SIMPAD SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The SimPad System is an easy-to-use, wireless
tool that performs relevant medical simulation
training, including debrieng, in various user
settings. With its large, intuitive touch screen
design, SimPad is virtually a “Pick up and Play”
experience, allowing you to deliver simulation-
based education, easily and efciently.
There are two ways to control simulations:
Automatic Mode and Manual Mode. This
allows you to customize simulations to meet your
specic needs.
The SimPad System is compatible with a broad
range of Laerdal products including manikins,
patient simulators, and task trainers as well as
standardized patients.

1. CHARGE THE BATTERY
• Connect SimPad to one of the AC adapters and plug into a wall outlet.
The battery is fully charged when the LED on SimPad shows a steady yellow light.
• Connect the Li-Ion battery to one of the DC adapters and plug into a wall outlet.
The battery is fully charged when the LED on the battery shows a steady green light.
2. CONNECT LINK BOX TO THE MANIKIN
• Connect the manikin cable to the Link Box.
• If it is an older version manikin, use cable adapter included
in the package.
• Connect the BP tube (if applicable for this manikin) to the
BP tube input on the Link Box.
• Connect the Li-Ion battery to the Link Box. It is possible to
connect two batteries.
• If desirable, connect the DC adapter to the Link Box.
• Use the included manikin strap to attach the Link Box and

3.TURN ON LINK BOX AND SIMPAD
• Turn on both units by pressing the
ON button marked for at least
half a second.
• Release the button when the LED
starts blinking green. First start up
may take a few minutes.
• When the Link Box is ready, the
ON light will turn steady green.
• Follow the instructions on the
display to select language and other
preferences.
4. STARTING SIMPAD FOR THE FIRST TIME
The rst time SimPad is turned on, it will prompt for the following congurations:
• Select language
• Set time and date
• Enter SimPad name
• Enter Link Box name
All these congurations may be altered later.
5. CONNECTION BETWEEN SIMPAD AND LINK BOX
SimPad communicates with the Link Box using WiFi. When the units are turned on for the rst time
they will set up an ad hoc network called SimLink. If no other Link Boxes are visible on the default
SimLink network, the SimPad will pair with the Link Box, remember the pairing, and reconnect when
units are turned on again.
• Connection to SimPad is indicated on the Link Box with a blue light
in the WiFi LED.
• Connection to the Link Box is indicated in the upper right corner of
SimPad’s screen with a Manikin symbol.
6. CONNECTING A SIMULATED PATIENT MONITOR
• Ensure the monitor PC and the SimPad System are connected to
the same network. See “Connections” chapter for details on network
connections.
• Select the appropriate Link Box from the manikin connection menu.
• To minimize WiFi trafc, it is recommended to connect the patient
monitor to the Link Box using a direct network cable connection.
