GENERAL
ABOUT THIS MANUAL
• 28-pin auxiliary connection
• RAM mount
USB FLASH DRIVE
Display kits include a USB Flash Drive which you can use to save and transfer your data in and out of
the display.
COLOR TOUCH SCREEN
The display features a color touch screen display. The touch screen allows easy and intuitive navigation
through the screens on the display without the need for any external keypad or mouse devices. Here are
a few key things to remember if you are new to using a touch screen device:
• Do not use any sharp objects for running the touch screen device, this could result in damage to the
display. Using the tip of a finger is the recommended method of operating the display touch screen.
• Do not use any harsh chemicals to clean the touch screen. Using a damp soft cloth or an anti-static wipe
made specifically for cleaning computer displays is the correct way to clean the screen and the
enclosure.
• The touch screen requires only a gentle touch of about half-second in duration to operate correctly. A
common mistake is to try to navigate too quickly through the system using firm taps instead of gentle
presses.
CAN BUS TECHNOLOGY
This system uses Controller Area Network (CAN) technology. CAN systems are comprised of individual
modules, each with their own high speed processor, connected through a high-speed communications
cable. CAN has many benefits, including greater ability to configure and expand the system,
compatibility, simpler installations with less wiring, and increased system dependability.
