AED modes
AED modes
Operating mode
Defined as having the battery installed and the lid open. is is the
mode the AED would be in during an actual rescue situation.
Standby mode
When the battery is installed, but the lid is closed. In this mode the
AED is not being used in a rescue. e device will conduct its routine
self-tests to ensure proper operation.
Storage mode
When the battery is removed, such as during shipping or transport.
With the battery removed, the AED is unable to perform self-tests or
rescues.
Environmental operating and standby conditions
See the Technical Data chapter in the Operator and Service Manual.
Caution: Temperature Extremes.
Exposing the AED to extreme environmental conditions outside of its
operating parameters may compromise the ability of the AED to
function properly. The Rescue Ready® daily self-test veries the
impact of extreme environmental conditions on the AED. If the daily
self-test determines environmental conditions outside of the AED’s oper-
ating parameters, the Rescue Ready indicator could change to
red (not Rescue Ready) and the AED may issue a “SERVICE REQUIRED”
alert to prompt the user to move the AED to environmental
conditions within the acceptable operating parameters at once.
Shipping and transport conditions
For up to 1 week. See the Technical Data chapter in the Operator and
Service Manual.

Battery shelf life
e batteries have an shelf life of five years from the date of
manufacture. Shelf life is defined as the length of time a battery can be
stored at room temperature, prior to installation into AED, and still
meet the specifications under battery operating life.
Note: Storing the battery outside its specic range (0-50°C) will decrease
battery life.

outside of the AED case.
3. Wait a few seconds and
then open the lid for 5
seconds to initiate a self-
test.
If the battery is installed
properly:
• e Smartgauge
battery indicator LEDs illuminate.

Debrillation pads
e defibrillation pads come in a ready-to-use, sealed package
containing one pair of self-adhesive pads with an attached cable and
connector. e pads are disposable and should be discarded after each
rescue.
e pads have a limited shelf life and should not be used beyond the
expiration date. Keep a fresh, unopened pair of 9131 pads plugged into
the AED at all times. Refer to the pad package label for operation
temperatures.
An audible and visual alert will indicate after the self-test if the pads are
missing, unplugged, or damaged.
Note: Store pads at room temperature.
Caution: Use only Cardiac Science Approved Equipment.
Using batteries, pads, cables, or optional equipment other than those
approved by Cardiac Science may cause the AED to function
improperly during a rescue.
Caution: Possible Improper AED Performance.
Using pads that are damaged or expired may result in improper AED
performance.

should extinguish.
4. Tuck the excess cable length in the bottom holder. With the pad
package completely secured to the AED lid, close the lid.
5. Make sure the expiration date is visible through the clear window
of the lid and check to make sure that the STATUS INDICATOR
is GREEN. If the pads are not installed properly, the STATUS
