    USB cable or WiFi. No router is needed. When connecting SimPad to more than one manikin (up to 6), use a WiFi connection with a router. We recommend using the Laerdal Router as it simplifies the setup and improves stability.
  • Page 7: Connect To One Manikin Using Usb Cable

    Connect CONNECT TO ONE MANIKIN USING USB CABLE The USB cable provides the most reliable connection when connecting SimPad to one manikin. When using the USB cable, the manikin is powered by SimPad. To avoid a quick battery discharge when the manikin is powered by SimPad, we recommend you plug in the power adaptor.
  • Page 8: Select Manikins

    Connect SELECT MANIKINS If you start a session without having manikins connected, you are prompted to select manikin(s). In BLS Learner you can only select one manikin. This happens automatically if the manikin is connected through the USB cable, or if only one manikin is available. In BLS Instructor you can choose up to 6 manikins.
  • Page 9: Set Up And Select Network

    If you have selected more than one manikin (BLS Instructor), you are prompted to choose a network. The network enables communication between several manikins and SimPad. We recommend that you use the Laerdal Router (purchased separately) to establish the network.

    Connect Tap here to access the manikin selection and available networks. Number of manikins connected EDIT MANIKIN NAME The default manikin name is Resusci Anne or Resusci Baby. To keep track of multiple manikins, give each one a unique name. TIP: Switch on one manikin at the time and tap Edit name when the manikin appears on the screen.

For CPR sessions, select either single rescuer or two-rescuer. The difference between single rescuer and two-rescuer is in the scoring: participants in two-rescuer sessions are allowed less no-flow time than single rescuers are.
