PRECAUTIONS Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,

Swimming pool or in a wet basement.

Do not place the monitor on an unstable trolley, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and

cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a trolley or stand recommended by the manufacture or sold

with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacture and

follow the kit instructions.

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet area provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable

operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered.

Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator

or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of

the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit

only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,

have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the grounded plug.

Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the

monitor from damage due to power surges.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric

shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous

voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate

configured receptacles marked between 100-240V AC, Min. 3.5A.

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem.

NOTES Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and

then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.

You may find slightly uneven brightness in the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use.

The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a

missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.

Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image,

when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or

turning off the Power Switch for hours.

Plug and play

Plug & play DDC2B feature This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor

to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information

about its display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC2B.

The DDC2Bis a bidirectional data channel based on the I2C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the

DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER

FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards Association(VESA) and/or

the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This

feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal

present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an

OFF mode. This reduces the monitor’s internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full

power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a “Screen Saver” feature

except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.

Using The Right Power Cord

The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with NEMA 5-15 style and is UL listed

and CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power cord shall be 125 volt AC.

Supplied with units intended for connection to power outlet of personal computer: Please use a cord set consisting of a

minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three conductors flexible cord. One end terminates with a grounding type

attachment plug, rated 10A, 250V,CEE-22 male configuration. The other end terminates with a molded-on type

connector body, rated 10A, 250V, having standard CEE-22 female configuration.

Please note that power supply card needs to use VDE 0602, 0625, 0821 approval power cord in European counties.

1.0 Handling Precautions 1) Since front polarizer is easily damaged, pay attention not to scratch it. 2) Be sure to turn off power supply when inserting or disconnecting from input connector. 3) Wipe off water drop immediately. Long contact with water may cause discoloration or spots. 4) When the panel surface is soiled, wipe it with absorbent cotton or other soft cloth. 5) Since the panel is made of glass, it may break or crack if dropped or bumped on hard surface. 6) Since CMOS LSI is used in this module, take care of static electricity and insure human earth when

handling. 7) Do not open nor modify the Module Assembly. 8) Do not press the reflector sheet at the back of the module to any directions. 9) In case if a module has to be put back into the packing container slot after once it was taken out from the

container, do not press the center of the CCFL reflector edge. Instead, press at the far ends of the CCFL reflector edge softly. Otherwise the TFT module may be damaged.

10) At the insertion or removal of the Signal Interface Connector, be sure not to rotate nor tilt the Interface

Connector of the TFT module. 11) After installation of the TFT module into an enclosure (Desktop monitor Bezel, for example), do not twist

nor bend the TFT Module even momentary. At designing the enclosure, it should be taken into consideration that no bending/twisting forces are applied to the TFT module from outside. Otherwise the TFT module may be damaged.

Note5:Tuning the brightness and contrast function in OSD let the luminance to 125 cd/m2. When tuning the brightness to 125cd/m2, the function on OSD should not restrict our V-T curve. In other word, the higher contrast, the range of panel’s V-T curve will be more extensive to get the better performance. If it is not possible to achieve the test luminance by this procedure it is suitable to tune contrast higher and brightness lower.

Approval3.2 BACK-LIGHT UNITThe back-light system is an edge - lighting type with 2 dual CCFTs ( Cold CathodeFluorescent Tube ) The characteristics of two dual lamps are shown in the following tables.

Ta=25 ± 2°C

Item Symbol Min. Typ. Max. Unit NoteLamp Current IL 2.5 6.5 7.0 mArms (1)Lamp Voltage VL - 650 - Vrms

Lamp Frequency fL 50 - 60 kHz (2)Operating Life Time Hr 50,000 - - Hour (3)

Startup Voltage Vs - -0 : 1,800

Vrms (4)25: 1,500

Note) The wave form of the inverter output voltage must be area symmetric and the designof the inverter must have specifications for the modularized lamp. l

The performance of the back-light, for example life time or brightness, is much influenced by thecharacteristics of the DC-AC inverter for the lamp. So all the parameters of an inverter should becarefully designed so as not to produce too much leakage current from high-voltage output of theinverter. When you design or order the inverter, please make sure that a poor lighting caused by themismatch of the back-light and the inverter(poor lighting, flicker, etc.) never occur. When you confirmit, the module should be operated in the same condition as it is installed in your instrument.

Note (1) Lamp current is measured with current meter for high frequency as shown below.Refer to the block diagram of the back-light unit in the next page for more information.Specified values are for a single lamp.

(2) Lamp frequency which may produce interference with horizontal synchronous frequency maycause line flow on the display. Therefore lamp frequency should be detached from the horizontalsynchronous frequency and its harmonics as far as possible in order to avoid interference.

(3) Life time (Hr) of a lamp is defined as the time in which it continues to operate under thecondition of Ta = 25±2°C and IL = 6.5mArms for a lamp until the brightness becomes 50%or lower than it's original value. Operating condition is lamp unit itself, not module assembly atoperating current 6.5mA.

(4) If an inverter has shutdown function, it should keep its output for over 1 second even if thelamp connector is open. Otherwise the lamps may not be turned on.

(5) Because the inverter uses high voltage, please disconnect it from the power beforeassembling or disassembling.

(2) Apply the lamp voltage within the LCD operation range. When the back-lightturns on before the LCD operation or the LCD turns off before the back-lightturns off, the display may momentarily show abnormal screen.

(3) In case of VDD = off level,please keep the level of input signals low or keep a high impedance.

(4) T4 should be measured after the module has been fully discharged betweenpower off and on period.

(5) Interface signal should not be kept at high impedance when the power is on.

Approval12. General Precautions

12.1 Handling

(a) When the module is assembled, it should be attached to the system firmlyusing all mounting holes. Be careful not to twist and bend the module.

(b) Because the inverter use high voltage, it should be disconnected from powerbefore it is assembled or disassembled.

(c) Refrain from strong mechanical shock and / or any force to the module. Inaddition to damage, this may cause improper operation or damage to the moduleand CCFT back-light.

(d) Note that polarizers are very fragile and could be damage deasily.Do not press or scratch the surface harder than a HB pencil lead.

(e) Wipe off water droplets or oil immediately. If you leave the droplets for a longtime, staining or discoloration may occur.

(f) If the surface of the polarizer is dirty, clean it using some absorbent cotton orsoft cloth.

(g) Desirable cleaners are water, IPA(Isopropyl Alcohol) or Hexane.Do not use Ketone type materials(ex. Acetone), Ethyl alcohol, Toluene, Ethyl acidor Methyl chloride. It might permanent damage to the polarizer due to chemicalreaction.

(h) If the liquid crystal material leaks from the panel, it should be kept awayfrom the eyes or mouth . In case of contact with hands, legs or clothes, it mustbe washed away with soap thoroughly.

(i) Protect the module from static, or the CMOS Gate Array IC would be damaged.

(j) Use finger-stalls with soft gloves in order to keep display clean during theincoming inspection and assembly process.

(k) Do not disassemble the module.

(l) Do not pull or fold the lamp wire.

(m) Do not adjust the variable resistor located on the module.

(n) Protection film for polarizer on the module should be slowly peeled off just before useso that the electrostatic charge can be minimized.

(o) Pins of I/F connector should not be touched directly with bare hands.

Approval12.2 Storage

(a) Do not leave the module in high temperature, and high humidity for a long time.It is highly recommended to store the module with temperature from 0 to 35and relative humidity of less than 70%.

(b) Do not store the TFT-LCD module in direct sunlight.

(c) The module should be stored in a dark place. It is prohibited to apply sunlight orfluorescent light in storing.

12.3 Operation

(a) Do not connect or disconnect the module in the "Power On" condition.

(b) Power supply should always be turned on/off by the item 6.3"Power on/off sequence"

(c) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the electromagneticinterference should be done by system manufacturers. Grounding and shielding methodsmay be important to minimize the interference.

(d) The cable between the back-light connector and its inverter power supply shouldbe connected directly with a minimized length. A longer cable betweenthe back-light and the inverter may cause lower luminance of lamp(CCFT) andmay require higher startup voltage(Vs).

12.4 Others

(a) Ultra-violet ray filter is necessary for outdoor operation.

(b) Avoid condensation of water. It may result in improper operation or disconnectionof electrode.

(c) Do not exceed the absolute maximum rating value. ( supply voltage variation,input voltage variation, variation in part contents and environmental temperature,and so on)Otherwise the module may be damaged.

(d) If the module keeps displaying the same pattern for a long period of time,the image may be "sticked" to the screen.

(e) This module has its circuitry PCB's on the rear side and should be handledcarefully in order not to be stressed.
