3.4 Installing And Removing The Battery Pack
The battery pack provides power to the DDU-2000 Series AED. Do not install the battery pack after the expiration
date printed on the label. The battery pack is non-rechargeable.
Before inserting the battery pack into the DDU-2000 Series AED, ensure that
the battery pack opening in the back of the AED is clean and clear of any
foreign objects. Insert the battery pack into the opening in the back of the AED.
Push the pack all the way in until the latch clicks. The battery pack will only fit in
one way – if the battery pack does not fit, rotate the battery pack before trying
again. Once fully inserted, the battery pack surface should be flush with the
back of the AED.
Within moments of insertion the DDU-2000 Series AED will turn on and run a
battery pack insertion self-test.* When the test is completed, the unit will report
the status of the battery pack and shut down. Afterwards, the Active Status
Indicator (ASI), adjacent to the ON/OFF button of the DDU-2000 Series AED,
will periodically flash. If the indicator flashes green, the AED and battery pack
are ready for use. If the indicator flashes red, is solid red, or there is no flashing
light, the AED requires service. (Refer to the “Checking The DDU-2000 Series
AED Status” section below for more details on the meaning of the indicator.)
*Note: The battery pack must be removed from the unit for more than 10 seconds for the battery pack self-test to
be performed automatically.
To remove the battery pack, push the battery pack eject release latch. After the battery pack is partially ejected, pull
the battery pack out.
3.5 Checking The DDU-2000 Series AED Status
Active Status Indicator (ASI)
Once a fully functional battery pack is installed in the DDU-2000 Series AED, an LED indicator located to the right
of the ON/OFF button actively indicates unit status. If the unit is ready for use, the Active Status Indicator (ASI) will
flash green. Ready for use means that the DDU-2000 Series has passed the most recent self-test (scheduled or
user initiated). If the unit needs service, the ASI will flash red. Anytime the ASI flashes red, the unit will also “beep”
periodically to call attention to itself. The ASI also uses a distinct flash pattern to assist people with color blindness:
green will flash a single flash and red will flash a double flash.
The ASI is powered by the battery pack. If the battery pack has been completely discharged or is not installed in the
unit, the active status indication will be off. In this case, immediately replace the battery pack or reinsert it into the
unit to restore active status indication.
