The waveform appears through the ECG adapters and Analyzer front
panel paddles and is available to trigger an automatic defibrillator to

4. Set the range switch appropriately, as follows:
• Select the 1000 joule high range (1000 J) for defibrillator outputs
over 100 joules or for an unknown defibrillator output power.
• Select the 100 joule low range (100 J) for outputs under 100 joules.
5. Simultaneously press the two defibrillator paddles onto the contact
electrode plates on the front of the Analyzer. See Figure 2-5.
