In this case, I don't have a lot of room (or desire) to insert a NOTE, 
especially not the way we/I format those (with a color change and an
icon and a surrounding box to make them stand out). 

The mention of the wee protective (deflective?) covers is in 
a table containing the one-liner summaries of the callouts 
below a view of the appliance back panel. The other sentence in 
that table cell said. "... not used in this application." 

People wonder why I start threads with lo-o-o-o-o-ong posts. 
It's because my short ones all end up needing an excess of 
post-facto explanation anyway.  :-)
