Page 12 of 17 12. Supply Voltage Sequence Condition DO NOT apply DC voltage to the LCD panel. A DC voltage will induce an irreversible electro-chemical reaction and reduce LCD life. Always follow the power supply ON/OFF sequence of VDD first, input signals second, VEE third, and finally DISP. This will prevent DC driving of the LCD or CMOS LSI latch-up as shown below. 13.

Lot Number Identification The lot number shall be indicated on the back of the backlight case of each LCD. KCS057QV1AA - G03 15. Warranty 15.1 Please inspect the LCD within 30 days of your receipt. 15.2 Production Warranty Kyocera warrants its LCDs for a period of 12 months after receipt by the purchaser, and within the limits specified. Kyocera shall, by mutual agreement, replace or rework defective LCDs that are shown to be Kyocera�s responsibility. 16. Precautions in Use 16.1 Installation of the LCD 1. Please ground either of the mounting (screw) holes located at each corner of an LCD module in order to stabilize brightness and display quality. 2. A transparent protection plate shall be added to protect the LCD and its polarizers. 3. The LCD shall be installed so that there is no pressure on the LSI chips. 4. The LCD shall be installed flat, without twisting or bending. 5. The display window size should be the same as the effective viewing area. 6. Image quality outside the effective viewing area is not warranted. 16.2 Static electricity 1. Since CMOS ICs are mounted directly onto the LCD glass, protection from static electricity is required. Operators should wear ground straps. 16.3 LCD operation 1. The LCD shall be operated within the limits specified. Operation at values outside of the specified limits may shorten life and/or harm display images. 2. Vop must be adjusted to optimize viewing angle and contrast. 3. Operation of the LCD at temperatures below the limit specified may cause image degradation and/or bubbles. It may also change the characteristics of the liquid crystal. This phenomenon may not recover. The LCD shall be operated within the temperature limits specified. 16.4 Storage 1. The LCD shall be stored within the temperature and humidity limits specified. Store in a dark area, and protect the LCD from direct sunlight or fluorescent light. 2. The LCD should be packaged to prevent damage. Page 15 of 17 16.5 Screen surface 1. DO NOT store in a high humidity environment for extended periods. Image degradation, bubbles, and/or peeling off of polarizers may result. 2. The front polarizer is easily scratched or damaged. Prevent touching it with any hard material, and from being pushed or rubbed. 3. The LCD screen may be cleaned with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Methanol or Isopropyl Alcohol may be used, but insure that all solvent residue is removed. 4. Water may cause damage or discoloration of the polarizer. Clean any con- densation or moisture from any source immediately. 5. Always keep the LCD free from condensation during testing. Condensation may permanently spot or stain the polarizers. 17.
