No: C240x02xxW00 REV.1.0 2.4 Operation a) The contras can be adjusted by varying the LCD driving voltage V0 b) Driving voltage should be kept within specified range, excess voltage shortens display life. c) Response time increases with decrease in temperature. d) Display may turn black or dark blue at temperature above its operational range, this is (however not pressing on the viewing area) may cause the segments to appear "fractured". e) Mechanical disturbance during operation ( such as pressing on the viewing area) may cause the segments to appear "fractured". 2.5 Storage If any fluid leaks out of the damage glass cell, wash off any human part that comes into contact with soap and water. Never swallow the fluid. The toxicity is extremely low but caution should be exercised at all the time. 2.6 Limited Warranty Unless otherwise agreed between Crystal Clear Technology and customer, Crystal Clear Technology will replace or repair any of its LCD and LCM which is found to be defective electrically and visually when inspected in accordance with Crystal Clear Technology acceptance standards, for a period of one year from date of shipment. Confirmation of such date shall be based on freight documents. The warranty liability of Crystal Clear Technology is limited to repair and/or replacement on the terms set forth above. Crystal Clear Technology will not responsible for any subsequent or consequential events. 20 CRYSTAL CLEAR TECHNOLOGY SDN. BHD. Spec.
