General Maintenance

The following paragraphs contain routine maintenance procedures that can be performed either by an experienced operator or a technician.

Operation from AC or DC Power Source

To operate from ac power, plug the ac power cord of the instrument into three—pin, grounded, ac power source. Do not use a free—ground adapter. The defibrillator/monitor operates on ac power whenever it is plugged in as described and the ON LED is on (the rear panel ac mains power switch must be on). Whenever ac power is connected, the Battery Pack is being recharged as indicated by the BATT CHRG message in the lower left corner of the monitor display.

To operate the instrument from the internal dc Battery Pack, disconnect the ac power cord from the ac power source and make sure the front panel power switch is pressed on.
