Audible maintenance indicator
When the daily, weekly, or monthly self-test determines attention is
required, a beep sounds every 30 seconds until the lid is opened
or the battery power is depleted. Opening and closing the lid
may deactivate the beep. If the error is not corrected by the next
automatic self-test, the beep will be reactivated.
Because the beep is a general indicator that the AED is not Rescue
Ready, always open the lid first and allow the AED to perform its
self test. If the AED provides a voice prompt but does not change
the Rescue Ready indicator to green, note the prompt and contact
