IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS (CONT'D)
• The neck or any area of the throat
because this can cause severe muscle
spasms resulting in closure of the airway,
difficulty breathing, or adverse effects on heart
rhythm or blood pressure.
• Both sides of the thorax simultaneously
(lateral or front and back), or across your
chest because the introduction of
electrical current may cause rhythm disturbances,
which could be lethal.
WARNING
AND PRECAUTIONS
REGARDING THE ELECTRODE
• Do not bend or fold because the electrode may
not function properly. Place the electrode onto the
plastic film and then store in the sealed container
when not in use.
• Do not apply ointment or any solvent to the
electrodes or to your skin because it will keep
the electrode from functioning properly.
• The electrode is already pre-gelled and will adhere
to your skin.
• To avoid damage to the adhesive surface of the
electrode, put the electrodes only on the skin or
on the plastic film provided.
• Place electrodes anywhere from 2"-6" apart from
each other on your skin.
• Always place clean electrodes in accordance with
the illustrations provided (Refer to pages 26 – 28
for electrode placement).
DO NOT USE YOUR ELECTRODES THIS WAY:
• Do not place on your spine or backbone.
• Electrodes should not touch any metal object,
such as a belt buckle, necklace or other jewelry
made from metal.
