Notes on the LCD screen
Read the following precautions for correct use of the LCD screen.
The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright
points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD screen. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process
and does not indicate a malfunction.
Do not scratch the surface of the LCD screen or exert pressure on it. This could cause damage.
Do not exert pressure on the LCD screen lid with the lid closed as it may scratch the LCD screen or soil it.
