The HeartStart FRx Quick Reference Guide is a compact, easy-to-follow instruction card designed to accompany your Philips HeartStart FRx AED. This quick guide outlines the essential steps and critical safety procedures in a simple 1–2–3 format, helping users act quickly and confidently during emergencies. It reinforces the voice prompts and visual cues found on the FRx unit, making it ideal for first responders, security personnel, or any lay user who must act under pressure.

Printed on durable, laminated cardstock or similar high-quality material, the Quick Reference Guide is designed to remain legible in demanding conditions—indoors, outdoors, or in low-light environments. It includes clear, illustrated diagrams, icon-based guidance, and a breakdown of the most crucial steps: turning the device on, applying pads, and delivering a shock if needed. This guide is typically stored in the carry case’s transparent window or clipped near the AED for immediate access.

Because it is intended as a visual aid, the Quick Reference Guide complements the full Owner’s Manual rather than replacing it. While the Owner’s Manual covers in-depth usage, maintenance, and technical details, this guide focuses on rapid, lifesaving actions in critical moments. For training, deployment planning, or AED program setups, many organizations keep extra copies of the guide near each AED station to reinforce readiness.

The product is sold as a replacement card (part number 989803138601) for the FRx kits, and is compatible across FRx units. It is lightweight, easy to distribute, and ideal for enhancing AED accessibility and user training in schools, workplaces, public spaces, and medical facilities.

Because it forms part of the FRx’s recommended accessory set, the Quick Reference Guide helps close the gap between training and real-world action—ensuring users have both verbal cues (from the device) and visual reinforcement when seconds count.
