Tip
• Liquid Crystal Display
D
The LCD used in this unit has a tendency to
change color in response to the
surrounding temperature. The display's
color tone may turn gray or its ability to
switch between displayed information may
slow down when the room is not at
optimum temperature, or when the unit
has been operating for a long period of
time. However, these are only temporary
symptoms and regular functionality will be
restored once the unit returns to optimum
temperature.
