Chapter 1: Introduction
Product Description
Your new touchmonitor combines the reliable performance of Elo Touch Solutions touch
products with the latest developments in touch technology and display design. This combination
of features creates a natural flow of information between the user and the touchmonitor.
This touchmonitor incorporates a 16.2M color, active matrix thin-film-transistor LCD panel to
provide high quality display performance. Its LED backlight significantly reduces power
consumption and eliminates mercury (compared to CCFL-backlit panels). Other features that
enhance this LCD monitor’s performance are Plug & Play compatibility, on-screen display
(OSD) controls, and an optional magnetic stripe reader (MSR).
Precautions
Follow all warnings, precautions and maintenance as recommended in this user manual to
maximize the life of your unit, to ensure user safety, and to prevent risks. See the Safety &
Maintenance chapter for more information.
This manual contains information that is important for the proper setup and maintenance of the
unit. Before setting up and powering on your new touchmonitor, read through this manual,
especially the Installation, Mounting, and Operation chapters.

Chapter 4: Operation
Power
To turn the touchmonitor on or off, press the touchmonitor power button once.
The Power Status LED on the bottom of the touchmonitor functions according to the following
table:
Touchmonitor
status
LED status
OFF OFF
SLEEP PULSING
ON ON
The system consumes low power when in SLEEP and OFF modes. For detailed power
consumption specifications, refer to the technical specifications available on the Elo website
www.elotouch.com.
Touching the screen will bring the attached host PC out of SLEEP mode (similar to moving the
mouse or pressing a keyboard key).
To improve reliability and reduce wasteful power consumption, disconnect the power adapter
when long periods of disuse are planned.
Touch
Your touchmonitor is factory-calibrated and should not need manual calibration (unless the
input video is not fully scaled to the native resolution, or the touch experience needs to be
calibrated to a specific user).

User Manual: 1517L, 1717L
SW601708 Rev E, Page 13 of 25
Video
A display’s native resolution is its width and height measured in number of pixels. Generally, for
best performance, an image displayed on this monitor will look best when your computer’s
output resolution matches this monitor’s native resolution, which is 1024 x 768 for the 15 inch,
or 1280 x 1024 for the 17 inch.
For computer output resolutions at non-native resolutions, the monitor will scale the video to its
panel’s native resolution. This involves stretching or compressing the input image as needed in
the X- and Y-dimensions to fit the display’s native resolution. An unavoidable byproduct of the
scaling algorithms is a loss of fidelity when the computer’s output video image is scaled by the
monitor to fit the display. This loss of fidelity is most apparent when viewing feature-rich images
at close distances (for example images containing small-font text).
Your touchmonitor will likely not require video adjustments. However, for analog VGA video,
variations in video graphic card outputs may require user adjustments through the OSD to
optimize the quality of the touchmonitor’s displayed image. These adjustments are
“remembered” by the touchmonitor. Also, to reduce the need for adjustments for different video
mode timings, the monitor correctly scales and displays some of the video industry’s most
common video timing modes. Refer to the technical specifications for this monitor at
http://www.elotouch.com for a list of these Preset Video Modes.
On-Screen Display (OSD)
Four OSD buttons are on the bottom of the monitor. These can be used to adjust various
display parameters.
The buttons and their functionality are:
Button Function when OSD is not displayed: Function when OSD is displayed:
Menu Display OSD main menu Return to previous OSD menu
Display OSD Brightness submenu Decrease value of selected parameter /
select previous menu item
Display OSD Contrast submenu Increase value of selected parameter /
select next menu item
Select Auto Adjust Select parameter for adjustment /
select submenu to enter

User Manual: 1517L, 1717L
SW601708 Rev E, Page 14 of 25
The OSD buttons control an on-screen graphical user interface, which displays on top of your
input video. This allows for intuitive adjustment of the following display parameters:
Parameter
Available Adjustment
Brightness Increase/decrease monitor brightness
Default: Maximum
Contrast Increase/decrease monitor contrast
Default: Best gray-shade performance
Clock Allows fine adjustments of the panel’s pixel dot clock
Only applicable for VGA input video
Phase Allows fine adjustments of the panel’s pixel dot clock phase
Only applicable for VGA input video
Auto Adjust Automatically adjusts the system clock to the input analog VGA video
signal, affecting the H-position, V-position, Clock, and Phase menu items
Only applicable for VGA input video
H-position Moves the image horizontally on the display in single-pixel increments
Default: Centered
Only applicable for VGA input video
V-position Moves the image vertically on the display in single-pixel increments
Default: Centered
Only applicable for VGA input video
Aspect Ratio
Switches the scaling method between Full Screen and Maintain Aspect
Ratio
Default: Full Screen
Full Screen – scales the X- and Y-dimensions of the input video (up or
down as needed) to the display’s native resolution.
Fill To Aspect Ratio –Assuming a landscape orientation and an input
video
with aspect ratio smaller than 1024 x 768 for the 15-
inch or 1280 x 1024 for
the 17-inch, scales the Y-dimension of the input video (up or down as
needed) to the display’s Y-resolution, and scales the X-dimension to
maintain the input video’s aspect ratio (and fills the rest of the display with
equal black bars on the left and right).
The touchscreen may need recalibration when switching between Aspect
Ratio options.
Sharpness Adjusts sharpness of the displayed images
Default: No sharpness adjustment
Only applicable at non-native input video resolutions
Color
Temperature
Selects the display’s color temperature. The available color temperatures
are 9300K, 7500K, 6500K, 5500K, and User Defined. If the User Defined
option is selected, the user can change the color temperature by changing
individual R, G, and B gains on a scale from 0 to 100.
Default: User Defined with R, G, and B all set to 100

User Manual: 1517L, 1717L
SW601708 Rev E, Page 15 of 25
OSD Timeout
Adjusts how long a period of OSD button inactivity the touchmonitor will
wait before closing the OSD. The adjustable range is between 5 and 60
seconds.
Default: 15 seconds
OSD Language
Selects which language the OSD information is displayed in. The available
languages are: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Simplified
Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese
Default: English
Recall Defaults Selecting “Recall Defaults” restores all factory default settings for
OSD-adjustable parameters (except OSD Language) and for Preset Video
Mode timings.
Video Source
The monitor continually scans for active video on the VGA and DVI
connectors. This adjustment selects which of those input ports should be
given priority to be displayed.
The options are: VGA Priority, DVI Priority
Default: DVI Priority
All touchmonitor adjustments made through the OSD are automatically memorized as soon as
they are entered. This feature saves you from having to reset your choices every time the
touchmonitor is unplugged or powered off and on. If there is a power failure, the touchmonitor
settings will not default to the factory specifications.
OSD and Power Lockouts
Press and hold the “Menu” and “Down” buttons for two seconds to enable/disable the OSD
Locking feature. When the OSD Locking is enabled, pressing any of the Menu, Up, Down, or
Select keys will have no effect on the system.
Press and hold the “Menu” and “Up” buttons for two seconds to enable/disable the Power
Locking feature. When the Power Locking is enabled, pressing the power switch will have no
effect on the system.
