Use this Analyzer only in the manner specified by the
manufacturer or the protection provided may be
impaired.
•
Do not use the product if it operates abnormally.
•
Remove all test leads and disconnect the battery
eliminator before replacing the battery.
•
Do not use the product around explosive gases or in
wet or dusty environments.
•
Inspect the defibrillator daily. Examine the paddles,
lead wires, and power cord for cracks and frays.
•
If the defibrillator is line powered, be sure that it is
plugged into a grounded receptacle. Do not touch the
electrical contact surfaces of the defibrillator paddles.
•
Grip one paddle handle firmly in each hand. Apply to
the Analyzer plates. Keep the paddles firmly depressed

the defibrillator paddles are being pressed onto the
plates. Do not use any electrical paste or pads when
testing a defibrillator with the Analyzer.
