1. Select sites with intact skin, without impairment of any
kind.
2. Clip or shave hair from sites as necessary.
3. Gently abrade the skin to remove dead skin cells to
improve the conductivity of the electrode site.
4. Wash sites thoroughly with soap and water, leaving no
soap residue.
(We do not recommend using ether or pure alcohol, because
this dries the skin and increases the resistance.)
5. Dry skin thoroughly.
6.3.2 Placing Electrode
1.
