This section is going to brief on the settings of the touch monitor and how to troubleshoot
the device in the event of a trouble/failure. Since TMO07-DV and TMO101-DV do not offer
OSD and related functions, this chapter may not apply to these models.

2.1.2 Touch
The touch monitor is factory calibrated and does not require manual calibration unless

resolution of the PC/master device matches the resolution of the touch monitor.
In most cases, the touch monitor will not require video adjustments. For output
resolutions at non-native resolutions, users can navigate to settings and select the
resolution scale that suits the native resolution of the touch monitor.
