TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The HeartStart’s green Ready light is your guide to knowing if the defibrillator is
ready for use.
• If the Ready light is blinking: The HeartStart 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 HeartStart is in use or running a self-test.
• If the Ready light is off, the HeartStart is chirping, 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 but the HeartStart is not chirping and the i-button
is not flashing: there is no battery inserted, the battery is depleted, or the
defibrillator needs repair. Insert/replace battery and run the self-test. As
long as the HeartStart passes the self-test, you can be assured it is ready
for use.
