Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
! If the display is installed near the vent of an
air conditioner, make sure that air from the
air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat
from the heater may damage the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may
cause moisture to form inside the display
resulting in possible damage. Also, if the
display is cooled down by the cooler, the
screen may become dark, or the life span
of the small fluorescent tube used inside
the display may be shortened.
! Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD
screen and do not indicate a problem with
the display.
! At low temperatures, the LCD screen may
be dark for a while after the power is turned
on.
! The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
! When using a portable phone, keep the an-
tenna of the portable phone away from the
display to prevent disruption of the video by
the appearance of spots, colored stripes,
etc.
Keeping the display in good
condition
! When removing dust from the screen or
cleaning the display, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
! When wiping the screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
