NEVER operate if the unit has a damaged cord or plug. If it is not working properly,
call a qualified technician for examination and repair.
Keep all electrical cords away from heated or hot surfaces.
Ensure all cables and cords are routed such that they will not become entangled or
pinched. Otherwise damage or injury may result.

the same time. If pendant buttons are depressed too rapidly or multiple buttons are
pressed at the same time, the desired feature may not activate. Simply release the
pendant button, permit a slight pause and then activate the next operation.

a power outage.
