PRECAUTION IN DESIGN 11. 1 MOUNTING PRECAUTION Please mount the LCD Module using mounting holes arranged in 4 corners, and please pay attention to the follow ings. The module Spacer Spacer Customer's housing Protective spacer Example of mounting 198.5±0.2 106.0 18.0 6.0 Upper panel Protective spacer 4-∅5.0 Low er panel Spacer 4-∅6.0 99.0 Location of spacers Unit : mm Scale : NTS (1) To prevent the module cover from being pressed, the distance betw een the module and the fitting plate, w hich means the lenght of the spacers, should be shorter than 1.0mm. (2) We recommend you to use protective spacers in order to protect the module from any kinds of shocks to your set. 11.2 PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE As this module contains C-MOS LSIs, it is not strong against electrostatic discharge. Make certain that the operator's body is connected to the ground through a list band etc. And don't touch I/F pins directly. Displays, Date June 29, '99 Hitachi, Ltd. Sh. No. 3284PS 2711 - SX21V001-Z4 - 3 Page 11-1/3 11.3 POWER ON SEQUENCE Input signals should not be applied to LCD module before pow er supply voltage is applied and reaches to specified voltage (3.3±0.15V). If the above sequence is not kept, C-MOS LSIs of LCD module may be damaged due to latch up phenomenon. 11.4 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS (1) Since the polarizer on the top, and the aluminum plate on the bottom tend to be easily damaged, they should be handled w ith full care so as not to get them touched, pushed or rubbed by a piece on glass, tw eezers and anything else w hich are harder than a pencil lead 3H. (2) As the adhesives used for adhering upper/low er polarizers and aluminum plate are made of organic substances w hich w ill be deteriorated by a chemical reaction w ith such chemicals as acetone, tuluene, ethanole and isopropylalcohol. The follow ing solvents are recommended for use : Normal hexane Please contact us w hen it is necessary for you to use chemicals other than the above. (3) Lightly w ipe to clean the dirty surface w ith absorbent cotton or other soft material like chamois, soaked in the recommended chemicals w ithout scrubbing it hardly. Alw ays w ipe the surface horizontally or vertically. Never give a w ipe in a circle. To prevent the display surface from damage and keep the appearance in good state, it is sufficient, in general, to w ipe it w ith absorbent cotton. (4) Immediately w ipe off saliva or w ater drop attached on the display area because it may cause deformation or faded color. (5) Fogy dew deposited on the surface may cause a damage, stain or dirt to the polarizer. When you need to take out the LCD module from some place at low temperature for test, etc. It is required to be w armed them up to be temperature higher than room temperature before taking them out. (6) Touching the display area or I/F pins w ith bare hands or contaminating them are prohibited, because the stain on the display area and poor insulation betw een terminals are often caused by being touched w ith bare hands. (Some cosmetics are detrimental to polarizers.) (7) In general, the glass is fragile so that it, especially on its periphery, tends to be cracked or chipped in handling. Please do not give the LCD module sharp shocks caused by falling etc. (8) Maximum pressure to the surface must be less than 1.96×104 Pa (0.2kgf/cm2). And if the pressure area is less than 1cm2, maximum pressure must be less than 1.96N (0.2kgf). (9) Since the metal w idth is narrow on these locations (see page 9-1/3), please be careful w ith handling. Displays, Sh. Date June 29, '99 Hitachi, Ltd. No. 3284PS 2711 - SX21V001-Z4 - 3 Page 11-2/3 11.5 OPERATION PRECAUTION (1) Using a LCM module beyond its maximum ratings may result in its permanent destruction. LCM module's should usually be used under recommended operating conditions show n in chapter 5. Exceeding any of these conditions may adversely affect its reliability. (2) Response time w ill be extremely delayed at low er temperature than the specified operating temperature range and on the other hand LCD's show s dark blue color at higher temperature. How ever those phenomena do not mean defects of the LCD module. Those phenomena w ill disappear in the specified operating temperature range. (3) If the display area is pushed hard during operation, some display patterns w ill be abnormally displayed. (4) A slight dew depositing on terminals may cause electrochemical reaction w hich leads to terminal open circuit. Please operate the LCD module under the relative condition of 40°C 85%RH. 11.6 STORAGE In case of storing LCD module for a long period of time (for instance, for years) for the purpose of replacement use, the follow ing precautions necessary. (1) Store the LCD modules in a dark place ; do not expose them to sunlight or ultraviolet rays. (2) Keep the temperature betw een 10°C and 35°C at normal humidity. (3) Store the LCD modules in the container w hich is used for shipping from us. 11.7 SAFETY The LCD modules include Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CFL). CFL contains a small amount of mercury. Please follow local ordinances or regulations for disposal. Displays, Date June 29, '99 Hitachi, Ltd. Sh. 3284PS 2711 - SX21V001-Z4 - 3 No. Page 11-3/3 12.

PRECAUTION FOR USE (1) A limit sample should be provided by the both parities on an occasion w hen the both parties agree to its necessity. Judgment by a limit sample shall take effect after the limit sample has been established and confirmed by the both parties. (2) On the follow ing occasions, the handling of the problem should be decided through discussion and agreement betw een responsible persons of the both parties. (1) (2) (3) When a question is arisen in the specifications. When a new problem is arisen w hich is not specified in the specifications. When an inspection specification change or operating condition change by customer is reported to HITACHI, and some problem is arisen in the specification due to the change. (4) When a new problem is arisen at the customer's operating set for sample evaluation (3) Regarding the treatment for maintenance and repairing, both parties w ill discuss it in six month later after latest delivery of this product. The precaution that should be observed w hen handling LCM have been explained above. If any points are unclear or if you have any requests, please contact Hitachi. Displays, Sh.
