HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and
injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the
panel. This may cause skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if
the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the
LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the
LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time
while it is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style
(16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing
normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides
of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation.
Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have
luminous spots.
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic
waves. Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such
as infrared cordless headphones.
