GettinG Started with CybtouCh 8
Depending on software evolutions and the press brake controlled by the CybTouch
(configuration/capabilities), the present manual may not fully correspond to the CybTouch
that you currently have. However, differences are only minor.
Touchscreens are pressure
sensitive.
Do not press down hard on the
screen.
Pressing hard on the screen will
damage the display. Such damage
is not covered by manufacturer
warranty!
Do not use sharp and/or pointed objects (sheet metal, screwdriver, metal pen ball, etc.) to
touch the screen; only use your fingers (with or without gloves on) or a plastic pen. Make
sure that your gloves do not have metal particles encrusted in the finger tips as they may
also damage the screen.
Take a few minutes to practice pressing gently on the screen, you will find that the screen
is very reactive and it is pleasant to use.
