially lit (when the lid is first opened or at any
time during a rescue), the Survivalink AED issues the
“
Battery Low
”
prompt
once
;
however, the Survivalink AED is still capable of delivering approximately 9 more
defibrillation shocks.
When the Survivalink AED is not capable of delivering any more shocks, it
contin-
uously repeats
the
“
Battery low
”
prompt. To continue the rescue attempt, leave the
lid open and replace the battery. You must install the replacement battery within 60
seconds to continue the current rescue. When battery replacement takes longer than
60 seconds or the lid is closed, the rescue sequence starts over.
8.
Q How do I set the Survivalink AED internal clock?
A Set the clock by using the RescueLink Software Program and a PC.
9.
Q What happens if I close the lid in the middle of a rescue attempt?
A If you close the lid during a rescue, you must re-open the lid within 15 seconds to
continue the rescue. If the lid remains closed for more than 15 seconds, a new res-
cue will initiate when the lid is re-opened.
Note: If the lid is closed during a rescue while the electrodes are connected to the patient, the
status indicator may turn RED. When the lid is re-opened, however, the rescue may be
continued even though the status indicator remains RED.
