a prompt to press the SHOCK button has been given but 
the SHOCK button is not pressed within 15 seconds. The 
device will discharge through its internal circuit. 

ECG MONITORING MODE 

Text 
This indicates that the custom designed ECG MONITORING 
CABLE AND CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY is attached to the 
ECG-DEFIB port. In this mode, the Paramedic CU-ER1 can 
do only acquisition and display of ECG. It does not analyze 
the ECG for a shockable rhythm and it can not deliver a 
defibrillating shock.
