The unit emits a four-beep tone indicating successful completion of the power-on self-test.
The ECG source is PADS, and ECG size is X1. “DEFIB 120J SEL,” and DEFIB PAD
SHORT appear on the display. The ECG trace appears as a solid line while the OneStep
cable is connected to either the Test Port or OneStep electrodes.
3. Press the ENERGY SELECT buttons to set the energy to 30 joules.
4. Press the CHARGE button on the front panel.
5. When the charge-ready tone sounds, press the ENERGY SELECT buttons to set the energy
to 20 joules.
The defibrillator will disarm itself.
6. Press the ENERGY SELECT buttons to reset the energy to 30 joules
