IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program during your application. If a still image in
high contrast remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may leave an 'after-image'
or 'ghost image' on front of the screen. This is a well-known phenomenon that is caused by the
shortcomings inherent in LCD technology. In most cases, the after-image will disappear
gradually over a period of time after the power has been switched off. Be aware, that the after-
image symptom cannot be repaired and is not covered under warranty.
