• Place the RA (white) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LA (black) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the LL (red) electrode on the patient’s
lower left abdomen within the rib cage
frame.
• Place the RL (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower right abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
• Place the V (brown) electrode in one of the
V-lead positions (V1 to V6) depicted in the
following section.
• Place the R (red) electrode under the
patient’s right clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the L (yellow) electrode under the
patient’s left clavicle, at the mid-clavicular
line within the rib cage frame.
• Place the F (green) electrode on the
patient’s lower left abdomen within the rib
cage frame.
• Place the N (black) electrode on the
patient’s lower right abdomen within the
rib cage frame.
