CONTROL BUTTONS The AED has two buttons. SHOCK BUTTON The SHOCK button is located at the far right of the control panel. Delivers a defibrillation shock. The word SHOCK and the shock button indicator LED will illuminate RED when the AED is ready to deliver a defibrillation shock to the patient. Note modification to behavior below when in manual mode. -
Page 22: Section 3: Maintenance & Troubleshooting
These self-tests eliminate the need for in depth periodic / annual maintenance testing. The comprehensive self-tests insure that the Responder AED Pro is RescueReady®, with minimal user involvement and maintenance costs. Once a month during the daily self-tests, the AED performs a full charge of the capacitors. During this test the AED monitors the charge time, voltage level and proper discharge function. -
