contained in this manual without prior notice. Manufactures makes no warranty, express, implied or statutory,
disclaims or specifically disclaims its possibility of sale and applicability for a particular purpose. The same
applies to any sold and authorized manufacturer's software described in this manual. If the Software Program

resulting from the Software defect. The manufacturer is not responsible for any unauthorized interference

Please be sure that the voltage has been set correctly before use.
A typical LCD (liquid crystal display) has millions of pixels. A dead pixel is a defective pixel that does not display
the correct color. On the screen, it usually looks like a tiny black or white dot, which can also be any other
color. In the manufacturing process, even if a pixel on the tiny dust particles, or in the course of a slight impact
during transport, may have a dead pixel. In the ISO 13406-2 specification, four categories of acceptable screen
dead pixels are defined: the first is the best product, and the fourth is the worst. Almost all manufacturers use
the second level as a guarantee of the product, allowing a certain number of dead pixels exist, such as more
than the tolerance will change the screen. Since the manufacturer is of the opinion that this screen is
permitted by the ISO specification, we are not responsible for the replacement or warranty of the TFT LCD
panel.
