Using External Paddles
To perform the Shift/System Check using external paddles:
1. Turn the Heartstream XL off.
2. If routinely used, insert a Data Card into the Heartstream XL.
3. Unplug the AC power cord.
4. Insert a charged battery.
5. While pressing , turn the Energy Select knob to Manual On
to start the test.
127( If the paddles are in the holders and the message "Place Paddles in Pockets"
appears, adjust the paddles to improve contact. Poor contact may be due to
due to clinical use (e.g. oxidation or residue on either the connectors or pad-
dles). If the message continues to appear, contact a certified technician.
6. Follow the prompts on the display to proceed with the test. If the
message 6HUYLFH8QLW appears, do not use the device, and call for service.
The test takes less than a minute to complete. When it is done, a report
is printed, as shown in Figure 11-1.
