User Notice
All information, documentation, and specifications contained in this manual
are subject to change without prior notification by the manufacturer. The
manufacturer makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or
implied, with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any
warranties as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Any of
the manufacturer's software described in this manual is sold or licensed as is.
Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and
not the manufacturer, its distributor, or its dealer), assumes the entire cost of all
necessary servicing, repair and any incidental or consequential damages
resulting from any defect in the software.
The manufacturer of this system is not responsible for any radio and/or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this device. It is the
responsibility of the user to correct such interference.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in the operation
of this system if the correct operational voltage setting was not selected prior
to operation. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE SETTING IS
CORRECT BEFORE USE.
A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead
pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color
output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen,
although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the
pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can
create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable
screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all
manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain
amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the
manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO
specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the
TFT LCD panel.
