Abstract
A defibrillator having separable AED and manual modes of operation is provided. The user interface of the defibrillator comprises a set of AED buttons for implementing the AED personality of step 1, step 2, and step 3, along with the associated audio and visual prompts. In order to maintain the logical and physical separation of the AED and manual personalities, a manual access button is located underneath an access door on the top surface of the defibrillator. With the access door in the open position, the manual access button may be pressed to place the defibrillator in manual mode so that it may be operated according to the manual personality. Instructions for the operation of the defibrillator according to the manual personality may be provided on the underside of the access door to avoid confusion to the first responder who has no need to see these instructions.
