Installing the Battery
2-2 Preparing Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2 for Use
When the battery is installed, the HEARTSTREAM FR2 automatically turns on.
The Status Indicator displays a flashing black hourglass. The Shock button
light flashes once, and the indicator light for the defibrillation pads connector
port comes on.
The display screen brings up the main menu. From this menu, you can start
the FR2 battery insertion selftest, review information from the last time the
FR2 was used, or go to the next screen for other options. Information about
the optional data card and the battery status is also provided. (See Chapter 7,
Data Management and Review, for details about reviewing an incident and
using a data card.)
NOTE: This screen will not be displayed if the defibrillation pads are connected to
the FR2 when the battery is inserted, and you will not be able to access the menu
items. In addition, the battery insertion selftest and periodic automatic selftests cannot
run while the defibrillation pads are connected. Be sure to unplug the pads connector
from the FR2 after each use. Do not store the FR2 with the pads connected.
NOTE: To move around the menus displayed, use the Option buttons as follows:
• Press the LOWER Option button to move the highlight bar from one item to
another on the menu.
• Press the UPPER Option button to select the highlighted item or to scroll through
the settings for that item.
The menu displayed if you select NEXT lets you review the history of the
FR2, review the history of the battery being used, access setup data, set the
clock, or return to the first menu. (See Chapter 4, Troubleshooting, Testing,
and Maintaining Your H
EARTSTREAM FR2, for details about the review
options and Chapter 6, Setup and Advanced Mode Features, for information
on the setup option.)
NOTE: If you make no selection for 10 seconds, the selftest will automatically run.
If you want to select something different from either of these menus, you must do so
before the selftest begins, or remove and reinstall the battery to bring up the main
menu. You can press the On/Off button at any time to turn off the FR2 and return it to
standby (ready for use) mode.
