The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line, which is a stylistic or background element (like a ruled paper line or separator), not a placeholder for text. According to Rule 2, such stylistic/background lines must be ignored by the OCR result. The OCR content provided is "", which consists of no characters. This correctly represents the absence of any textual content in the GT and correctly matches the visual line as a stylistic element. Therefore, the OCR output should not contain any underscores or line representations that constitute a formatting error. The OCR should have outputted nothing (or at most whitespace) since no actual text is present. Outputting nothing for a non-placeholder line follows the rule and constitutes an error. Therefore, the OCR result is consistent with the Ground Truth.

Note

• Before removing the Battery, operate the Main Unit repeatedly until the Battery is discharged completely.
• The appliance must be switched off & unplugged when removing the battery.
• The Battery is to be disposed of safely.
