In the unlikely event that the device becomes unresponsive during use:
1. cycle power (press the On/Off button once, wait one second, then press it
again), or
2. remove and reinstall the battery (use a new FR2 standard battery, if
available, or a charged FR2+ rechargeable battery).
If neither of these actions clears the problem, do not use the FR2+. Attend to
the patient, providing CPR if needed, until emergency medical personnel arrive.
NOTE:Perform CPR (if needed) any time there is a delay before or an
interruption in use of the FR2+.
