Appendix C
Taking care of your tablet LCD monitor
1. Always disconnect the power cord from the Centurion tablet LCD monitor before
making any installation. Make sure both the system and external devices are
turned off, and that the monitor is properly grounded.
2. Turn off the system power before cleaning. Clean the system using a cloth with
some mild detergent only. Do not spray any liquid cleaner directly onto the
screen, but spray the cleaner on a cloth first before wiping the screen.
3. Avoid using other objects than the digital pen to operate the system. Scratches
on the screen may cause malfunction or internal failure to the unit.
4. Do not open or attempt to disassemble the unit, but leave reparations to a quali-
fied technician.
5. The Centurion tablet LCD monitor is fortified with an extra thick case, which
makes it sturdy, but not invulnerable. Don’t put too much weight on the screen.

Troubleshooting
-Always connect the Centurion tablet
LCD monitor to the same USB-port as
the one you used during the installation
of the device driver. Not doing so may
cause the digital pen to malfunction. If
you need to connect to a different USB-
port you must reinstall the driver (see
chapter 2 of this manual).
The digital pen doesn’t func-
tion. - Please check the status of the battery
of your digital pen.
