The sticky electrode pads need to be placed in the 

correct position

Clean the skin thoroughly and allow skin to dry before applying the pads. 

2. Carefully 

peel the pads from the plastic backing

using your forefinger and

thumb. Do not  pull on the lead wires. Retain plastic backing and pouch for

storage after use.

3.

Position the top two pads

(connected to the left socket CH1) approximately

4cm either side of the spine and 4-5cm above the imaginary navel line as

seen in the diagram.
