15 PRECAUTION FOR USING

15.1 HANDLING
(1) Refrain from storing mechanical shock and from applying any force to LCD MODULE.
It may cause mis_operation or damage of LCD.
(2) Do not touch, press or rub the display panel with a hard, stiff tool or object as the
polarizers in the panel are easily scratched.
(3) If LCD is broken and liquid crystal material flow out, ingestion, inhalation, or contact
with skin should be avoided. If liquid crystal material contact with skin, wash immediately
with alcohol and rinse thoroughly with water.
(4) Never use organic solvents to clear the display panel as these solvent may adversely affect
the polarizer. To clean the display panel dampen a bit of absorbent cotton with petroleum
benzene and gently wipe the panel, or contaminations by using a scotch tape.
(5) Refrain from discharge of high electro-static voltage, it will damage C-MOS LSI in the
MODULE.
(6) Do not leave the MODULE in high temperature, especially in high humidity for a long
time. It is recommended to store the MODULE where the temperature is in the range of
0°C to 35°C and the humidity is lower than 70%.
(7) Store the MODULE without exposure to direct sunlight or fluorescent lamp.
(8) Ultra violet cut filter is necessary for outdoor operation.
(9) Avoid condensation of water, it may cause misoperation or disconnection of electrode.

15.2 OPERATION
(1) Never connect or disconnect the LCD MODULE from the main system while power is
being supplied.
(2) When supplying the M signal from the external unit to a GRAPHIC MODULE, set the
duty to 50%±1%.
If the duty deviates too greatly from the value, a DC voltage will be applied to the liquid
crystal, which could induce an electrochemical reaction and reduce the life of the
MODULE.
(3) Do not exceed the maximum rating values under the worst conditions taking account of
the supply voltage variation, input voltage variation, and environmental temperature, etc.
Otherwise LCD module may be damaged.
