6. Maintenance

• Battery Care: Regularly charge the rechargeable lithium battery. If the device will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended to fully charge the battery and store the unit in a cool, dry place.
• Cleaning: Clean the trainer unit and electrode pads with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water. Ensure the unit is dry before storage.
• Storage: Store the AED trainer and all accessories in the provided storage bag to protect them from dust and damage. The electrode wires and pads can be stowed in the lid of the trainer unit, and the remote control can be stored in the bottom compartment.
• Electrode Pad Longevity: While reusable, the adhesive on the electrode pads may wear over time with repeated use. Replace pads if they no longer adhere properly to the manikin.

7. Troubleshooting

Issue: Difficulty removing electrode pad connector.

The connector for the electrode pads is designed to be secure. To properly remove it without causing damage, follow these steps:

Figure 7.1: Proper technique for disconnecting electrode pads.

1. Step 1: Lift the wired end of the connector with your right index finger.
2. Step 2: Push the wireless end of the connector with your right thumb.
3. Step 3: Pinch the middle of the connector and lift it straight up.

Issue: Trainer does not power on.

• Ensure the rechargeable lithium battery is properly inserted and charged.
• Verify the power adapter is functioning if attempting to power on while charging.
• Confirm the lid is fully opened, as this triggers automatic power-on. Alternatively, press the Power Button.

Issue: No voice prompts or low volume.

• Check the volume setting using the Sound Volume Button on the trainer or remote control.
• Ensure the device is powered on and a scenario is active.

Issue: Remote control not responding.

• Ensure the remote control has working batteries.
