Placing and Securing the HeartStart FR2+
Place the HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator in an accessible area with the Status Indicator easily visible. Useful accessories for placing and securing the FR2+ include a carrying case, which is suitable for use with a wall mount bracket or defibrillator cabinet. (See Appendix A for a list of accessories.)
N O T E : Do not store the FR2+ with the defibrillator pads attached. Do not open the pads package until ready for use.
With the battery installed and the FR2+ stored in appropriate environmental conditions, the FR2+ performs detailed periodic selftests to make sure that it remains ready for use. (See Appendix B for the environmental storage specifications.)
While the FR2+ is in the standby mode, the Status Indicator shows the flashing black hourglass unless the periodic selftests detect a problem. If a problem is detected, the Status Indicator will show a flashing red X or a solid red X and the FR2+ will beep (“chirp”) to alert you to the need for troubleshooting. (See Chapter 4, “Maintaining, Testing, and Troubleshooting Your HeartStart FR2+,” for instructions.)
