Setting Up the AED

Installing the Battery

The battery is supplied separately and must be installed before use. To do this:

1. Locate the battery compartment at the top rear of the unit.
2. Align the connectors on the battery with the contacts on the device.
3. Slide the battery into place and push until you hear a click.
4. Make a note of the installation date using a permanent marker or label printer.

Tip: Take a photo of the serial number and manufacturer details on the back for future reference or for registering the AED on national databases such as The Circuit.

Initial Self-Test

After battery installation, the AED will automatically perform a self-test. This will confirm that the device is functioning correctly. You’ll see indicator lights and hear an automated voice prompt guiding you through the process.

Buttons and Controls

• On/Off Button – Located at the top of the device.
• Information (“i”) Button – Press to provide paramedics with data such as the number of shocks delivered.
• Adult/Child Mode Switch – Switch between modes easily using the button on top.

Note: The same pads are used for both adult and child mode; placement instructions differ and are clearly printed on the pads.

Pad Storage and Expiry

The electrode pads are pre-connected and stored within the unit. Always check the expiry date and set a reminder to replace them before they expire. If you're registering the AED on The Circuit or a similar system, make sure you enter the expiry dates to receive automated alerts.

Clear, Simple User Guidance

The iPAD NFK AED uses a straightforward three-step process:

1. Turn the unit on – Marked clearly as step 1 on the case.
2. Attach the pads – Pads are labelled as step 2 with visual placement instructions.
