2Preparing Your HeartStart FR2+ for Use

2

Overview

There are a few basic steps to preparing your HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator for use:

￿Install data card (optional).

￿Install a battery.

￿Set the clock in the FR2+ (optional).

￿Run the battery insertion selftest.

￿Place the FR2+ with recommended accessories in a convenient location.

The instructions presented here briefly describe the normal sequence of preparation. It assumes that you are using a fresh battery, that the selftest passes, that you are not using a data card, and that the factory default settings will not be changed. Exceptions to this sequence are provided elsewhere in this manual.

Installing the Battery

The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is shipped with a M3863A standard, long-life battery. The battery is enclosed in a gray plastic case. There is a yellow latch at one end that holds the battery in place when it is correctly installed in the FR2+. (The optional M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery is enclosed in a blue plastic case and also has a yellow latch. Except where otherwise noted, the following information applies to both battery types.)

Before installing the battery, make sure the defibrillator pads are not connected to the FR2+. To install the battery:

1.Hold the battery by the latch end and slide it into the battery compartment at the top of the FR2+.

2.Slide the battery all the way into the opening, until the latch clicks into place. The latch will click into place only when the battery is inserted correctly.

C A U T I O N : Follow all instructions supplied with the HeartStart M3863A standard battery. Install the battery before the install-by date shown on the battery.
