Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD panel. This background image
is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited
by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness / contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and has a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries
Alliance: www.eiae.org.
NOTE:
• This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting system and AC house current is exactly the same as in
the U.S.A..
• The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This
product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.
