Warnings and cautions
Caution: Possible Improper AED Performance
Using pads that are damaged or expired may result in improper AED
performance.
Caution: Serial Communication Cable
The AED will not function during a rescue when the serial
communication cable is connected to its serial port. When the serial
communication cable is connected to the AED during a rescue, the
prompt "Remove cable to continue rescue" will be heard until you
remove the serial communication cable from the AED.
Caution: Possible Radio Frequency (RF) Susceptibility
RF susceptibility from cellular phones, CB radios, FM 2-way radios and

do not operate wireless radiotelephones within 1 meter of the AED –
turn power OFF to the radiotelephone and other like equipment near
the incident.
Caution: Possible Interference with Implanted Pacemaker
Therapy should not be delayed for patients with implanted
