Fortunately, image persistenceon LCD monitors is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for aslong as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor forone hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erasethe image.✦ LaCie recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.It is also a good idea to turn off the monitor when it is not in use.continued on the next page>>
