If the patient's rhythm is shockable, the unit displays the SHOCK ADVISED and PRESS

the preconfigured energy level and the SHOCK button illuminates.
A continuous tone sounds for 20 or 50 seconds (depending on configuration), followed by a
higher pitch tone for 10 seconds.You must deliver the shock within this 30 or 60 second interval
(depending on configuration), or the defibrillator will disarm itself.
