NOTE: Be sure to take each pad off the liner
before applying it.
The pads have to stick well to the skin in
order to work. If the person's skin is wet,
dry it before applying the pads. If hair on
the chest prevents the pads from sticking to
the skin, clip or shave off the hair from the
area where the pad will go.
As soon as both pads are in place, the
HeartStart begins to analyze the patient's
heart rhythm. It tells you that no one
should be touching the patient and the
Caution light starts flashing.
