1. Ensure the AED is turned on and ready for use. Locate the power switch or button and turn it on.
2. Open the lid or access panel of the AED to reveal the electrode pads. Most AEDs provide visual instructions or diagrams on the device itself.
3. Examine the electrode pads to determine which one goes on the upper right chest area or the upper right side of the victim's chest, and which one goes on the lower left chest area. Some AEDs have color-coded or labeled pads to help with correct placement.
4. Peel off the backing of the electrode pads to expose the adhesive side.
5. Apply the electrode pad with the upper right label or indicator onto the victim's upper right chest. Press it firmly to ensure proper contact with the skin.
6. Apply the electrode pad with the lower left label or indicator onto the victim's lower left chest. Press it firmly as well.
7. Make sure nobody is touching the victim while the AED is analyzing or delivering a shock. Follow the voice and visual prompts provided by the AED.

9. Perform CPR according to the AED's instructions if no shock is advised. Follow the prompts for compressions and rescue breaths.
10. Continue to follow the AED's voice and visual prompts until emergency medical services arrive.
