5 MAINTAINING THE HEARTSTART ONSITE
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The OnSite is very simple to maintain. The OnSite performs a self-test every day.
In addition, a battery insertion self-test is run whenever a battery is installed in the
device. The OnSite’s extensive automatic self-test features eliminate the need for
any manual calibration. The OnSite has no user-serviceable parts.
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Do not open the OnSite, remove its covers,
or attempt repair. There are no user-serviceable components in the OnSite. If
repair is required, return the OnSite to Philips for service.
REMINDERS:
• Do not leave the OnSite without a pads cartridge installed; the OnSite will
start chirping and the i-button will start flashing. For directions on changing
the pads cartridge, see Chapter 2, “Setting up the HeartStart OnSite.”
• The OnSite runs daily self-tests. As long as the green Ready light is blinking, it
is not necessary to test the OnSite by initiating a battery insertion self-test.
This uses battery power and risks draining the battery prematurely.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Other than the checks recommended after each use of the OnSite, maintenance is
limited to periodically checking the following:
• Check the green Ready light. If the green Ready light is not blinking, see
Troubleshooting Tips, below.
• Replace any used, damaged or expired supplies and accessories
• Check the outside of the OnSite. If you see cracks or other signs of
damage, contact Philips for technical support.
