ger from the screen and try again.
●Remove any dirt on the screen by wiping with a soft cloth. Do not use detergent.
■When using the touch screen
●If the screen is cold, the display may be dark, or the system may seem to be
operating slightly slower than normal.
●The screen may seem dark and hard to see when viewed through sunglasses.
