The LIFEPAK CR–T AED Trainer provides the necessary interface for practical skill demonstration
during a simulated cardiac arrest. The Trainer is designed to assist the instructor with realistic training
on the use of the defibrillator without the actual charge and discharge of electrical energy.
The Trainer simulates voice prompts, audible tones, and readiness display features of all LIFEPAK CR
defibrillator models. These features help guide trainees through simulated analysis, simulated shock
delivery, and prompted CPR time.
An infrared, wireless, remote control allows the instructor to operate the Trainer during training sessions.
Labeled buttons on the remote control are used to define operating settings for training scenarios and,
while training is in progress, pause Trainer operation or interrupt preset training scenarios. Optional
operating settings offer flexibility and a variety of potential setup configurations.
The Trainer and remote control are intended for indoor use under normal room temperature and lighting
conditions.
Note: The Trainer does not provide training for the defibrillator data management functions.

Remote Control and Remote Control Cable
The remote control is stored in the remote control compartment (refer to page 4). The dual-function
keys are used to configure the Trainer operating settings prior to a training session and to alter
simulation during training scenarios. The remote control communicates with the Trainer through signals
to the infrared sensor located in the back of the Trainer.
The remote control cable, stored in the storage compartment (refer to pages 3 and 4), can be used as
an alternative to the infrared sensor. Refer to Section 2, beginning on page 9, for information about
connecting the remote control cable.

The following paragraphs provide the procedures for installing or replacing LIFEPAK CR–T AED Trainer
and remote control batteries.
Installing and Replacing Trainer Batteries
Four D-cell alkaline batteries provide power to the Trainer. The batteries are installed in a compartment
in the bottom of the Trainer. Fresh batteries provide approximately 100 hours of continuous Trainer
operation.
To install the batteries:
1 Verify that power to the Trainer has been turned off (using the

3 Remove the battery compartment cover by depressing both latches on the cover and lifting the
cover.
4 Insert four fresh, identical batteries, taking care to align the (+) and (-) terminals correctly. The
correct battery placement is shown in Figure 6.
5 Replace the cover and press down until you hear the latches snap into place.
MASTER POWER switch).
Note: Always replace all of the batteries at the same time. Always use four identical batteries.
Note: For permanent storage (longer than six months), remove the batteries from the battery
compartment. If the Trainer is used infrequently (approximately once every six months), the
batteries can remain in the battery compartment.
Installing and Replacing Remote Control Batteries
Two AAA alkaline batteries provide power to the remote control. The batteries are located in a
compartment on the bottom of the remote control. (See Figure 6.)
To replace the remote control batteries:
1 Turn the remote control upside down.
2 Open the battery compartment by sliding the battery compartment cover down with firm thumb
pressure.
3 Insert two fresh, identical batteries, taking care to align the (+) and (-) terminals correctly.
4 Replace the battery compartment cover, sliding it up until it snaps securely into place.

The LIFEPAK CR–T AED Trainer voice prompts provide the trainee with step-by-step instructions for
responding to training scenarios. For a complete list of voice prompts, refer to Appendix A.
USING THE REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control allows the instructor to:
•Preset operating settings in a setup configuration (refer to Section 3, beginning on page 15).
•Pause LIFEPAK CR–T AED Trainer operation.
•Interrupt preset routines with
BATTERY
.
•Select any one of the six available shock protocols.
The remote control communicates with the Trainer by using wireless infrared signals or the remote
control cable. The signal indicator acknowledges remote control signals received, both with and without
the remote control cable.
•One red flash indicates that a signal was received from the remote control and that the Trainer is
responding accordingly.
•Three red flashes indicate that an invalid remote control key was pressed and that Trainer operation
is unchanged.
•A continuous red light indicates that the Trainer is in pause mode.
To use the remote control without the cable, the instructor must stand behind the Trainer. During use,
the instructor must hold the remote control level rather than aiming it directly at the Trainer.
