Find “calibration” from UPDD in All programs and complete the calibration for your touch system at the
first time of touch system integration and every time you changed the touch screen sensor or controller.
Chapter 3 3 OPERATION
3.1 About Touch monitor Adjustments
Your touch monitor will not likely require adjustment. Variations in video output and
application may require adjustments to your touch monitor to optimize the quality of the
display. For best performance, your touch monitor should be operating in native resolution,
that is 1280×1024 at 80k-75 Hz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1280
×1024 resolution. Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further
information, please refer to Appendix A.
All control adjustments are automatically memorized. This feature saves you from having
to reset your choices every time you unplug or power your touch monitor off and on. If there
is a power failure, your touch monitor settings will not default to the factory specifications

Chapter 4 4. . TROUBLESHOOTING
If you are experiencing trouble with your touch monitor, refer to the following table. If the
problem persists, please contact your local dealer or our service center.
Solutions to Common Problems
Problem Suggestion(s)
The monitor does not respond
after you turn on the system 1) Check that the monitor’s Power Switch is on. 2) Turn off the power and check the monitor’s power
cord and signal cable for proper connection.
Characters on the screen are dim Refer to the About Touch monitor Adjustments section
to adjust the brightness.
The screen is blank 1) During operation, the monitor screen may
automatically turn off as a result of the Power Saving
feature. Press any key to see if the screen reappears.
2) Refer to the About Touch monitor Adjustments
section to adjust the brightness.
Screen flashes when initialized Turn the monitor off then turn it on again.
“Out of Range” display Check to see if the resolution of your computer is higher
than that of the LCD display. Reconfigure the resolution
of your computer to make it is less than or equal to 1024
×768. See Appendix A for more information on
resolution.
Touch doesn’t work Make sure the touch cable is securely attached at both
ends.
Chapter 5 5. . NATIVE RESOLUTION
The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD panel is
designed to perform best. For the LCD touch monitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for
the 19 inch size. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native
resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.
Input Video 19" LCD
640 x 480 (VGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
800 x 600 (SVGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
1024 x 768 (XGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
1280 x 1024(SXGA) Displays in Native Resolution
The native resolution of an LCD is the actual number of pixels horizontally in the LCD by
the number of pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is usually represented by the
following symbols:
VGA 640 x 480
SVGA 800 x 600
XGA 1024 x 768
SXGA 1280 x 1024
UXGA 1600 x 1200

9 - 11 LCDOpenframeSAWTouchMonitor
As an example, a SXGA resolution LCD panel has 1280 pixels horizontally by 1024
pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. SXGA input video has a
format of 1280 pixels horizontally by 1024 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained
in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one to one
correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels. As an example, the pixel in
column 45 and row 26 of the input video is in column 45 and row 26 of the LCD. For the case
when the input video is at a lower resolution than the native resolution of the LCD, the direct
correspondence between the video pixels and the LCD pixels is lost. The LCD controller can
compute the correspondence between video pixels and LCD pixels using algorithms contained
on its controller. The accuracy of the algorithms determines the fidelity of conversion of video
pixels to LCD pixels. Poor fidelity conversion can result in artifacts in the LCD displayed
image such as varying width characters.
Chapter 6 6. . TOUCHMONITOR SAFETY
This manual contains information that is important for the proper setup and maintenance
of your touch monitor. Before setting up and powering on your new touch monitor, read
through this manual, especially Chapter 2 (Installation), and Chapter 3 (Operation).
1 To reduce the risk of electric shock, follow all safety notices and never open the touch
monitor case.
2 Turn off the product before cleaning.
3 The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
4 The slots located on the sides and top of the touch monitor case are for ventilation. Do not
block or insert anything inside the ventilation slots.
5 It is important that your touch monitor remains dry. Do not pour liquid into or onto your
touch monitor. If your touch monitor becomes wet do not attempt to repair it yourself.
Care and Handling of Your Touch monitor
The following tips will help keep your touch monitor functioning at the optimal level.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the brick supply or display unit cabinet.
The unit is not user serviceable. Remember to unplug the display unit from the power outlet
before cleaning.
• Do not use alcohol (methyl, ethyl or isopropyl) or any strong dissolvent. Do not use thinner
or benzene, abrasive cleaners or compressed air.
• To clean the display unit cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent.
• Avoid getting liquids inside your touch monitor. If liquid does get inside, have a qualified
service technician check it before you power it on again.
• To clean the touch screen, use window or glass cleaner. Put the cleaner on the rag and wipe
the touch screen. Never apply the cleaner directly on the touch screen.
