LA L
Left clavicle as shown
RL N
Reference or ground lead, should be placed to maximize patient comfort
LL F
Lower left side of body, as close to the hip as possible
V C

location)
When the electrode sites have been identified and prepped, remove the clear electrode covering and apply an
electrode to each of the sites. Secure each electrode by exerting slight pressure around the outer edge and inner ring
of the electrode.
To connect the lead wires, begin with connecting the LL lead wire (Red – labeled LL or F) to the LL electrode.
Connect the next lead wire on the cable to the next electrode. Continue connecting the snap connectors to the
electrodes as positioned on the main cable.
