Placing the device on the breast
The electrodes should be laid horizontally on the top
of the breast and above the areola, directly above the
nipple. It is important to place the device accurately
by aiming the locator bar to the upper edge of the
aureole.
In Case of Fallen Breast
Elongate the Locator bar until the electrodes’ height is above the fold of the
breast.
