3.2 Battery monitoring
• The lithium battery ensures that the device stays fully operative (and performs the
self-test) for several years (at a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C), provided
that the device is not being used.
• Battery service life depends on device use and ambient conditions.
The battery must be replaced once the expiration date has been exceeded.
The old battery must be recycled in accordance with local regulations.

Sufficient battery capacity
The main status LED (green) on the
FRED PA-1
®
is blinking when the battery capacity
is sufficient to perform the resuscitation protocol.
3.2.2
Low battery capacity indication
• Low battery capacity indication is the same during self-test, after the battery has
been inserted, and during use.
• Despite the low battery indication, the device can still be used as normal and is still
able to perform defibrillations.
• Always switch off the device before removing the battery.
• The remaining battery capacity depends on the use and ambient conditions.
