Some Notes on Using the LCD screen

• Never remove the liquid crystal display cover at the back
of the music rest. By removing it you risk electrical shock
and/or malfunction.
• You may see vertical lines in the screen, but this is due to
the structure of a liquid crystal display, and does not
indicate a malfunction. By using the [Contrast] knob to
adjust the contrast of the screen, you can minimize these
lines.
• The contrast of the screen may be affected by the
temperature.
