Note: To remove the electrodes, hold the sensor or the extender
cable button with one hand, place the index finger of the other
hand on the electrode and slide the thumb nail between the
electrode and the electrode snap, pry the electrode gently out of the
snap.
Sensor placement:
Generally, the sensor is placed on a muscle site
so the two active electrodes are positioned parallel to the muscle
fibers (i.e. placed in line with them). (See figure 4.)

Sensor jacks and plugs:
Plugs and jacks with protected pins
:
Thought Technology has developed its
own patented gold plated protected pin
system for all sensor and encoder plugs
and jacks.
The protected pins are designed to prevent any possibility of direct
skin contact with the metallic elements that conduct the amplified
signals. They also help prevent accidental damage from attempting
to plug Thought Technology sensors and encoders to equipment for
which they were not designed.
