AED modes
Operating mode
Defined as having the battery installed and the lid open. This 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. The 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 verifies the
impact of extreme environmental conditions on the AED. If the daily
self-test determines environmental conditions outside of the AED’s
operating 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.

history can be reviewed using the Rescuelink software.
This history includes:
◆Battery identification
◆Battery type
◆Original date of installation in an AED
◆Number of charges completed
◆Time in operation (hours:minutes)
◆Days of standby operation
◆Battery capacity remaining

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.
Battery operating life
The battery operating life depends on the type of battery, actual usage
and environmental factors.
A new battery provides:
◆A minimum of 14 hours (18 hours typical) of device operating
time at 20°C to 30°C ambient temperature with no shocks
delivered, OR
◆A minimum of 9 hours of device operating time at 0°C ambient
temperature with no shocks delivered, OR
◆A minimum of 9 hours of device operating time at 50°C ambient
temperature with no shocks delivered, OR
◆up to 290 shocks (typical)
Note: The battery operating life depends on the type of battery,
device settings, actual usage, and environmental factors. Battery was

Battery shelf life
The batteries have a 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 specific range (0-50°C) will
decrease battery life.

1. With the label on the
battery facing the AED
battery compartment,
insert the battery as shown
in the drawing.

battery firmly into the
AED, as shown in the
drawing, until the battery
snaps into place. The
exposed side of the battery
should be flush with the
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:
•The Smartgauge
battery indicator LEDs
illuminate

Defibrillation pads
The defibrillation pads come in a ready-to-use, sealed package
containing one pair of self-adhesive pads with an attached cable and
connector. The pads are disposable and should be discarded after each
rescue.
The pads have a limited shelf life and should not be used beyond the
expiration date. Keep a fresh, unopened pair of 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.

Powerheart® AED G3 Plus 9390A and 9390E 70-00915-01 F 2-9
Pad installation
To install the pads:
1. Open the lid of the AED.
2. Place the pad package into the lid so that the expiration label is
visible through the clear window on the lid. The expiration date of
the pads will then be readable without opening the lid of the AED.
3. Match the color of the connectors (red to red), then plug the pad
connector into the AED case as shown in the photograph.
Once the pad connector is plugged into AED, the PAD indicator
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
INDICATOR will be RED. Contact Cardiac Science Technical
