FCC INFORMATION
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of a Class B digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause unacceptable
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures -- reorient or relocate the receiving antenna; increase the separation between
equipment and receiver; or connect the into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
FCC WARNING
To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use a grounded power supply cord and the

Will not be held responsible for the product and its safety.
CE CERTIFICATION
This device complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC with regard to
“Electromagnetic compatibility.”
SAFETY CAUTION
Use a power cable that is properly grounded. Always use the AC cords as follows – USA (UL);
Canada (CSA); Germany (VDE); Switzerland (SEV); Britain (BASEC/BS); Japan (Electric

9. Precautions
Please pay attention to the followings when you use this TFT LCDmodule.
9-1. Mounting Precautions
(1) You must mount a module using holes arranged in four cornersor four sides.
(2) You should consider the mounting structure so that uneven force (ex. Twisted
stress) is not applied to the module. And the case on which a module is
mounted should have sufficient strength so that external force is not
transmitted directly to the module.
(3) Please attach the surface transparent protective plate to the surface in order to
protect the polarizer. Transparent protective plate should have sufficient
strength in order to the resist external force.
(4) You should adopt radiation structure to satisfy the temperature specification.
(5) Acetic acid type and chlorine type materials for the cover case are not
desirable because the former generates corrosive gas of attacking the
polarizer at high temperature and the latter causes circuit break by
electro-chemical reaction.
(6) Do not touch, push or rub the exposed polarizers with glass,tweezers or
anything harder than HB pencil lead. And please do not rub with dust clothes
with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface of polarizer for bare hand or
greasy cloth.(Some cosmetics are detrimental to the polarizer.)
(7) When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or
other soft materials like chamois soaks with petroleum benzine.

(8) Normal-hexane is recommended for cleaning the adhesives used to attach
front / rear polarizers. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they
cause chemical damage to the polarizer.
(9) Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact
with polarizer causes deformations and color fading.
(10) Do not open the case because inside circuits do not have sufficient strength.
9-2. Operating Precautions
(1) The spike noise causes the mis-operation of circuits. It should be lower than
following voltage: V=±200mV(Over and under shoot voltage)
(2) Response time depends on the temperature.(In lower temperature, it becomes
longer.)
(3) Brightness depends on the temperature. (In lower temperature, it becomes
lower.) And in lower temperature, response time(required time that brightness
is stable after turned on) becomes longer.
(4) Be careful for condensation at sudden temperature change. Condensation
makes damage to polarizer or electrical contacted parts. And after fading
condensation, smearor spot will occur.
(5) When fixed patterns are displayed for a long time, remnant image is likely to
occur.
(6) Module has high frequency circuits. Sufficient suppression to the
electromagnetic interference shall be done by system manufacturers.
Grounding and shielding methods may be important to minimized the
interference.
(7) Please do not give any mechanical and/or acoustical impact to LCM.
Otherwise, LCM can’t be operated its full characteristics perfectly.
(8) A screw which is fastened up the steels should be a machine screw. (if not, it
causes metallic foreign material and deal LCM afatal blow)
(9) Please do not set LCD on its edge.
9-3. Electrostatic Discharge Control
Since a module is composed of electronic circuits, it is not strong to electrostatic
discharge. Make certain that treatment persons are connected to ground through
wrist band etc. And don’t touch interface pin directly.

9-4. Precautions for Strong Light Exposure
Strong light exposure causes degradation of polarizer and color filter.
9-5. Storage
When storing modules as spares for a long time, the following precautions are
necessary.
(1) Store them in a dark place. Do not expose the module to sunlight or
fluorescent light. Keep the temperature between 5°C and 35°C at normal
humidity.
(2) The polarizer surface should not come in contact with any other object. It is
recommended that they be stored in the container in which they were shipped.
9-6. Handling Precautions for Protection Film
(1) The protection film is attached to the bezel with a small masking tape. When
the protection film is peeled off, static electricity is generated between the film
and polarizer. This should be peeled off slowly and carefully by people who
are electrically grounded and with well ion- blown equipment or in such a
condition, etc.
(2) When the module with protection film attached is stored for a long time,
sometimes there remains a very small amount of glue still on the bezel after
the protection film is peeled off.
(3) You can remove the glue easily. When the glue remains on thebezel surface
or its vestige is recognized, please wipe them off with absorbent cotton waste
or other soft material like chamois soaked with normal- hexane.
