PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
AUTOMATIC USER-INITIATED TEST
The first time you set up the FR3, the FR3 automatically runs a detailed user-initiated test as soon as
the battery is in place. This test is designed to make sure the device and all connected accessories are
ready for use. The first part of the test is interactive. Follow the prompts to press the buttons as
instructed, or the test will fail. Then listen for two audio tones. If you do not hear the tones, there is a
problem with the speaker or the beeper. Contact Philips at www.philips.com/AEDSupport for
technical support. The second part of the test is automatic. The FR3 displays a progress bar indicating
the test’s progress.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not remove the battery during the user-initiated test. To abort the test,
press the On/Off button to turn off the device.
NOTE: Do not connect or disconnect any accessories, such as the pads or Infant/Child Key, during
the user-initiated test.
When the test is complete, the FR3 displays the results of the test, the device serial number, and the
software revision, then displays the ADMINISTRATION screen. If for any reason the test fails, contact
Philips at www.philips.com/AEDSupport for technical support.
Press the On/Off button to display the status screen and put the defibrillator into standby. If the FR3
passes the test, the green Ready light flashes to show the FR3 is ready for use. If the FR3 or any
connected accessory fails the test for any reason, the screen displays information about the failure.
PLACING AND SECURING THE FR3
Place the FR3 in an accessible area where the green Ready light is easily visible and the FR3 alert chirps
can be heard. Philips recommends that the defibrillator and pads be secured in a protective carry case,
such as the FR3 rigid system case, soft system case, or small soft case.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To ensure that the FR3 is ready for use when needed, store it with the battery
installed and the SMART Pads III connected and installed in the Pads Sentry. Do not remove the battery
unless the FR3 self-tests indicate that it should be replaced.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
To use the FR3 in an emergency:
1. TURN ON THE FR3. Press the green On/Off button.
NOTE: If you store the defibrillator in a HeartStart FR3 rigid system case, the FR3 automatically
turns on when you open the case lid. If for any reason the FR3 does not turn on automatically, or if
you do not use an FR3 case, press the green On/Off button to turn on the FR3.
2. FOLLOW THE VOICE AND TEXT PROMPTS. The FR3 will direct you in each step of using it to
treat a suspected victim of SCA. Place the pads as illustrated on page 1 of this manual. If the victim
is under 55 lbs (25 kg) or 8 years old, insert the Infant/Child Key, if available, in the FR3 before
placing the pads.
