Section 1: Safety
Safety Alert Descriptions
The following is a list of Survivalink AED safety alerts that appear in this
section and throughout this manual. You must read, understand, and heed
these safety alerts before attempting to operate the Survivalink AED.
DANGER: Fire and Explosion Hazard
Exercise caution when operating the Survivalink AED close to
flammable gases (including concentrated oxygen) to avoid possible
explosion or fire hazard.
WARNING: Shock Hazard
Defibrillation shock current flowing through unwanted pathways is
potentially a serious electrical shock hazard. To avoid this hazard during
defibrillation abide by all of the following:
• Do not touch the patient, unless performance of CPR in indicated
• Do not touch metal objects in contact with the patient
• Keep defibrillation electrodes clear of other electrodes or metal parts in
contact with the patient
• Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before
defibrillation
WARNING: Shock and Possible Equipment Damage
Disconnect all non-defibrillator proof equipment from the patient before
defibrillation to prevent electrical shock and potential damage to the
equipment.
WARNING: Battery is Not Rechargeable
Do not attempt to recharge the battery. Any attempt to recharge the
battery may result in an explosion or fire hazard.
CAUTION: Possible Radio Frequency (RF) Susceptibility
RF susceptibility from cellular telephones, CB radios, and FM 2-way
radio may cause incorrect rhythm recognition and subsequent shock
advisory.
When attempting a rescue using the Survivalink AED, do not operate
wireless radiotelephones within 1 meter of the Survivalink AED—turn
power OFF to the radiotelephone and other like equipment near the
incident.

Section 1: Safety
Page 10 ©2002 Cardiac Science, Inc. 300282-002 Rev. E0
CAUTION: Moving the Patient During a Rescue
During a rescue attempt, excessive jostling or moving of the patient may
cause AEDs to improperly analyze the patient’s cardiac rhythm. Stop all
motion or vibration before attempting the rescue.
CAUTION: Use only Survivalink Approved Equipment
Using batteries, electrodes, cables, or optional equipment other than those
approved by Survivalink may cause the Survivalink AED to function
improperly during a rescue.
CAUTION: Serial Communications Cable
The Survivalink AED will not perform a rescue when a serial
communication cable is connected to its serial connector. The voice
prompt will say, “remove cable to continue rescue.”
CAUTION: Possible Interference With Implanted Pacemaker
The Survivalink AED may not advise a defibrillation shock when the
patient has an implanted pacemaker.1However, a defibrillation attempt
should be made if the patient:
• Is unconscious and
• Is not breathing and
• Has no pulse
Placing Electrodes:
• Do not place the electrodes directly over an implanted device
• Place the electrode pad at least one inch from any implanted device
CAUTION: Lithium Sulfer Dioxide Battery
Pressurized contents; never recharge, short circuit, puncture, deform, or
expose to temperatures above 65°C (149°F). Remove the battery when
discharged.
CAUTION: Battery Disposal
Recycle or dispose of the lithium battery in accordance with all federal,
state and local laws. To avoid fire and explosion hazard, do not burn or
incinerate the battery.

Section 1: Safety
CAUTION: Temperature/Humidity/Pressure Extremes
Exposing the Survivalink AED with the battery installed to extremes,
outside the following operation and standby conditions, will cause the
self-tests to be disabled and could cause the Survivalink AED to function
improperly. Storing the Survivalink AED outside the stated temperature
conditions for 5 consecutive days will result in a “Service required” alert.
• Temperature 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F)
• Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing)
• Pressure 57kPa (+15,000 ft) to 170kPa (-15,000 ft)

Symbols Descriptions
The following symbols may appear in this manual, on the Survivalink
AED, or on its optional components. Some of the symbols represent
standards and compliances associated with the Survivalink AED and its
use.
Dangerous Voltage: The defibrillator output has high voltage and can
present a shock hazard. Please read and understand all safety alerts in this
manual before attempting to operate the Survivalink AED.
Attention!: Identifies important information in this manual, on the
Survivalink AED, or on its component parts regarding the safe and proper
use of the Survivalink AED.
Defibrillator Proof Type BF Equipment: The Survivalink AED, when
connected to the patient’s chest by the electrodes, can withstand the
effects of an externally applied defibrillation shock without diverting the
