CLEANING THE ONSITE
The outside of the OnSite and its carry case can be cleaned with a soft cloth
dampened in soapy water, chlorine bleach (2 tablespoons per quart or liter of
water), or ammonia-based cleaners.
REMINDERS:
• Do not use isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, strong solvents such as acetone or
acetone-based cleaners, abrasive materials, or enzymatic cleaners to clean
your OnSite.
• Do not immerse the OnSite in fluids or allow fluids to spill onto it.
• Do not sterilize the OnSite or its accessories.
DISPOSING OF THE ONSITE
The OnSite and its accessories should be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
READY LIGHT TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The OnSite’s green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the defibrillator is
ready for use.
• If the Ready light is blinking: The OnSite has passed the battery
insertion self-test and the last periodic self-test and is therefore ready
for use.
• If the Ready light is solid: The OnSite is in use or running a self-test.
• If the Ready light is off, the OnSite is emitting a series of single chirps,
and the i-button is flashing: A self-test error has occurred, there is a
problem with the pads or the battery power is low. Press the i-button
for instructions.
• If the Ready light is off, and the OnSite is emitting a series of triple
chirps, please call Philips for technical support. See “Troubleshooting a
chirping HeartStart” on page 5-3 for more information.
• If the Ready light is off but the OnSite is not chirping and the i-button is
not flashing: there is no battery inserted, the battery is depleted, or the
OnSite needs repair. Insert/replace battery and run the self-test. As
long as the OnSite passes the self-test, you can be assured it is ready
for use.
