IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING USE OF VIDEO
GAMES, COMPUTERS, DSS OR OTHER FIXED IMAGE
DISPLAYS.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a

permanent “shadow image” on the picture tube. This background
image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary
fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube 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.

Note: The marking or retained image on the picture tube 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.
