all droplets have been removed before leaving it unattended. Water
droplets may leave stains if allowed to evaporate in place. After remov-
ing all visible water, leave the unit in a shady, well-ventilated area to dry.
• To protect the unit from mold, mildew, corrosion, and rust, avoid stor-
ing it in locations that are damp or exposed to high levels of humidity.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in malfunction.
• Take the unit from storage about once a month, insert the batteries, fi re

that the fl ash-ready lamp is lit, and then turn the unit off and remove
the batteries.
