Cautions on screen treatment

Screen Burn:

Screen burn will only happen if you misuse the TV, and therefore damage from screen burn is not covered by the warranty. Screen burn happens when images remain on the screen without moving for an extended period of time. Screen burn can occur in any projection television made by any manufacturer. You may have seen screen burn on A TM bank machines. People who use “screen savers” on their computer monitors are saving their monitors from screen burn. Especially for projection TV’s screen burn is caused by programmes or images displayed when the TV has a high CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS setting.

•Do not play video games, computer programme, or similar programmes that have fixed or repetitive images.

•Keep contrast and brightness low - -- especially on teletext programmes, news programmes, business reports, and home-shopping (or similar) programmes. To adjust contrast and brightness, see page 17.

•Do not leave fixed images on the screen for long time.

Screen Cleaning:

Your projection television screen is fragile and should be handled with exterme care, especially if you are forced to touch the screen directly --- i.e. when cleaning it. Be careful not to scratch the screen with jewellery or fingernails.

The following products will DAMAGE THE SCREEN. Do not use then under any circumstances.

•AMMONIA. NEVER use deterrgents that contain ammonia !

•AEROSOLS AND CHEMICALS. NEVER use aerosol or chemical cleaners !

•GLASS AND WINDOWS CLEANERS. NEVER use glass or windows cleaners !

To clean the screen:

Clean the screen

1. Add two to three drops of detergent to one quart of water.

2. Take a soft cloth (such as a cotton tee-shirt), dampen the cloth with the soapy solution, and wipe the screen from top to bottom.

3. Gently wipe off any soap left on the screen.
