When your defibrillator encounters an error, it will not be ready for use. If your device is beeping, showing a red light or cross, it requires attention to return it to its optimum working condition.
We've put together troubleshooting FAQs for your reference. If you require further assistance, please refer to your defibrillator manual or get in touch with our Customer Service team on 0161 776 7422.
The Ready Light is Flashing
The ready light flashing highlights different issues for each defibrillator. Refer to your defibrillator's manual and perform a manual self-test. After completing the self-test the defibrillator will verbally diagnose the issue and provide instructions to rectify.
My Defibrillator is Beeping
When a defibrillator beeps, it requires attention as one of the device's components has caused the device to fail its standard self-test. Refer to your defibrillator's manual and perform a manual test; this informs you of expired accessories or whether there's a specific error code.

What Checks Should I be Doing?
Defibrillators are equipped with the technology to perform regular self-tests to ensure the device is ready for use. The only checks you need to perform are weekly visual tests to ensure the readiness indicator is displaying a 'ready' status.

Can I Place My Defibrillator Outdoors for Public Use?
