Troubleshooting and Maintenance
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 connected
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.
