removes magnetism that causes unwanted
color variations. Degauss the display
any time you notice unusual color
variations. If you leave the display
continuously turned on or frequently
change its position, you should
degauss about once a week.
To degauss the M40 or M50 display,
turn it off for about 30 minutes. When
you turn the display on again, there
will be a short humming sound and a
momentary instability in the image.
There are two degaussing options for
the M70 display. You can either turn
off the display as described for the
M40 and M50, or use the degauss option
in the OSD main window. See “Using the
OSD Main Window” in Chapter 4 for
instructions.
