There is also a procedure for finding out what the time left on 
your machine is [the pad change], on my machines  , you turn it 
off and then hold down a couple of the buttons in front and it 
gives you a print out.  The procedure is in the manuel.  Bob at 
MIS said that he was going to start carring the pads as an item, 
he's been asked for them before.  Just setting it on an old towel 
works also.  Glad the info helped.
