Function Response
1 Connect the external AC adapter to a working
AC outlet and to the Propaq MD rear panel. Verify that the green Auxiliary Power LED
illuminates on the Propaq MD front panel.
2 Insert a battery into the unit (if a battery is not
already in the slot). Verify that the Battery Charge LED on the
Propaq MD front panel illuminates yellow.
When the battery pack has been fully charged,
the battery status indicator light is green.
3 Press the unit's power on switch. Verify the unit issues two audio beeps and that
the red, yellow, and green Visual Alarm
indicators illuminate for 2 to 3 seconds.
Note: The yellow LED may remain lit after the
unit powers on.
The Propaq MD unit performs a number of
power on self tests.
Verify that the unit displays SELF TEST
PASSED.
If the message SELF TEST FAILED appears
on the display, contact the appropriate
technical personnel or the ZOLL Technical
Service Department.
4 Disconnect the external AC adapter from the
Propaq MD rear panel. Verify that the unit continues to operate without
interruption on battery power and that the
displayed battery icon indicates that a fully
charged battery is installed.
Verify that no error messages are displayed.

select Lead I, II, or III as the waveform display
source. Verify that a LEAD FAULT message displays in
the waveform window.

and connect the multifunction cable to the
unit. (Do not connect the test connector to the
