1. Appropriate Operation
(1) Turn off the product before cleaning.
(2) Use only a dry soft cloth when cleaning the LCD panel surface.
(3) Use a soft cloth soaked with mild detergent to clean the display housing.
(4)Use only high quality andsafety approved AC power cord.
(5) Disconnect the power plug from AC outlet if the product is not used for a long period of time.
(6) If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the LCD display off.
(7) Do not touch the LCD panel surface with sharp or hard objects.
(8) Do not place heavy objects on the LCD display, video cable, or power cord.
(9) Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents for your cleaning.
(10) Do not operate the product under the following conditions:
- Extremely hot, cold or humid environment.
-Areas susceptible to excessive dustand dirt.
- Near any appliance generating a strong magnetic field.
- Place in direct sunlight.
2. Caution
No modification of any circuit should be attempted. Service work should only be performed after you are thoroughly familiar
with all of the following safety checks and servicing guidelines.
3. Safety Check
Care should be taken while servicing this LCD display. Because of the high voltage used in the inverter circuit, the voltage is
exposed in such areas as the associated transformer circuits.
4. LCDModule Handling Precautions
4.1 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 CFL
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.
1. Precautions and Safety Notices

(11) After installation of the TFT Module into an enclosure (LCD monitor housing, 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.
(12) Cold cathode fluorescent lamp in LCD contains a small amount of mercury. Please follow local ordinances or
regulations for disposal.
(13) Small amount of materials having no flammability grade is used in the LCD module. The LCD module should
be supplied by power complied with requirements of Limited Power Source (IEC60950 or UL1950), or be
applied exemption.
(14) The LCD module is designed so that the CFL in it is supplied by Limited Current Circuit (IEC60950 or
UL1950). Do not connect the CFL in Hazardous Voltage Circuit.

"Power Button Locked". It also means that with the power button locked, the LCD would automatically turn back
"On" when power is restored after a power failure. If the power button is not in the locked mode, then power
should return to it's previous state when power is restored after a power failure. The power button lock will be
deactivated by pressing the front panel control buttons "(1), & (▼)" again for 10 seconds.
Note 1: Status bar indicating Power Button lock or unlock is in progress and when complete it will indicate
“Power Button Locked”
Note 2: Power should only be lockable in the “On State”
Memory Recall Actions
Memory Recall action on the analog and digital mode as below
1. Recall white balance to factory setting
2. Set the factory defaults as shown in Section 4-8
3. Clean all the mode setting buffer
4. Execute Auto Image Adjust
Note: Memory Recall should have no effect for Language, Power Lock, User Color Settings
Resolution Notice Actions
1. Resolution Notice OSD should show on screen after changing to non-native mode for 30 sec
2. The OSD should disappear after 10 sec or by pushing button [1] or [2]
Resolution Notice function should be disabled when push button [2] under Resolution Notice OSD
0-Touch™ Function Actions
1. Execute Auto Image Adjust when new mode detected, and save the settings to buffer for further use
2. It should be reset by Memory Recall function
(Should not reset by power off, power unplug and others)
OSD Auto Save
The OSD shall save new settings when it is turned off by the user or when it times out. There shall not be a
separate save

OSD Position allows you to move the on-screen display menus
and control screens.
OSD Timeout sets the length of time the on-screen display
screen is displayed. For example, with a “30 second” setting, if a
control is not pushed within 30 seconds, the display screen
disappears.
Control Explanation
Input Priority
If multiple computers will be connected to the display,
this function can be used to select which computer has priority
Depending on the selected Input Priority, the display will do a one
time detection for available inputs when first powered on.
For example: If the Input Priority setting is D-SUB=>D-SUB2=>DVI,
then the first priority will be given to D-SUB1 when the display turns
on. If there is no video signal on D-SUB1, then the next priority will be
given to D-SUB-2, etc… In the case of only one signal being present at
the three inputs, then the display will automatically detect and display
that signal.
The Input Priority setting can also be disabled. In this case, the input
will return to the last setting when the display is first turned on. The
user will need to control all the port settings manually under this
condition. Inputs can be switched quickly by pressing the "Up" arrow
button on the front panel controls.
Memory Recall returns the adjustments back to factory settings
if the display is operating in a factory Preset Timing Mode listed
in the Specifications of this manual.
OSD Pivot This function is used to rotate the OSD menu,
when the display is changed from Landscape to Portrait mode.
OSD Background On/Off allows you to turn the On-Screen Display
background On or Off.

1. Power supply (DC/DC Converter)
TheAP1501 is monolithic IC designed for M/B DC/DC converter,with the ability ofdriving a 3A load without any
additional transistor component.
TheAP1501 operates at a switching frequency of150 kHzand thusallows smaller-sized filter components than
would be needed with lower frequency switch regulator.
2. Flash Memory
The Pm39LV010R is a 1 Megabit, 3.3 Volt-only Flash Memory organized as 131,072 bytes of 8 bits each. This device is
designed to use a 3.0 Volt to 3.6 Volt power supply to perform in-system programming.
The 1 Megabit memory array is divided into thirty-two uniform blocks of 4 Kbytes each for data and/or code storage.
The block architecture allows users to flexibly make chip erase or block erase operation. The block erase feature allows a
particular block to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data in other blocks. After the device performs chip

erase or block erase operation, it can be reprogrammed on a byte-by-byte basis.
