GENERAL INFORMATION

The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as slightly light
or dark areas on the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself
and not the product.
The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes
dark or begins to flicker, please contact your dealer.
Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this will result in
damage to the screen. There will be prints left on the screen if the image on the
screen when pressed is dark or black. If pressure is repeatedly applied to the
screen, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD panel. To decrease the
possibility of prints, try to keep the images on the screen as light as possible.
Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or
pen as this may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt to wipe with
tissues as this may scratch the LCD panel.
