Handling the LCD screen

•Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green) may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and more than 99.99 % of the picture element is intact. However, some of the picture element may not appear or some of the picture element may appear constantly.

•Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the unit by a window.

•Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

•If the unit is used in a cold place, the horizontal lines or a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to normal.

•If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image may appear. The residual image will eventually disappear.

•The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
