safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. PROTECT the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
11. ONLY USE attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. USE ONLY with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. UNPLUG this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14. REFER all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. DO NOT expose this apparatus to dripping or splashing and ensure that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, are placed on
the apparatus.
16. To completely disconnect this apparatus from the AC Mains, disconnect the power supply cord plug from the AC receptacle.
17. Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
18. DO NOT overload wall outlets or extension cords beyond their rated capacity as this can cause electric shock or fire.
The exclamation point, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.
ESD Warning: The icon to the left indicates text regarding potential danger associated with the discharge of static electricity from an outside
source (such as human hands) into an integrated circuit, often resulting in damage to the circuit.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
WARNING: No naked flame sources - such as lighted candles - should be placed on the product.
WARNING: Equipment shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, grounding of the center pin of this plug must be maintained.

Modero VG Series Touch Panels - Instruction Manual
Modero VG Series Touch Panels
Overview
The VG Series of Modero®Touch Panels offer streaming MPEG video, high-definition Component RGB input and display, USB
support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port.
The new G4 graphics and Video/RGB technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program.
These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video).
Multimedia Streaming Video Touch Panels (VG-Series)
Although these panels are similar to the 1200V models, in that they both share connectors for USB communication and Audio/
Video distribution; the VG-Series far exceed those panels by additionally providing RGB Component video display, MPEG streaming
technology, and pass-thru computer control.
These panels are capable of NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized video windows. These VG-Series panels display
HDTV Component video (fed from an external NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box and then through an internal NXA-RGB card). In addition
to composite video support, the new VG-Series of panels now feature USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and pre-installed
antennas for all Table Top models.
Powered by a cutting-edge DSP core, the VG-Series has the muscle to handle digital streaming (both video and audio), in wired or
wireless conf igurations. These Moderos feature full support for standard MPEG-2 streaming video as well as MP3 and AAC
streaming audio.
The NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box (FG2254-11) facilitates the installation and distribution of video (Composite and Component),
data, audio, and pass-thru Computer Control to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the NXA-AVB/RGB box.
The VG-Series of touch panels can be fitted for either Video (Composite) or RGB (Component) via the use of two Kit configurations:
Video Kit and RGB Kit. Each kit comes with its own group of standard components that are specific to its configuration. Although a
panel can be order with either of these kits; a previously fitted Video Kit panel can be later upgraded to accept and display RGB
Component via the use of an RGB upgrade package called the NXA-RGBKIT (FG2255-11). This upgrade kit supplements the
existing Video fitted panel (FG225X-XXV) with such things as an internal NXA-RGB interface card and an external NXA-AVB/RGB
Breakout Box.
The Video Kit f itted units can accept either Composite or S-Video from standard video devices. These Composite video panels
include those listed below:
The Video Kits include the following components:
Modero VG-Series Touch Panel (NXD or NXT) (FG225X-XXV)
M o de ro 1 0’ f o o t Ta b le To p C ab le ( CA2250-50)
NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box (FG2254-10)
These panels are capable of displaying both Composite video and High-Definition Component RGB, bringing together both Video
and RGB capability together into one panel.
Modero Video/RGB-compatible panels utilize an internal NXA-RGB interface card (combined with an external
NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box) to accept and display high-bandwidth and high-quality RGB and HDTV Component video signals.
An existing Video Kit fitted VG-Series touch panel (Video only) can be upgraded to display RGB input by purchasing a separate NXA-
RGBKIT:

Modero VG Series Touch Panels - Instruction Manual
Connecting and Using USB Input Devices
These panels can have up to two USB-capable input devices connected for use both on its different firmware and TPD4 panel
pages. These input devices can consist of a keyboard or mouse.
NOTE: USB-connected input devices are detected and recognized by the panel upon connection. Refer to the Configuring and Using
USB with a Virtual Master section on page 75 for more information on using a USB connection.
1. Insert the input device USB connectors into the appropriate USB connector on the panel.
2. Press the on-screen Reboot button (Protected Setup page) to save any changes and restart the panel.
3. After the panel splash-screen disappears:
If a USB mouse has been connected, a mouse cursor appears on the panel screen and its location corresponds to the
mouse cursor position sent by the external USB mouse.
If a USB keyboard has been connected, only on-screen keyboards and keypads will reflect any external keystrokes sent
from the external USB keyboard.
Cleaning the Touch Overlay
You should clean the touch screen overlay after each day’s use.
Always use clean cotton cloths and a spray bottle containing water.
