Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for two years from the date of pur-
chase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is defec-
tive, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-
of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materials,
service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any onscreen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

2.2 Backlight Unit (LED Driver Board)
Following characteristics are measured under stable condition at 25°C:
Note 1: PWM dimming function can be operated by PWM signal. PWM duty cycle
can adjust white Luminance. (PWM High: ON and PWM Low: OFF)
Note 2: PWM signal cannot be floating and pull-down to ground when waiting.
Note 3: Enable (VLED ON/OFF) must be turned on late than VLED and PWM Signal.
Note 4: Enable (VLED ON/OFF) must be turned off early than VLED and PWM Signal.
Note 5: If this module is driven by high current or at high ambient temperature &
humidity condition. The operating life will be reduced.
Note 6: Operating life means brightness goes down to 50% initial brightness. Mini-
mum operating life time is estimated data.

3.3 Pin Description
The module uses a pair of LVDS receivers- SN75LVDS82(Texas Instruments or simi-
lar). LVDS is a differential signal technology for LCD interface and high speed data
transfer device. The transmitter is a SN75LVDS83 (negative edge sampling) or com-
patible. The first LVDS port (RxOxxx) transmits odd pixels while the second LVDS
port (RxExxx) transmits even pixels.
Note: Input signals of odd and even clock shall be the same timing.
