INSTALLING THE DATA CARD
The HeartStart FR2+ comes with a data card tray, which should be kept in the
data card port even if no data card is used. If a data card is to be used, install it as
follows:
1. Load the data card face up into the data card tray, with the tray’s “tongue”
fitting over the matching yellow area on the data card.
2. Press the On/Off button to turn off the HeartStart FR2+ if it is on.
3. Hold the loaded data card tray by its handle and gently insert the tray all the
way into the defibrillator’s data card port until only the tab remains outside
the case.
The data card will automatically record incident data the next time the
HeartStart FR2+ is turned on.
