Recommended action during an emergency

If the status indicator displays the flashing black hourglass, follow all voice and screen prompts.

The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is designed to continue working even if the status indicator displays a flashing red X, although the device may not perform to all of its specifications. Voice and text prompts should be followed whenever they are given. If for any reason you cannot hear voice prompts during use of the defibrillator, periodically check the device screen for text prompts.

N O T E : After completing emergency use of the FR2+, if you are unable to clear the problem as described in this Troubleshooting section, and the Status Indicator does not show the flashing black hourglass, contact Philips Medical Systems for technical support.

In the unlikely event that the device becomes unresponsive during use:

1.cycle power (press the On/Off button once, wait one second, then press it again), or

2.remove and reinstall the battery (use a new M3863A FR2 standard battery, if available, or a charged M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery).
