MAINTAINING THE HEARTSTART

HOW TO CHECK THAT IT'S READY
FOR USE
Check the HeartStart regularly to be sure
the green Ready light is blinking. You can
see the Ready light through the window in
the red carry case. With the battery
installed, the HeartStart tests itself every
day. As long as the green Ready light is
blinking, you can be confident that the
defibrillator has passed its latest self-test
and is ready for use.

WHAT TO DO WHEN IT CHIRPS

Your HeartStart tests itself daily, weekly,
and monthly so you can be sure it is ready
to use in an emergency. Any time the
HeartStart chirps, it is telling you
something is wrong. The green Ready light
will be off, which means you need to take
action so that the HeartStart will be ready
to save a life.
