Lifeaz AED Battery Installation Guide
Checking the Battery Type
When you receive your Lifeaz AED, the batteries will be in a separate pouch. There are two types of batteries:
- Pre-connected battery units
- Separate batteries requiring manual connection
Connecting the Batteries
For separate batteries:
- Open the packaging and remove the batteries.
- Identify the two wires – one for the AED connection and another to join the batteries.
- Push the battery connectors together until you hear a click.
- Gently pull to ensure a secure connection.
Installing the Batteries in the AED
Follow these steps to insert the batteries:
- Turn the AED upside down and locate the battery compartment.
- Use a screwdriver (crosshead or flat-bladed) to remove the four screws.
- Carefully lift the compartment cover and set it aside.
- Position the batteries inside the compartment, ensuring they fit correctly.
Connecting the Power Plug
The battery plug has two pins and a locking clip to ensure a secure connection. To connect:
- Align the plug with the connector inside the AED.
- Insert the plug firmly until it clicks into place.
- Ensure that cables are neatly positioned to avoid trapping them in the case.
Securing the Battery Cover
- Check that the blue seal around the compartment is clean and intact.
- Place the cover back and align it correctly.
- Ensure no cables are trapped before securing the cover.
- Use the screwdriver to tighten all screws securely.
Final Checks
To confirm successful installation:
- Run your finger around the cover to check for gaps.
- Take a photo of the installed batteries for reference.
- Use a label or permanent marker to record the installation date.
- Turn the AED on to verify the battery is functional.
Testing the AED
Turn the AED on and check for the power light indicator:
- If the unit powers on and gives voice prompts, the installation is successful.
- If there are error messages, refer to the troubleshooting guide.
Once verified, turn off the AED, close the lid, and it is now ready for use.
