NOTE
In the process of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) manufacturing, instances of one or more
pixels appearing in a dark or fixed color, or in an unchanging state, may occur. These
appear on the screen as spots and may be fixed on a particular colour, such as, white
or red.
In line with industry standards and based on Creative's screen manufacturer's
technical specifications, occurrences of fixed spots may appear and are considered
acceptable if they do not impair display quality.
If, however, you notice fixed spots on your Creative Zen Vision LCD interfering with
your use, contact Customer Support Services. You can find Customer Support
Services information in the Installation and Applications CD. Go to
d:\support\<region>\<language>\support.chm.
(replace d:\ with the drive letter of your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive, <region> with the
region that you are in, and <language> with the language that your document is in)
