C HAPTER 3 O PERATION
About Touchmonitor Adjustments
By design, your Elo Entuitive touchmonitor should not require any adjustments.
The factory settings will give you optimum video results with most standard PC
video display adapters.
However, after connecting your touchmonitor you can further optimize the
settings to meet your requirements by following the directions in this chapter.
All adjustments you make to the controls are automatically memorized, so you
do not need to reset your choices every time you unplug your touchmonitor or
power it off and on. If there is a power failure your touchmonitor settings will
not default to the factory specifications.
I MPORTANT : Do not remove the CRT touchmonitor cover. The touchmonitor uses high voltages, and
the metal edges inside the touchmonitor cover are sharp. Removing the touchmonitor
cover voids the warranty.
