3.2 Connecting The Defibrillation Pads
The DDU-2000 Series AED defibrillation pads are supplied sealed in a package with the connector and part of the
cable exposed.
WARNING
DO NOT open the sealed pads package until the pads are to be
used. The packaging should be opened only immediately prior to use,
otherwise the pads may dry out and become non-functional.
Note: The DDU-2000 Series AED is designed to be stored with the pads connector already installed. This simplifies
the procedure for deploying and operating the device in an emergency.
First, check to ensure that the pads package has not expired. The expiration date is printed on the pad pouch and is
also reported on the AED status screen. Do not use pads past expiration date. Discard expired pads.
Insert the connector end of the defibrillation pad cable into the pads connector socket on
the top-left corner of the DDU-2000 Series AED as shown. Insert pads connector firmly
until it is fully seated in the unit. The connector will only fit in one way – if the connector
does not fit, rotate the connector before trying again.
The connected pads package should then be stored in the pad storage slot in the back
of the DDU-2000 Series AED. After connecting the pads connector to the unit, push the
pads package, rounded end first, with the pictures on the package facing out, into the pad
holder compartment on the back of the AED. When the pads package is fully inserted,
press the pad cable into the groove in the back of the unit to hold the cable in place and
tuck any excess cable behind the pads package.
WARNING
The pads are intended for one time use only and must be discarded
after use or if the package has been opened or damaged.
3.3 Installing And Removing The Battery Pack
The battery pack provides power to the DDU-2000 Series AED. Do not install the battery pack after the expiration
date printed on the label. The supplied battery pack is non-rechargeable (see Chapter 8 for information about
optional rechargeable battery packs).
Before inserting the battery pack into the DDU-2000 Series AED, ensure that
the battery pack opening in the back of the AED is clean and clear of any
foreign objects. Insert the battery pack into the opening in the back of the AED.
Push the pack all the way in until the latch clicks. The battery pack will only fit in
one way – if the battery pack does not fit, rotate the battery pack before trying
again. Once fully inserted, the battery pack surface should be flush with the
back of the AED.
Within moments of insertion the DDU-2000 Series AED will turn on and run
a battery pack insertion self-test.* When the test is completed, the unit will
report the status of the battery pack and shut down. Afterwards, the Active
Status Indicator (ASI), adjacent to the ON/OFF button of the DDU-2000 Series
AED, will periodically flash. If the indicator flashes green, the AED and battery
pack are ready for use. If the indicator flashes red, is solid red, or there is no
flashing light, the AED requires service. (Refer to the Section 3.4, “Checking The
DDU-2000 Series AED Status”, for more details on the meaning of the indicator.)
*Note: The battery pack must have been removed from the unit for at least 10 seconds for the battery pack self-test
to be performed automatically.
To remove the battery pack, push the battery pack eject release latch. After the battery pack is partially ejected, pull
the battery pack out.
