Otherwise, the measurement cannot be taken correctly.

Warnings and Cautionary Advices
When connecting external electrodes and/or patient cables, make sure that the

connectors never come into contact with other conductive parts, or with earth. In
particular, make sure that all of the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to
prevent them from contacting conductive parts or earth.
If using the ECG for long-term monitoring, periodically inspect the electrode

application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin quality changes, replace the
electrodes or change the application site.
