Memory full warning

If the device plays the message 'memory
full', then the memory can record no
further ECG data or events. However,
the device can still analyse and deliver
a shock if required. If you hear this
message, contact HeartSine Technologies
technical support.

Audible warnings

If the device emits 3 beeps rapidly when
turned off, it has sensed that the ambient
temperature is outside of the specified
operating range. This beeping could
also occur during the weekly self-test.
If you hear this beeping, please ensure
the device is returned to the specified
operating conditions.
During use, if the status indicator changes
from green to red and the device starts to
'beep', there is insufficient battery capacity
to deliver a shock. The device will continue
to analyse the patient's heart rhythm and
advise when CPR is needed.
