7. Defibrillator Testing:
A discharge test can be triggered to check the defibrillator discharge circuit. For this test the stored
energy is discharged into the Responder 2000 via two contacts in the paddle cradle.
WARNING: Equipment Damage
Do not trigger more than five (5) consecutive test discharges (or internal safety discharges) within thirty
(30) minutes.

Verify the delivered energy is not more than ±15% or
±4 joules (whichever is greater) from the selected
value.
If the Responder 2000 is unable to
charge to the selected energy so the
selected energy or the stored energy
differs, contact Customer Service.
