Handling the Touchscreen
Do not place any object on the surface or press down forcefully with sharp-pointed ob-
jects (e.g., nails), hard objects that can leave marks (e.g., pencils and ball point pens).
Do not apply pressure within 5 mm of the perimeter of the display panel. The cursor may
move to the edge of the display.
Do not operate the computer when such things as dust are on the screen, or allow contact
with substances that could dirty the touchscreen, such as oil. The cursor may not work
properly in such cases.
When the touchscreen becomes dirty:
Use a dry soft cloth such as a gauze to clean the dirty areas.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or disinfectant- type alcohol.
The touchscreen function can not be used when using the full screen in [Command
Prompt].
When the operation of panning is performed, the touchscreen function will not work
properly.
If a change is made to the screen resolution, or the cursor can not be pointed correctly
with the finger or stylus, be sure to perform calibration.
