1.) Since the Vivid™ 4 weighs 170 kg (375 lbs) or more, without options, two persons are always
required to unpack it. This is also applicable when installing any additional items in excess of 16 kg
(35 lbs).
2.) There are no operator-serviceable components. To prevent shock, do not remove any covers or
panels. Should problems or malfunctions occur, unplug the power cord. Only qualified service
personnel should carry out servicing and troubleshooting.
