Additional Safety Information
•After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly,
pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors
or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.
•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed
down from the ceiling.
•Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a
programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.
•Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
