Please take a moment to try out
your touch screen itself.
To select a function, place your
finger on the main temp display
and give a short firm touch. Try a
"tap" of the finger or stylus. Your
input must last long enough for the
system to determine it is not an
accidental 'bump".
Using the stylus is more
comfortable for some users, and
work well in dry climates. Again
allow the system enough time to
recognize your inputs. When you
are comfortable with touch inputs,
proceed.
