Troubleshooting Guide
Status indicator summary
NOTE: Perform CPR (if needed) any time there is a delay before the FR2+
can be used.
Recommended action during an emergency
If the status indicator displays the flashing black hourglass, follow all voice
and screen prompts.
The HeartStart FR2+ Defibrillator is designed to continue working even if the
status indicator displays a flashing red X, although the device may not
perform to all of its specifications. Voice and text prompts should be followed
whenever they are given. If for any reason you cannot hear voice prompts
during use of the defibrillator, periodically check the device screen for text
prompts.
NOTE: After completing emergency use of the FR2+, if you are unable to
clear the problem as described in this Troubleshooting section, and the
Status Indicator does not show the flashing black hourglass, contact Philips
Medical Systems for technical support.
In the unlikely event that the device becomes unresponsive during use:
1. cycle power (press the On/Off button once, wait one second, then press
it again), or
2. remove and reinstall the battery (use a new M3863A FR2 standard
battery, if available, or a charged M3848A FR2+ rechargeable battery).
