by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table specified
by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used,
use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from
tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms
or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such

may still be connected to the power source. The light may go
out when the apparatus is turned off, regardless of whether
it is still plugged into an AC power source.
Note: Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is
used to disconnect the device, the disconnect device shall
remain readily operable.
Eliminate AC Power/Mains Overloads
WARNING: Avoid electric shock and
fire hazard! Do not overload AC power/mains,
outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience
receptacles. For products that require battery power
or other power sources to operate them, refer to the
operating instructions for those products.
