9. Hold down both shock paddle buttons until a shock has been released. By
pressing the buttons a confirmative tone sounds.
10. If the shock has been released successfully, the message Shock
performed is shown.
11. The message Shock not recommended indicates that the defibrillation
cannot be performed and that the buttons at the shock paddles are locked.

13. To start the ECG analysis, press the Analyse key or one of the buttons at
the shock paddles again.
The CPR rhythm can be supported acoustically by activating the metronome via
the softkey [Metronome].
The selected energy level is available for 30 seconds after charging. If no shock
is triggered within this time span, the device discharges itself internally.
For safety reasons, when using shock paddles, the keys Charge and Shock on
the monitoring unit are blocked. The charging and release of the defibrillation
shock can only be triggered via the shock paddle buttons.
To pause the charging process, simultaneously press both shock paddle
buttons briefly. To continue the charging process, briefly press one of the shock
paddle buttons.
Energy selection can be performed by connecting both electrode surfaces of the
shock paddles (short-circuiting). To decrease the energy, briefly press the
APEX shock paddle button. To increase the energy, briefly press the
STERNUM shock paddle button.
