General notes
!Avoid any direct contact with the display
surface. Pressure on the display surface may
result in impairments to the display, which
could be irreversible.
Wearing polarized sunglasses may impair your
ability to read the display. The display has an automatic temperature-con-
trolled switch-off feature. The brightness is
automatically reduced if the temperature is too
high. The display may then temporarily switch
off completely.

Cleaning instructions
!Do not touch the display. The display has a
very sensitive high-gloss surface; there is a
risk of scratching. If you have to clean the
screen, however, use a mild cleaning agent
and a soft, lint-free cloth.
The display must be switched off and have
cooled down before you start cleaning. Clean
the display screen, when necessary, with a com-
mercially available microfiber cloth and cleaning
agent for TFT and LCD displays. Do not apply
pressure to the display surface when cleaning it,
as this could cause irreversible damage to the
display. Then, dry the surface with a dry micro-
fiber cloth.
Avoid using alcoholic thinners, gasoline or abra- sive cleaning agents. These could damage the
display surface.
