WARNING
POSSIBLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND INABILITY TO DELIVER THERAPY
To help protect the therapy cable connector from damage or contamination, keep
therapy cable connected to the defibrillator at all times. Inspect and test the therapy
cable daily according to the Operator’s Checklist in the back of this manual. Physio-
Control recommends replacement of therapy cables every three years to reduce the
possibility of failure during patient use.
1. Align the therapy cable connector with the
receptacle.
2. Slide the therapy cable until you feel the
connector lock in place. You will also hear a
“click.”
1. Press the release button on the therapy
cable connector.
2. Slide the therapy cable connector out.
