Figure 11 Place the Pads
Details
If the pads are properly placed, the defibrillator will prompt “Beep Beep” and
the Pads Attachment Indicator will stop flashing and the device will get into
rhythm analysis.
Otherwise, the device will prompt “Pad must not be touching clothing or each
other, make sure the liner is completely removed from both pads, make sure
pad connector is plugged into the AED”. At this time, please replace the pads:
⚫
If pads are replaced correctly, the voice prompt will stop repeating, and the
device will get into rhythm analysis.
⚫
If the pads are not placed properly until timeout, the device will turn off.
