Take care during handling the LCD module with backlight unit.

Must mount the module using mounting holes arranged in four corners.
• Do not press on the panel, edge of the frame strongly or electric shock as this will result in damage to the screen.
• Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as pencil or pen as this may result in damage to the panel.
• Protect the module from the ESD as it may damage the electronic circuit (C-MOS).
• Make certain that treatment person’s body are grounded through wrist band.
• Do not leave the module in high temperature and in areas of high humidity for a long time.
• The module not be exposed to the direct sunlight.
• Avoid contact with water as it may a short circuit within the module.
• If the surface of panel become dirty, please wipe it off with a soft material. (Cleaning with a dirty or rough cloth may damage the panel.)

If you want to replace with the new backlight (CCFL) or LIPS part, must disconnect the AC power because high voltage appears at inverter circuit about 650Vrms.

Handle with care wires or connectors of the inverter circuit. If the wires are pressed cause short and may burn or take fire.

Adjustment

Apply to 58.4 cm (23 inch) Wide monitor made in Monitor Factory Gumi Korea) or made in accordance with the standard of Gumi Factory process.

Adjustment must be done as fixed sequence, and adjustment sequence can be modified after agreement with the responsible R&D engineer considering mass-production condition.
