SMARTGAUGE™ BATTERY STATUS INDICATOR
The SMARTGAUGE Battery Status Indicator has five (5) LEDs, four (4) green and one (1) red.
The right four green LEDs display the remaining capacity of the battery much like a fuel gauge.
With use, the green LEDs gradually go out, from right to left, as battery capacity decreases.
When the green LEDs go out and the red LED lights up, replace the battery.
Note: When the red LED initially lights up – upon lid opening or at any time during a rescue –
a “ BATTERY LOW” prompt will be issued at once. However, the AED is capable of delivering at least 9
more defibrillation shocks after the first “ BATTERY LOW” prompt is issued.
When the AED battery cannot deliver any more shocks, it continuously repeats the “ BATTERY LOW” voice
prompt. To continue the rescue, leave the lid open, remove the battery, and replace with a fresh battery. If
battery replacement takes longer than 60 seconds, the first rescue will be terminated and a second rescue will
begin upon opening the lid.
ELECTRODES INDICATOR
The ELECTRODES LED lights up when the electrodes are:
• Not properly connected to the AED
• Not within operational specifications (cold, dried, damaged). This feature applies to the
Responder AED only.
• Disconnected from the patient during a rescue.
