Battery is completely depleted—No AED function: All AED
activity stops until the battery is replaced with a fresh battery.
Q: How do I set the AED internal clock?
A: Set the clock by using the RescueLink Software Program and a
PC. See
Setting the AED Internal Clock
in Chapter 3.
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. You will hear the
prompt, “Open lid to Continue Rescue.” If the lid remains closed
for more than 15 seconds, a new rescue will initiate when the
lid is reopened.
Note:
If the lid is closed during a rescue while the pads are con-
nected to the patient, the STATUS INDICATOR remains GREEN.
When the lid is reopened, however, the STATUS INDICATOR will
turn RED and then back to GREEN. The rescue may be continued.
Q: My AED is sounding an audible alert. Why? How do I stop it?
A: The audible alert indicates that the self-test detected a need
for maintenance or corrective action. Open the device lid and
view the indicator on the diagnostic panel. Determine the
maintenance required by using the troubleshooting table on
page 5-3.
Q: The AED did not sound an audible alert when I removed the
pads and closed the lid. Why?
Note:
Ensure the battery is installed. The AED will never beep
while battery is removed.
A: The lid-closed pad self-test only activates the STATUS
INDICATOR. The AED allows time for replacement of the pads—
as removing pads is a normal procedure after a rescue—or a
battery during the post rescue procedure.
Q: What if I have to perform a rescue in an isolated area and at
subzero temperatures?
A: When travel to a rescue involves exposing the AED to
extremely cold temperatures for an extended period of time,
keep the pads and the battery warm.
