2-20 LIFEPAK 20e Defibrillator/Monitor Operating Instructions
When alarms are on, you can silence them preemptively for up to 15 minutes.
To silence alarms preemptively:
1 Press ALARMS .
2 Select SUSPEND .
3 Select a silence duration of 2, 5, 10, or 15 minutes.
4 The message ALARMS SUSPENDED appears at the bottom of the screen.
CONNECTING TO POWER
The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor and the optional CodeManagement Module operate on
AC (line) power or their internal Lithium-ion batteries. You can switch from battery to AC power or
AC power to battery while the device is on and in use by plugging in or unplugging the AC power
cord.
When the CodeManagement Module is connected to the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator, one power
cord is used to power both the defibrillator and the CodeManagement Module.
IMPORTANT: The AC power cord is the safety disconnect mechanism. Maintain clear access
to all connections at all times.
AC Operation
When the LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor operates on AC power, the AC Mains LED
illuminates. When the defibrillator is not in use, the battery charge is best maintained if the power
cord is connected to an AC outlet and the defibrillator is turned off.
Note: When the CodeManagement Module is attached to the defibrillator, the green LED on
the CodeManagement Module and the AC Mains LED on the defibrillator are both illuminated
while the device is connected to AC power.
BATTERY OPERATION
The LIFEPAK 20e defibrillator/monitor and the CodeManagement Module each have an internal
battery. Battery operation for the defibrillator is explained below. Battery operation for the
CodeManagement Module is explained on
page 2-23 .
LIFEPAK 20e Defibrillator/Monitor Battery
The internal Lithium-ion battery is rechargeable and is intended for use when AC power is
unavailable or when the device is being used in a portable manner, such as in transport. The
defibrillator automatically switches to battery power when the power cord is disconnected from
an AC outlet or from the defibrillator.
WARNING!
Possible defibrillator shutdown.
When operating on battery power, adhere to battery maintenance and replacement intervals
discussed in the Battery Performance and Life section to prevent possible defibrillator shutdown.
If the defibrillator shuts down without warning, or if a LOW BATTERY: CONNECT TO AC
POWER
message appears on the monitor screen, immediately connect the AC power cord to an
outlet.
