Convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the unit. Be sure that

11. 

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. 

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the 

manufacturer, or sold with the unit. When a cart is used, use caution when 

moving the cart/unit combination to avoid injury from tipping over.

13. Unplug this unit when unused for long periods of time.

14. 

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the 

unit has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power-supply cord or plug is 

damaged, if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the unit, if the unit is exposed to 

rain or moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped.

15. 

Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. 

Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
