- 2. Press both buttons at the same time and pull the Cat Dome upward to separate it from the main body.
- Before attaching the new Cat Dome, make sure it is aligned correctly. Front of the main body: the side with the LG logo.
- Front of the Cat Dome: The side with the Status Panel.
- Align the two front sides so they face the same direction, then push the Cat Dome into the main body until you hear a click and it is fully secured.
- Place the Cat Dome Cushion on top of the assembled Cat Dome before use.
- Make sure the dome is fully attached: If you do not hear a click when attaching the Cat Dome, or if it is not assembled properly, the product will not operate.
- Check the alignment carefully: If you force the Cat Dome into place without aligning it correctly, it may cause a malfunction or damage the product.
- Do not use the Main Unit by itself: If power is connected to the main body without the Cat Dome attached, the product will not operate for safety reasons.
- Assemble it in a safe location: To help prevent the product from falling or being damaged, assemble it on a flat surface where you plan to use it.
