HEARTSTART FRx 861304 OWNER’S MANUAL
Troubleshooting tips
The FRx’s green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the
defibrillator is ready for use .
• If the Ready light is blinking: The FRx has passed the battery
insertion self-test and the last periodic self-test and is therefore
ready for use.
• If the Ready light is solid: The FRx is in use or running a self-test.
• If the Ready light is off, the FRx is chirping, and the i-button is
flashing: A self-test error has occurred, there is a problem with
the pads, the Infant/Child Key has been left installed, or the
battery power is low. Press the i-button for instructions.
• If the Ready light is off but the FRx is not chirping and the
i-button is not flashing: there is no battery inserte d, the battery is
depleted, or the defibrillator needs repair. Insert/replace battery
and run the self-test. As long as the FRx passes the self-test, you
can be assured it is ready for use.
