Page 169 Appendix A Handling the LCD Module Precautions for Handling the LCD Module The LCD module can be easily damaged during assembly or disassembly. Observe the following precautions when handling the LCD module. When installing the LCD module in the LCD cover, be sure to seat it so that it is properly aligned and maximum visibility of the display is maintained.
Page 170 If the panel’s surface gets dirty, wipe it with cotton or a soft cloth. If it is still dirty, try breathing on the surface to create a light condensate and wipe it again. If the surface is very dirty, we recommend a CRT cleaning agent. Apply the agent to a cloth and then wipe the panel’s surface.
Page 171 CMOS-LSI circuits are used in the module, so guard against damage from electro- static discharge. Be sure to wear a wrist or ankle ground when handling the module. Do not expose the module to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet rays for long periods.
Page 172 Do not disassemble the LCD module. Disassembly can cause malfunctions. If you transport the module, do not use packing material that contains epoxy resin (amine) or silicon glue (alcohol or oxime). These materials can release gas that can damage the panel's polarization. 200 Series...
