5.2.1 Checking Active Status Indicator
The Active Status Indicator (“ASI”) is located in the upper corner of the DDU-100 AED and
indicates the operational readiness state of the unit. It will periodically flash green to indicate
a fully functional condition. If it is flashing red or not flashing at all, the AED needs attention.
Anytime the ASI is flashing red and a good 9V battery is installed, the unit will periodically emit a
“beep” to call attention to itself.
If the ASI is not flashing at all, the most likely cause is that the ASI 9V battery needs to be replaced.

battery. Once the battery has been replaced with a fresh battery, the ASI should once again flash
green. If it does not, the battery pack may be defective. In that event, the battery pack should
be replaced. If it still does not flash after inserting a new battery pack, the DDU-100 AED is non-
operational and needs servicing.
If the ASI is flashing red, turn the DDU-100 AED on. If the unit does not turn on or does not speak,
the AED is non-operational and requires servicing. If the unit does turn on, the voice prompts will
indicate the nature of the problem.
