lighter in the accessory power
outlets.
.Do not place any foreign objects,
especially metal ones such as
coins or aluminum foil, into the
accessory power outlet. That

outlet, this can result in a poor
contact or cause the plug to get
stuck. Only use plugs that fit
properly.
.Use of an electric appliance in the
accessory power outlet for a long
