DANGER
Do not touch the floor, other objects, clothing or other parts
of the body with the electrodes (after removing the
protective film) as it may remove the conducting layer of gel
on the electrodes.
A reduced layer of gel could cause burns on the skin under
the electrodes during defibrillation.
