Connecting Multiple Monitors (Continued)

Monitors can be externally controlled using the RS-232C interface (COM port) of a PC, and,
in this case too, multiple monitors can be connected in a daisy chain. By assigning each
monitor an ID number (see page 56), you can perform input switching, adjustment and
status monitoring of individual monitors.

Mounting Options

Please use an optional table stand or wall-mount bracket designed specifically for this
product.
Mounting the table stand (AN-37ST1) (LC-M3700)
Mounting
precautionsThis monitor is equipped with a temporary stand when shipped from the factory. Please
note this stand is for temporary use only until the monitor is properly mounted. Be sure to
use a special-purpose AN-37ST1 table stand or AN-37AG1 wall-mount bracket (both
optional).
2. Detach the temporary stand.
Place the monitor (face down) on a table, etc.
covered by a thick, soft cloth for LCD panel
protection.
Position the monitor near the edge of the table so
that the temporary stand does not hit the table,
then remove the terminal cover.
Unfasten the 4 screws used to secure the
temporary stand in place, then remove the stand.
1. Assemble the table stand.
Align the 5 screw holes of the stand base with
the corresponding screw holes of the stand
hinge. Then attach the stand base to the stand
hinge using the supplied 5 screws (M5 25 mm
length).
3. Attach the table stand assembled in
step 1 to the back of the monitor using
the supplied 4 screws (M5 12 mm
length).
After installation, close the terminal cover, and
adjust the monitor to a suitable angle. (Tilting
range: up to 4˚ forward and 6˚ backward.
Rotating range: up to 10˚ clockwise and
anticlockwise.) See the table stand instructions for details.

Use the weight with the 
string used in Step 1 to 
make sure the bracket 
is perpendicular.
Min. 4mm
Wall Wall
Base bracket
1. Determine the location where the base bracket will be installed.
Take a washer about the size of a coin with a string and align it perpendicular to the base bracket.
Use a pencil, etc., to mark the two screw hole locations.
2. Loosely screw in the screws.
Temporarily remove the base bracket from the wall and loosely screw in 2 off-the-shelf screws in the screw
hole positions marked on the wall. At this time, the screw heads should extend several millimeters above
the wall so that the base bracket can be hung on the screw heads.
Hang the base bracket on the installed screws, check to make sure the bracket is not sagging to the left or
right, and then firmly tighten the screws. Use off-the-shelf screws to secure the remaining screw holes (14 to
18 screws).
Special techniques are required to mount this monitor, so be sure to rely on a specialist
for mounting work. The customer should never perform any of this work himself or
herself. Our company will bear no responsibility for accidents or injuries caused by
improper mounting or handling.Mounting

screws are used when setting the angle in step
3.
2Assemble the wall-mount bracket as desired as
shown in the figure. (Figure shows a 20˚ angle.)
3Use the screws removed in Step 1 (M6 15 mm
length × 2 screws) and the included screws M6
15 mm length × 2 screws to loosely fasten the
angle-setup bracket with 4 screws. Firmly
tighten these 4 screws after the angle-setup
bracket position has been determined.
• When setting the angle of the wall-mount bracket,
be careful not to pinch your fingers, etc.Caution
1. Detach the temporary stand.
Place the monitor (face down) on a table, etc.
covered by a thick, soft cloth for LCD panel
protection.
