Switching from AED to Manual Mode
If the front console door is closed, you can enter manual mode by pressing the Manual button located
in the lower left corner of the door. This opens the door and automatically takes the defibrillator out of
AED mode, allowing you to access manual mode defibrillation and pacing.
Note: Closing the door again will not place the defibrillator in AED mode. Pressing Analyze while
the defibrillator is in manual mode will place the defibrillator in AED mode.
If the door is not installed, or to manually switch to manual mode, press one of the following keys:
ENERGY SELECT, CHARGE, PACER, LEAD.
