No; you must stop CPR to dry the chest and put on the pads. Once the pads are on the patient, the AED should analyze.
Wipe them off with a dry towel or rag.
You should leave the AED pads on the victim's chest while the device analyzes the heart rhythm and delivers a shock if indicated. Do not remove the pads until emergency medical services (EMS) arrive and take over or if the pads need to be repositioned for proper contact. If the victim begins to show signs of life, such as breathing or movement, you should also check for responsiveness and continue monitoring until help arrives. Always follow the AED's prompts for the best guidance.
You should only remove the automated external defibrillator (AED) pads from the victim after the AED has prompted you to do so, indicating that it is safe to remove them. This typically occurs after the device has analyzed the heart rhythm and delivered a shock if necessary. Additionally, the pads should remain in place if emergency medical personnel arrive and take over care. Always follow the specific instructions provided by the AED.
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.
Before the AED starts analyzing the victims heart for electrical activity. This is important because, once the AED starts analyzing it could possibly mistake your heart beat/pulse rather than the victims. In this case the AED may not administer the shock that could save the victims life. Also for obvious reason, you definitely would not want to be touching the person while the AED was delivering a shock because there might be a chance for a portion of the energy to be transferred into you, which would affect the amount of shock the victim needs to reset their heart
First step is to open the AED. If it does not turn on when you open it (some do), turn on the AED. Follow instructions of AED. Be sure to wipe off the chest and rib area before applying the pads.
No, you need to dry the surface (chest) before applying the AED pads, as they can slip off or become ineffective.
Hold the power button until you see the power off slide, and then turn it off. This process may take twice as long to get to the power off slide and for it to totally turn off.

You should remove the patches, with a gloved hand, before placing AED pads on patient. You should also wipe off the skin with a piece of cloth in order to make sure all of the medication is off of their skin.
Hold the power button down, it forces a power shut off then you can restart it
