1. A method of advising a user of a current therapy mode setting of a defibrillator comprising:
- a. deploying the defibrillator, the defibrillator having a controller, an energy delivery system operable by the controller to deliver an electrical shock from an energy source to an electrode interface, and an audible prompt generator, wherein the defibrillator is attached to a patient;
b. detecting input from the user;
c. delivering an audible prompt to the user confirming the current therapy mode setting of the defibrillator; and
d. delivering therapy to a patient in the selected therapy mode.
