Notes on LCD
The color LCD is manufactured using extremely high
precision technology, but even so may include
certain pixels that do not operate properly (that do
not light, that remain lit constantly, etc.). We do our
bestto keep the number of these defective pixels to a
minimum, but please understand that they cannotbe
completely eliminated even with the most advanced
manufacturing technologies available today.
The fluorescent tube which illuminates the panelfrom
the inside will deteriorate with use. When the LCD
becomes dim, flickers, or does not illuminate, contact
your dealer for replacement.
The brightness of the LCD monitor differs slightly
depending on the viewing angles. Adjust the angle to
obtain the best viewing.
