Claim:
1. A method of placing electrodes comprising: prior to placement of the electrodes of a monitoring unit on an individual person, providing instructions as to correct placement of the electrodes; placing the electrodes at various locations on the individual person; control circuitry of the monitoring unit determining when current sent from the individual person through the electrodes is indicative of the electrodes being reversed and that the electrodes can be corrected by a user; when the current sent from the individual person through the electrodes is indicative of the electrodes being reversed and that the electrodes can be corrected by the user, the control circuitry evaluating the placement of the electrodes based on the current sent from the individual person through the electrodes, and the control circuitry providing verbal feedback relative to the placement of the electrodes on the individual person, the verbal feedback including instructions that two of the electrodes need to be switched; and when the current sent from the individual person through the electrodes is not indicative of the electrodes being reverses and that the electrodes can be corrected by the user, the control circuitry providing feedback for the user to call for service.
