Frequently Asked Questions - PC500-FDBFP LG

How do I install the PC500-FDBFP on a monitor?
Place the monitor face down on a soft cloth, remove the opening cover if necessary (for WX50MF models), push the PC500 into the compartment, and secure it with the provided screws. Refer to the manual for model-specific instructions.
What cables are included with the PC500-FDBFP?
The box includes the PC500 unit, a guide bracket, and a power cable. HDMI, DP, LINE-OUT, LAN cables, mouse, and keyboard are optional and must be purchased separately.
How can I connect the PC500 to a monitor using DisplayPort?
Connect the power cables to both devices, then use a standard DP cable to connect the PC500's DP output to the monitor's DP input. Additionally, connect an RS-232C cable for control and a LAN cable for network. Set the monitor's SET ID to 1 for direct connection.
Can I connect multiple monitors to one PC500?
Yes, you can connect multiple monitors using RS-232C daisy-chain. Connect the PC500's RS-232C Out to the first monitor's RS-232C In (SET ID 1), then chain subsequent monitors. Note that DP or HDMI cables cannot be used for multi-monitor connections.
How do I change the default audio output device in Windows?
Go to Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound. Under the Playback tab, right-click the desired device (e.g., Intel Display Audio for HDMI or Realtek HD Audio for LINE-OUT) and select 'Set as Default Device'. Click OK. Some changes may require a restart.
What operating system does the PC500-FDBFP use?
It runs Windows® Embedded Standard 7 P. Note that some units may not include an OS; check your purchase details. The system may have limitations typical of embedded Windows versions.
How do I update video codecs?
You need to install codecs separately. Recommended sites include codecguide.com, shark007.net, or free-codecs.com. Avoid duplicate installations and uninstall previous codec packages before installing a new one.
What should I do if the flash memory battery is discharged?
If you see error '0271: Check date and time' or '0251: System CMOS checksum bad', replace the flash memory battery. It is a consumable part; contact LG Service Center for assistance. Do not attempt replacement yourself unless qualified.
What is the maximum resolution supported?
The maximum resolution via DisplayPort is 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. The recommended resolution is also 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz. Supported resolutions may vary depending on the monitor.
How do I assign the SET ID for the monitor?
