  When the lid 12a is opened to the left side by pressing the Japanese button 30a (S3: “Japanese”), Japanese is selected as the language of the voice guidance and operation guidance information, and the voice guidance is output in Japanese. And display the operation guidance information in Japanese (S4). When the lid 12a is opened to the right side by pressing the English button 30b (S3: “English”), English is selected as the language of the voice guidance and operation guidance information, and the voice guidance is output in English. Display operation guide information (S5). As a method for outputting voice guidance in each language, for example, voice guidance data in a selected language is read from a storage unit (not shown) in the main body 11, and voice guidance is reproduced according to the data and output from the speaker 11c.

  If the lid 12a is open when the button is pressed (S2: YES), since any language has already been selected when the lid 12a is opened, the voice guidance output in the selected language is performed. Continue (S6). Further, even if the button is pressed while the lid 12a is open, the lid 12a does not operate, so that the operation of the display cover 20c for switching the language of the operation guidance information does not occur. That is, in the present embodiment, the language switching of the voice guidance and the operation guidance information can be disabled while the lid 12a is open. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the language of the voice guidance and operation guidance information from being switched to an undesirable language for the operator by accidentally pressing the Japanese button 30a or the English button 30b while using the AED 10. can do.

  According to the present embodiment, the operation support system for the AED 10 includes the guide unit that selects the language of the operation guide for the AED 10 based on how to open the lid 12a. In the present embodiment, the guide unit is configured to select a language for voice guidance. That is, the guidance unit includes a speaker 11c serving as a voice guidance unit that outputs voice guidance, and a control unit (not shown) inside the main body 11 that selects the language of the voice guidance based on how to open the lid 12a. It is comprised from the combination of. With this configuration, the language of the voice guidance output when using the AED 10 can be determined based on how to open the lid 12a. Further, the language of the operation guide information displayed when the AED 10 is used is determined based on how the lid 12a is opened by the AED operation guide 20 as a display guide provided with the display cover 20c that operates in accordance with the open / closed state of the lid 12a.
