rate.

Do not place the display near a strong magnetic force.

Do not block the ventilation slots on the display.
 Using the computer in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the computer returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.

disappears after a period of time. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images.
