1. Precautions and Notices
1.1 Safety Precautions
Although LCD monitors are displays without high voltage as that in the CRTs, the
following precautions still should be take care of.
1) Observe all cautions and safety related notes located inside the display cabinet and on
the display chassis.
2) Operation of these displays outside the cabinet or with the cover removed involves a
shock hazard from the display backlight’s inverter. Work on the display should not be
attempted by anyone who is not thoroughly familiar with precautions necessary when
working on high voltage equipment.
3) Before returning a serviced display to the customer, a thorough safety test must be
performed to verify that the display is safe to operate without danger or shock.
1.2 Product Safety Notice
1) Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis provide special visual safety
protection. The protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using
replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc.
2) Before replacing any of these components, read the parts list manual carefully. The use
of substitute replacement parts, which do not have the same safety characteristics, as
specified in the parts list may create shock, fire or other hazards.
1.3 Service Notes
1) When replacing parts or circuit boards, wrap the wires around terminals before
soldering.
2) Keep wires away from high temperature components.
3) Keep cable and their shielding in their original position so as to reduce interference.

5. General Connection and Applications
Procedures for installing and using this CML171SX LCD monitor are described as
below.
5.1 Connecting the monitor to the computer
1) Place the display on a flat, sturdy surface. Choose an area free from excessive heat,
moisture, and sunlight. Avoid possible sources of electromagnetic interference, such as
transformers, motors, and fluorescent lighting.
2) Locate the AC power adapter with attached power cable and then connect the power cable
to the power jack on the back of the display. Plug the three-prong power cord into a power
outlet, and plug the other end into the AC power adapter. The three-prong power cord is a
shielded type and is provided as a safety precautions to ensure proper electrical grounding.
Plug the D-SUB 15-pin analog signal cable into the Analog Input port on the back of the
display. Connect the other end of the signal cable into your computer’s VGA output port. The
assignment of the pins of the connector is as follows:

1Red Video 9+5V for DDC circuit
2Green Video 10 Logic Ground
3Blue Video 11 Monitor Ground
4Monitor Ground 12 DDC-Serial Data
5DDC-Return 13 H-Sync.
6Red Ground 14 V-Sync.
