The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow
image” on the picture tube. This background image is viewable on normal programs in
the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture tube deterioration
can be limited by observing the following steps:
A.   Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B.   Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C.  Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Note:The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image use is not
an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not
designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.
