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.

2 Readiness displayThis display simulates whether the defibrillator is ready for use or needs
attention. The remote control and CHARGE-PAK activate the following
indicators:
OK
OK indicator. Simulates that the defibrillator is ready for use.
CHARGE-PAK indicator. Simulates that the CHARGE-PAK
needs to be replaced or is not installed.
Attention indicator. Simulates that the internal battery of the
defibrillator is low.
Wrench indicator. Simulates that there is a condition that
prevents or could prevent normal operation of the defibrillator.
Service is required.

scenarios. When the lid is closed, the Trainer simulates the defibrillator
in OFF status.

defibrillator semiautomatic model. (The trainee cannot deliver a
simulated shock unless a Trainer voice prompt instructs them to do so.)
When training simulates the defibrillator automatic model, cover this
button with the yellow shock button cover.

functional—simulated connection/disconnection is initiated by means of
the remote control.

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.
Figure 5 shows the remote control and remote control cable with the features identified in Tab l e 5 .
Remote control button functions are described in Section 2, beginning on page 10.
