Getting Started
AED indicators
The following indicators are located on the AED.
Rescue Ready status indicator
The status indicator is located on the Powerheart G3 AED handle.
When this indicator is green, the AED is Rescue
Ready. This means the AED self-tests have
verified the following:
◆ Battery has an adequate charge
◆ Pads are properly connected to the AED and
functioning
◆ Integrity of the internal circuitry is good
When the status indicator is red, attention is
required.
1. Open the lid of the AED to troubleshoot the
issue.
2. The AED may become Rescue Ready (the
indicator turns green) after it runs further
tests.
3. If the indicator remains red, contact Cardiac Science Technical
Support (see Contact information on page 1-2) or outside the U.S.,
your local Cardiac Science representative.
Note: When the status indicator shows not Rescue Ready (the
indicator is red) you might hear an intermittent beep. See Audible
maintenance indicator for troubleshooting information.
Audible maintenance indicator
When the daily, weekly, or monthly self-test determines attention is
required, a beep sounds every 30 seconds until the lid is opened or the
battery power is depleted. Opening and closing the lid may deactivate
the beep. If the error is not corrected by the next automatic self-test,
the beep will be reactivated.
Because the beep is a general indicator that the AED is not Rescue
Ready, always open the lid first and allow the AED to perform its self
test. If the AED provides a voice prompt but does not change the
Rescue Ready indicator to green, note the prompt and contact Cardiac
