2. PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
2-1 ASSEMBLY PRECAUTION
(1) Please do not press or scratch LCD panel surface with anything hard. And do not soil LCD panel surface by
touching with bare hands (Polarizer film, surface of LCD panel is easy to be flawed)
In the LCD panel, the gap between two glass plates is kept perfectly even to maintain display characteristic and
reliability. If this panel is subject to hard pressing, the following occurs :
(a) Uniform color (b) Orientation of liquid crystal becomes disorder
(2) Please wipe out LCD panel surface with absorbent cotton or soft cloth in case of it being soiled.
(3) Please wipe out drops of adhesive like saliva and water in LCD panel surface immediately.
They might damage to cause panel surface variation and color change.
(4) Do not apply any strong mechanical shock to the LCD panel.
2-2 OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
(1) Please be sure to unplug the power cord before remove the back-cover. (be sure the power is turn-off)
(2) Please do not change variable resistance settings in MAIN-BOARD, they are adjusted to the most suitable value. If
they are changed, it might happen LUMINANCE does not satisfy the white balance spec.
(3) Please consider that LCD backlight takes longer time to become stable of radiation characteristic in low
temperature than in room temperature.
(4) Please pay attention to displaying the same pattern for very long-time. Image might stick on LCD.
2-3 STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
(1) When you store LCD for a long time, it is recommended to keep the temperature between 5℃-35℃ without the
exposure of sunlight and to keep the humidity less than 80% RH.
(2) Please do not leave the LCD in the environment of high humidity and high temperature such as 60℃ 90%RH.
(3) Please do not leave the LCD in the environment of low temperature; below -15℃.
2-4 HIGH VOLTAGE WARNING
The high voltage was only generated by INVERTER module, if carelessly contacted the transformer on this module,
can cause a serious shock. (the lamp voltage after stable around 600V, with lamp current around 8mA, and the lamp
starting voltage was around 1500V, at Ta=25℃)

3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
This procedure gives you instructions for installing and using the LM520 LCD monitor display.
1. Position the display on the desired operation and plug–in the power cord into External Adapter AC outlet. Three-
wire power cord must be shielded and is provided as a safety precaution as it connects the chassis and cabinet to
the electrical conduct ground. If the AC outlet in your location does no t have prov ision s for th e groun d ed typ e plug,
the installer should attach the proper adapter to ensure a safe ground potential.
2. Connect the 15-pin color display shielded signal cable to your signal system device and lock both screws on the
connector to ensure firm grounding. The connector information is as follow:

3. Apply power to the display by turning the power switch to the "ON" position and allow about thirty seconds for
Panel warm-up. The Power-On indicator lights when the display is on.
4. With proper signals feed to the display, a pattern or data should appear on the screen, adjust the brightness and
contrast to the most pleasing display, or press auto-key to get the best picture-quality.
5. This monitor has power saving function following the VESA DPMS. Be sure to connect the signal cable to the PC.
6. If your LCD monitor requires service, it must be returned with the power cord & Adapter.

4. ADJUSTMENT
4-1 ADJUSTMENT CONDITIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Adjustments should be undertaken only on following function : contrast, brightness focus, clock, H-position, Vposition, red, green, blue since C1 color & C2 color.
No volume adjust description
4-2 ADJUSTMENT METHOD
Press MENU button to activate OSD Menu or make a confirmation on desired function, Press Left/Right button to select
the function or done the adjustment.
1. White-Balance, Luminance adjustment
Approximately 30 minutes should be allowed for warm up before pr oceeding white balance adjustment.
2. Clock adjustment
Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross-talk pattern) or WIN 9 8 / 95 sh ut - down mode (dot-pattern).
Adjust until the vertical-shadow as wide as possible or no visible.
This function is adjust the PLL divider of ADC to generate an accurate pixel clock
Example : Hsyn = 31.5KHz Pixel freq. = 25.175MHz (from VESA spec)
The Divider number is (N) = (Pixel freq. x 1000)/Hsyn
From this formula, we get the Divider number, if we fill this number in ADC register (divider register), the PLL of
ADC will generate a clock which have same period with above Pixel freq.(25.175MHz) the accuracy of this clock
will effect the size of screen.(this clock was called PIXEL-CLOCK)
3. Focus adjustment
Set the Chroma at pattern 63 (cross talk pattern) or WIN98 / 95 sh ut do w n mode (dot-pattern).
Adjust the horizontal interference as less as possible
This function is adjust the phase shift of PIXEL-CLOCK to acquire the right pixel data .
If the relationship of pixel data and pixel clock not so m at ch, we can see the ho ri zo ntal inte rfe rence at screen only
at crosstalk pattern and dot pattern we can find this phenomena, other pattern the affect is very light
4. H/V-Position adjustment
Set the Chroma at pattern 1 (crosshatch pattern) or WIN98/95 full-white pattern confirm above item 2 & 3
functions (clock & focus) was done well, if that 2 functions failed, the H/V position will be failed too. Adjust the
four edge until all four-edges are visible at the edge of screen.
5. MULTI-LANGUAGE function
There have 6 language for selection, press “MENU” to selected and confirm , press “ LEFT” or “ RIGHT” to
change the kind of language ( English , Deutch , Francais, Espa nol , Italian,Chinese)
6. Reset function
Clear each old status of auto-configuration and re-do auto-configuration ( for all mode)
This function also recall C2 color-temperature , if the monitor status was in “ Factory-mode” this reset function
will clear Power-on counter ( backlight counter) too.
7. View Power-on counter and reset the Power-on counter( if not necessary , not suggest to entry factory mode)
The Power-on counter was used to record how long the back light of panel already working, the backlight life time
was guarantee minimal 25000 hours, the maintainer can check the record only in factory mode.
7
Press MENU button for 2 seconds along with plug-in AC power cord will be in factory mode, and the OSD screen
will located at
white-balance data will overlap with the new-one, and you must perform the white-balance process again.
The result of counter was place at top of OSD, the maximal of record memory was 65000 hours, if exceed 65000
hours the counter will keep in 65000 hours until press “ RESET” at osd-menu in factory mode.
The “ RESET” function in factory mode will execute following function:
1. clear the Power-on counter to zero hours
2. clear old auto-configuration status for all mode , so the monitor will automatically re-do auto-config when
change to next mode or power on-off
4-3 FRONT PANEL CONTROL KNOBS
Power button : Press to switch on or switch off the monitor.

5-2 SPECIAL FUNCTION with PRESS-KEY
press Menu button during 2 seconds along with plug-in the AC Power cord:
That operation will set the monitor into “Factory- mode”, in Factory mode we can do the White balance adjustment
with RS232 , and view the Backlight counter (this counter is use to record the panel activate hours ,for convenient
the maintainer to check the panel backlight life time)
In Factory mode, OSD-screen will locate in left top of screen.
Press POWER-button off to on once will quit from factory mode and back to user-mode.
