If the LCD display element is broken and the liquid crystal solution leaks out
of the display and onto your hands, clothing etc, wash your hands or clothing
immediately with soap or alcohol, holding them under running water for at
least 15 minutes. If the liquid comes into contact with your eyes, please
consult a doctor immediately.
Generally you should connect IT-devices only to power supply systems with
separately guided protective earth conductor (PE), known as TN-S networks.
Do not use PEN conductors! Please also observe the recommendations of
the norm DIN VDE 0100, part 540, Appendix C2, as well as EN50174-2,
§5.4.3.

BASIC OPERATION
Before switching on the device
Unpacking and checking the device
Unpack the parts and check to see whether the delivery matches the information
on the delivery note.
The delivery contains the basic unit and country-specific accessories.
If damage has occurred during shipping or if the package contents do not match
the delivery note, promptly inform your Wincor Nixdorf sales outlet.
Transport the device only in its original packaging (to protect it against impact and
shock).
Setting up the device
Set up the BEETLE iDOT POS system where it will not be exposed to extreme
environmental conditions. Protect the device from vibrations, dust, moisture, heat
and strong magnetic fields.
If the device is to be fitted, ensure that the specified minimum distances are
maintained and constant ventilation is provided. The minimum distance upwards
is 10mm. The immediate ambient temperature of the system must not exceed
40°C / 104 °F. These requirements are met, for example, if the equipment is not
built into an enclosed piece of furniture.
Cabling
Always make sure that the system is switched off when you do cabling works.
Never unplug acable by pulling the cable but takehold of the actual plug
itself.

15” LCD Monitor with Touch Screen
13 BEETLE iDOT POS System –Operating Manual 01750098309 A
15” LCD Monitor with Touch Screen
The BEETLE iDOT kiosk system’s user display is realized using a 15” BA73A LCD
monitor with touch sreen function.
How to operate
The touch screen function works according to the principle of a change in analog
capacitance. It has a glass screen with a transparent, thin-film overlay on the
surface. This is fully sealed and protected by a further layer of clear glass.
Electrodes on the edges of the screen provide a uniform low-voltage field. As soon
as you touch the screen with your finger the contact point is “recognized” by the
change in capacitance.
As touch screen responds to the slightest contact, you do not have to apply much
pressure when working with the screen, therefore, apply only a little pressure with
the fingertip.
In this capacitive process, only fingertip contact is recognized. The screen
does not react in any way if touched, for example, with a pencil or a glove.
Touch screen and sleep mode
Using the touch screen with a BEETLE Pentium CPU, an entry via touch during
sleep mode may lead to faulty input. During sleep mode nothing can be read from
the LCD flat screen. Entries via touching the screen will still be processed by the
system, but without the system “waking up”.
For these reasons, it is not recommended toset system to sleep mode. For further
details, please read the “BIOS Setup” information in the “POS Motherboard” user
guide.

Cleaning Instructions
Always turn off the system before cleaning.
The glass surface of the touch screen should be cleaned with a mild,
commercially available glass cleaning product. All pH neutral materials (pH 6
to 8) are good for cleaning. Cleaners with pH values 9 to 10 are not
recommended. Cleaning with water and isopropyl alcohol is possible as well.
Donot use solvents containing acetic acid.
Use a soft, fine-meshed cloth to clean the surface. Dampen the cloth slightly and
then clean the screen.
