PHILIPS MEDICAL SYSTEMS
CLEANING
Make sure a battery is installed when cleaning the FR3, to keep fluids out of the device. The system
case, if used, and the outside of the FR3, including the pads connector socket, can be cleaned with a
soft cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol (70% solution in water), ammonia-based cleaners, mild soap
and water, or sodium hypochlorite (chlorine bleach 3% solution in water). Do not use abrasive
materials, cleaners, strong solvents such as acetone or acetone-based cleaners, or enzymatic cleaners.
CAUTION: Do not immerse any portion of the FR3 in water or other fluids. Do not allow fluids to
enter the FR3. Avoid spilling any fluids on the FR3 or accessories. Spilling fluids into the FR3 may
damage it or present a fire or shock hazard. Do not sterilize the FR3 or its accessories.
TROUBLESHOOTING
INDICATORS
The green Ready light is the signal that tells you if the FR3 is ready for use. Alert chirps tell you if the
FR3 needs attention.
RECOMMENDED ACTION IN AN EMERGENCY
If the green Ready light is flashing, press the On/Off button to turn on the FR3 and then follow all voice
and text prompts. If the green Ready light is off and the FR3 is chirping, the FR3 may still be able to be
used to treat a victim of SCA. Press the On/Off button and then follow all voice and text prompts.
In the unlikely event that the device becomes unresponsive during use, press the On/Off button once,
wait one second, then press it again firmly. If this does not clear the problem, remove and reinstall the
battery or replace it with a new FR3 battery, if available. If this still does not clear the problem, do not
use the FR3.
INDICATOR MEANING
Ready light flashing The FR3 has passed the user-initiated test or its most recent self-test and is therefore
ready for use.
Ready light steady The FR3 is in use or is conducting a self-test.
Ready light off, FR3
chirping
If the FR3 is giving triple chirps, contact Philips at www.philips.com/AEDSupport for
technical support.
If the FR3 is giving single chirps, press the On/Off button to start the FR3. When voice
prompts begin, press the button again to display the status screen for information
about the status of the FR3 and how to resolve the problem. If you cannot resolve the
problem, or if it recurs, contact Philips at www.philips.com/AEDSupport for technical
support.
Ready light off, FR3
not chirping, screen
blank
The battery is depleted or missing, or the FR3 needs repair. Insert or replace a
battery. The FR3 automatically runs a power-on self-test. If the green Ready light
starts flashing, the FR3 has passed the self-test and is therefore ready for use.
