As far as pad placement, the icons on the pads will show where they go on the victim; upper right on chest and lower left on the ribs. The AED will recognise if the contact between the pad and skin is correct; if not, the chest was not wiped off to remove the fluids or there is too much hair where the pad was placed.

Why not place aeds pads over pacer or aicD?
If the AED is needed, the device clearly ins't working. If you succeed in your resuscitation & AED use, it may simply be that the battery needs changing or the device needs minor repair. If you put the pads over it and then use the AED you'll surely fry the pacer for good, meaning it will have to be replaced. There's also the risk of it causing internal burns or tissue damage as you put the charge through it.
Does an AED need to be serviced after each use?
In general, the AED batteries only need to be recharged. The pads are single use only, you will need replacement pads before the AED can be put back into service. Things you used to save someone's life, normally included in the AED kit, should be replaced too like gloves, mask, shaver, anti-septic wipes, etc. Shah Mundell Training Director - SoCal-CPR

What should you do after attaching aed pads to the victim's chest?
You should stand back. The AED should announce that it is going to analyze the heart rhythm an to stand clear.

I'm clear, you're clear, we're all clear." The AED will then proceed in analyzing the heart rhythm.Turn it on and listen
