Introduction
If using standard QUIK-COMBO pacing/
defibrillation/ECG electrodes (PN 806086) with
the LIFEPAK 500 automated external defibrillator
(AED), use the QUIK-COMBO defibrillation cable
(PN 3011215) for additional length (see
Figure 1).

Important
Operators should be thoroughly familiar with the
LIFEPAK 500 AED Operating Instructions and
the QUIK-COMBO pacing/defibrillation/ECG
electrode Operating Instructions before using this
defibrillation cable.
Cable Attachment
A lanyard is provided to help prevent loss of the
defibrillation cable.
To attach the lanyard:
1 Loop the lanyard around the AED connector-
end of the cable (see Figure 2A).
2 Loop the lanyard around the handle of the
AED and feed the defibrillation cable through
the loop (see Figure 2B).
3 Insert the cable firmly into the AED until a
positive stop is felt (see Figure 3).

Figure 3 Inserting defibrillation cable into AED
Remove the defibrillation cable for data transfer
by pulling the connector straight out. Reconnect
the defibrillation cable to the AED after data
transfer, or close the protective cover on the AED
cable connector.
After using the defibrillation cable, always close
its protective cover.
Connecting to QUIK-COMBO pacing/
defibrillation/ECG electrodes
Properly connect the defibrillation cable to the
electrodes to help ensure energy delivery (see
Figure 4).
1 Open the protective cover on the defibrillation
cable connector.
2 Insert the QUIK-COMBO electrode connector
into the defibrillation cable connector by
aligning the arrows on the connectors and
pressing the connectors firmly together for
proper attachment.

CAUTION!
Possible equipment damage.
To prevent water or foreign substance
