In case of a heart attack emergency, call 911, begin CPR, and send someone for a defibrillator.
In the event of an emergency, the defibrillator will provide loud automated instructions in English. It also provides visual cues with illustrations. AEDs are "automated" and designed to sense cardiac arrest. You should not be worried about using it incorrectly. Once opened the defibrillator will give clear audio directions for use.
