THE iPAD SP1
IN-USE QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
Lift the switch cover and set the
adult/child selection switch to match
the casualty. If the casualty is a
child, there is no need to use
different electrode pads.
If it is suspected the casualty is a
child aged between 1 and 8 years
old, the dual adult/child pads can be
used with the switch selection set to
the child mode.
Prepare the device:
6. "Tear open the pads packaging"
Press the green on/off button. The
voice prompts will start. Follow all
the voice prompts.
This will commence with a beep,
followed by:
1. "Call Emergency Medical
Services now".
2. "Plug the pads connector in
to the device" (pads are usually
pre-connected so may not
be heard)
3. "Adult mode" or "paediatric
mode" (this is confirmation of
switch selection)

trate where to stick the pads.
