▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service until you have 
read the Fully Automatic AED Plus Operator’s and Administrator’s Guides.
▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service if the unit’s 
status indicator window (located on the left side of the handle) displays a red “X”. 
▲DO NOT use or place the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service if the unit emits 
a beeping tone. 
▲Connect the electrode cable to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit after installing 
batteries.
▲Keep the electrode cable connected to the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit at all 
times. 
▲This device should only be used by properly trained individuals. 
▲Only use electrodes labeled “Infant/Child” on children less than 8 years old or

or weighs more than 55 lbs (25 kg).
 if patient is older than 8 years 
▲Always stand clear of patient when delivering treatment. Defibrillation energy 
delivered to the patient may be conducted through the patient’s body and cause a 
lethal shock to those touching the patient. 
▲DO NOT touch the electrode surfaces, the patient, or any conductive material 
touching the patient during ECG analysis or defibrillation. 
▲Move patient away from electrically conductive surfaces prior to use of equipment. 
▲DO NOT use the unit near or within puddles of water. 
▲Keep the patient as motionless as possible during ECG analysis. 
▲DO NOT use the unit near flammable agents, such as gasoline, oxygen-rich 
atmospheres, or flammable anesthetics. 
▲Avoid radio frequency interference from high-power sources that might cause the 
defibrillator to interpret cardiac rhythms incorrectly by turning off cell phones and 
2-way radios.
▲Disconnect non-defibrillation protected electronic devices or equipment from 
patient before defibrillation.
▲Dry victim’s chest, if wet, before attaching electrodes. 
▲Apply freshly opened and undamaged electrodes, within the electrode expiration 
date, to clean and dry skin to minimize burning.
▲DO NOT place electrodes directly over the patient’s implanted pacemaker. 
Pacemaker stimuli may degrade the accuracy of ECG rhythm analyses or the 
pacemaker may be damaged by defibrillator discharges. 
▲Check labeling inside the ZOLL
Passive Airway Support System (PASS) device to ensure it is intended for this 
use.

▲DO NOT use the Passive Airway Support System (PASS) if there is a suspected 
head or neck injury. Place the patient on a firm surface before performing CPR.
▲DO NOT recharge, disassemble, or dispose of batteries in fire. Batteries may 
explode if mistreated.
▲DO NOT use or stack the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit with other equipment. If 
the unit is used or stacked with other equipment, verify proper operation prior to 
use.
 Caution!
▲DO NOT disassemble the unit. A shock hazard exists. Refer all servicing to 
qualified personnel. 
▲Use only commercially available type 123A lithium manganese dioxide batteries. 
Discard batteries properly after removal from unit. Use only batteries from 
recommended manufacturers. See the Fully Automatic AED Plus Administrator’s 
Guide (P/N 9650-0311-01) for a list of recommended battery manufacturers.
▲If the device is stored outside the recommended environmental conditions, the 
electrode pads and/or batteries may be damaged or their useful life reduced. 
▲The CPR-D-padz Electrode can be connected to other ZOLL defibrillators with 
Multifunction Cables. Defibrillation can be administered when connected to other 
ZOLL defibrillators.The CPR function does not operate with any device other than 
the AED Plus defibrillator.
1. Insert 10 new batteries into the Fully Automatic AED Plus unit.
2. Connect electrode cable to Fully Automatic AED Plus unit and pack sealed 
electrodes inside unit cover. Close cover. 
3.  Turn unit on and wait for “Unit OK” audio message. Verify that unit issues 
appropriate “Adult Pads” or “Pediatric Pads” audio message.
4. Turn unit off.
5. Wait 2 minutes. Verify that green check symbol ( ) appears in status indicator 
window (located on left side of handle) and that unit does not emit a beeping 
tone. 
6. Place Fully Automatic AED Plus unit in service. 
7. Check Fully Automatic AED Plus unit periodically to ensure that green check 
symbol ( ) appears in status indicator window.
Battery Replacement
Replace batteries every 5 years or if unit prompts. Use only type 123A lithium 
manganese dioxide batteries from recommended manufacturers. 
■ Remove all batteries from battery compartment and discard before installing any 
new batteries. 
■ Insert 10 new batteries into battery well. Do not use old batteries. 
■ Press button in battery well only after installation of new batteries. 
Cleaning
■ Clean and disinfect unit with soft, damp cloth using 90% isopropyl alcohol or soap 
and water, or chlorine bleach (30 ml/liter water). 
■ Do not immerse any part of the unit in water.
■ Do not use ketones (MEK, acetone, etc.).
■ Avoid using abrasives (e.g., paper towels) on the LCD display, if so equipped.
■ Do not sterilize the unit.

INDICATIONS FOR USE
Use the AED when a suspected cardiac arrest victim has an apparent 
LACK OF CIRCULATION indicated by:
■ Unconsciousness and
■ Absence of normal breathing and 
■ Absence of a pulse or signs of circulation.
When a victim is less than 8 years of age, or weighs less than 55 lbs 
(25 kg), the Fully Automatic AED Plus should be used with AED Plus 
Pediatric Electrodes. Therapy should not be delayed to determine the 
patient’s exact age or weight.
CONTRAINDICATIONS FOR USE INTENDED USER
Do NOT use when a patient:
■ Is conscious; or
■ Is breathing; or
■ Has a detectable pulse or other signs of circulation.
The ZOLL AED Plus Fully Automatic external defibrillator is intended to be 
used by responders who have been trained and certified in CPR and the 
use of an AED to defibrillate victims of cardiac arrest. The CPR monitoring 
function provides a metronome designed to encourage rescuers to 
perform chest compressions at the AHA recommended rate of 100 
compressions per minute. Voice and visual prompts encourage a 
minimum compression depth of 2 inches for adult patients. The CPR 
monitoring function is not intended for use on patients under 8 years 
of age.
