You can perform cardioversion in Autogain mode. Always inspect the displayed
ECG before delivering the counter shock. Verify that an R-wave marker (indi-

appear, or if a marker dot is viewed on the T-wave segment of the ECG, follow
these instructions:
•Adjust the ECG size by pressing ECG Size until the marker dot appears only with
each R-wave.
•Adjust the placement of the multifunction defib electrodes to improve ECG
R-wave quality.
Press Charge on the front panel of the HP CodeMaster 100.
Wait for the Charge Done indicators.
Verify again that the ECG waveform is stable and that a marker dot appears
only with each R-wave of the cardiac cycle.
Depress both Shock buttons on the cable connector simultaneously until shock
occurs. The defibrillator will shock with the next detected R-wave.
