Troubleshooting Guide
The HEARTSTREAM FR2 has several ways of communicating with you if it
detects a problem during use. Depending on the nature of the problem, the
FR2 will use audible beeps, voice prompts, screen prompts, and/or its Status
Indicator.
The following tables describe FR2 responses to problems that may occur
during use, and provide recommendations for how to resolve them. Although
there is some overlap in the information presented, for ease of reference the
tables separately address the following types of issues:
Status Indicator Summary — a basic overview of FR2 usability based on
the states shown by the Status Indicator
Status Indicator Details — possible causes of various Status Indicator
signals and recommended actions
Battery — possible battery-related problems and recommended actions
Defibrillation Pads — possible defibrillation pads problems and
recommended actions
Analysis and Defibrillation — possible problems with rhythm analysis
and defibrillation and recommended actions
It is important to read this information carefully, so you can act quickly in an
emergency.
