LCD PANEL

When the monitor is cold and brought into a room or the room temperature goes up quickly,
dew condensation may occur inside and outside the monitor. In that case, do not turn the
monitor on and wait until dew condensation disappears, otherwise it may cause some
damages to it.

In order to suppress the luminosity change by long-term use and to maintain the stable
luminosity, please use the monitor with the lower brightness.

The screen may have defective pixels. These pixels may appear as slightly light or dark area
on the screen. This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not the product.

The backlight of the LCD panel has a fixed life span. When the screen becomes dark or
begins to flicker, please contact your dealer.

Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly, as this may result in damage to the
screen. There will be prints left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. If
pressure is repeatedly applied to the screen, it may deteriorate or damage your LCD panel.
Leave the screen white to decrease the prints.

Do not scratch or press on the panel with any sharp objects, such as a pencil or pen as this
may result in damage to the panel. Do not attempt to brush with tissues as this may scratch
the LCD panel.

4. ADJUSTMENT

This touchmonitor will not likely require adjustment. Variations in video output and
application may require adjustments to the touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the
display.
For best performance, the touchmonitor should be operating in native resolution 1600 x

1200. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1600 x 1200 resolution.

Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance.
All control adjustments are automatically memorized.

4.3 Screen Adjustment

Screen adjustments for the LCD monitor should be used in suppressing screen flickering
and also for adjusting the screen to its proper position. There is only one correct po sition for
each display mode. It is also recommended to use the OSD Menu function when first
installing the display or whenever changing the system.
Note: Allow the LCD monitor to stabilize for at least 20 minutes before making image
adjustments.Making Adjustting must be VGA signal.

Adjustment Procedure

1. Adjust by <Auto Adjust> menu in the OSD Menu.

To automatically adjust the clock, phase, screen position and resolution.

Note:

The Auto sizing function is intended for use on the computer run ning Wi ndows. It may not
work properly when the computer is running on MS-DOS (N ot windows) or the background
color for the "wall paper" or "desktop" pattern is set to black.
If the appropriate screen cannot be made by using the Auto adjustment button, adjust the
screen through the following procedures.

Select the <Phase> and eliminate the horizontal flickering, blurring or bars by using the
Right and Left buttons.

Note: Horizontal bars may not completely disappear from the screen depending on the

The <Position> adjustment moves the image to the correct position. Select <Position> and
adjust the position by using the Up and Down buttons.
If vertical bars of distortion appear after finishing the <Position> adjustment, return to

there is no problem with the monitor. (Some PCs do not
output the signal soon after powering on.)

Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the PC or
graphics board.

Adjust the image position using the <Position>. If the
problem persists, use the graphics board's utility software to
change the display position if available.

Decrease the horizontal bars using the <Clock>.

4 Horizontal bars of

distortion appear.

Decrease the horizontal bars using the <Phase>.

5 The screen is too

bright or too dark.

6. Afterimages appear.

7. The screen has
defective pixels
(e.g. slightly light

6. CLEANING

Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its
operation lifetime.
Note: Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or isopropyl alcohol),
abrasive cleaners, or other strong solvents, as these may cause damage to the cabinet or
LCD panel.
