Connect To One Manikin Using USB Cable
The USB cable provides the most reliable connection when connecting SimPad to one
manikin.When using the USB cable, the manikin is powered by SimPad. Use the power
adaptor to avoid quick battery discharge when the manikin is powered by SimPad.
Connect To One Manikin Using WiFi
For wireless use, make sure the manikin is in WiFi mode, indicated by the green WiFi
symbol on the manikin’s control panel. Use the toggle button to select between cable,
WiFi or Bluetooth mode.

Connecting Multiple Manikins
In BLS Instructor Mode multiple manikins can be connected.When operating multiple
manikins (2-6) it is recommended to use a router (Multi Manikin Router).
Note
In BLS Learner mode only one manikin can be selected.This happens automatically if the
manikin is connected through the USB cable, or if only one manikin is available.
Multi Manikin Router Setup
It is recommended to use the Laerdal Router (purchased separately) to establish network.
Start up the router completely (approx. 2 minutes) before starting up SimPad and manikins.
Note
Do not reset or change the router (i.e. password, configuration etc).

AP, not Client)

Power connector
To power the router, use the
included USB power supply (5V)*
To reboot, disconnect the
power supply for at least
30 seconds, then reconnect.
Edit Manikin Name
When using manikin for the first time, it will have a default name (e.g Resusci Anne
QCPR).To keep track of multiple manikins, label each with a unique name.This name will
be used to identify the manikin in the BLS Instructor Mode.

• Monitor CPR feedback on up to 6 manikins
• Register events with a single manikin
• Control and monitor AED (Automated External Defibrillator) training (single manikin)
• Monitor and debrief on CPR-D/ShockLink training (single manikin)

Problem Solution
Manikin is not connecting.
It might take up to 15 seconds to
identify the manikin. If it does not
appear on the list, try the following
solutions.
• Ensure the manikin is switched on and in WiFi
mode, indicated by the green WiFi symbol on
the control panel on the manikin.
• It may be connected to a network other than
SimPad.To make it available for selection,
press and hold the manikin’s toggle button.
After two seconds a beep confirms that the
manikin is reset.
Connection problems may occur in
areas with a high WiFi traffic.
• To avoid high traffic WiFi-channels, log on to
the LaerdalNetMobile router to change to a
low-traffic WiFi channel.
• A “How to change the router channel” guide
is available from the SimPad SkillReporter
product page.
www.laerdal.com/SimPad-SkillReporter
• The most reliable connection for single
manikin use is the USB cable. A cable
connected manikin appears in the manikin list
as preselected and connected.
