Manual Degauss
Degaussing refers to the process of removing magnetic-field 
effects from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a

To activate the manual degauss:
1.  Press and hold the monitor adjustment button for a minute. 
The monitor adjustment menu appears. 
2.  Move to the Degauss menu and press the monitor 
adjustment button (+).  The monitor is degaussed.
NOTE:  Monitor degaussing (demagnetizing) is done automatically when 
the system is turned on.
