Thanks Mark.
Yes, my local mechanic also told me it's ok to use tubes with tubeless rims.
But when reading the owner's manual there are scary statements of warning like "Do not install tube-type tires on tubeless rims. The beads may not seat and the tires could slip on the rims" & "Do not install a tube inside a tubeless tire. Excessive heat build-up may cause the tube to burst".
I just wonder if these statements are merely written for legal considerations, or there is a real, potential threat associated?
