• Reduce the brightness and contrast levels to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not operate the television set for a continuous period of
time while using TV games or home computers.
• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on
the LCD TV screen.
