For example, if an imagewas on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase theimage.NOTE: As with all personal display devices, NEC DISPLAY SOLUTIONS recommends using a moving screen saver at regularintervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.CAUTION01_English 18/6/07, 10:57 AM11
