The LIFEPAK 500 AED conducts automatic tests to detect problems that may
affect AED performance.
Power-On Self-Test Whenever the AED is turned off for at least 60 seconds and then turned on, the
AED performs a cold start. During the cold start, the AED performs self-tests of
the internal electrical components and circuits to ensure that they are working
properly. During the Power-On Self-Test, the AED displays the following
messages:
Note: The
BATTERY OK message may not appear every time the unit is powered
on. If the AED does not indicate a low or replace battery condition, the battery is
fit for use. The AED displays the
LOW BATTERY message when the battery will pro-
vide at least 11 shocks for a nonrechargeable lithium battery, or at least 6 shocks
for a rechargeable battery. The AED displays the
REPLACE BATTERY message when
the battery will provide 3 or fewer shocks.
