NATIVE RESOLUTION
The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution level at which the LCD pa nel is designed to perform
best. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, the native resolution is 1280 x 1024 for the SXGA-17 inch size.
In almost all cases, screen i mages look best when viewed at the ir native resolution. You ca n lower the
resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it.
Input Video 17" LCD
640 x 480 (VGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
800 x 600 (SVGA) Tra nsf orms input f ormat to 1280 x 1024
1024 x 768 (XGA) Transforms input format to 1280 x 1024
1280 x 1024 (SXGA) Displays in Native Resolution
The native resolution of a n LCD is the a ctual number of pixels horizontally in the LCD by the number of
pixels vertically in the LCD. LCD resolution is usually represented by the following symbols:
VGA 640 x 480
SVGA 800 x 600
XGA 1024 x 768
SXGA 1280 x 1024
UXGA 1600 x 1200
A-25
As a n example, a SV GA resolution LCD pa nel has 800 pixels horizontally by 600 pixels vertically . Input
video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video ha s a format of 1024 pixels horizontally
by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native
resolution of the pa nel, there is a one to one correspondence of ma pping of input video pixels to LCD
pixels. As a n exa mple, the pixel in column 45 a nd row 26 of the input video is in column 45 a nd row 26
of the LCD. For the case when the input video is at a lower resolution than the native resolution of the
LCD, the direct correspondence between the video pixels a nd the LCD pixels is lost. The LCD controller ca n compute the correspondence between video pixels a nd LCD pixels using algorithms contained
on its controller. The a ccura cy of the algorithms determines the fidelity of conversion of video pixels
to LCD pixels. Poor fidelity conversion can result in artifacts in the LCD displayed image such as
varying width characters.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
I. Electrical Safety Information:
A) Complia nce is required with respect to the voltage, frequency , a nd current require ments
indicated on the ma nufacturer¡¦ s la bel. Connection to a different power source than those
specified herein will likely result in improper operation, da mage to the equi pment or pose a fire
hazard if the limitations are not followed.
B) There are no operator serviceable parts inside this equi pment. There are hazardous voltages
generated by this equipment which constitute a safety hazard. Service should be provided only by
a qualified service technicia n.
C) This equipment is provided with a deta cha ble power cord which has a n integral safety ground
wire intended for connection to a grounded safety outlet.
1) Do not substitute the cord with other tha n the provided a pproved type. Under no circum
sta nces use a n adapter plug to connect to a 2-wire outlet a s this will defeat the continuity of
the grounding wire.
2) The equipment requires the use of the ground wire a s a part of the safety certification,
modification or misuse ca n provide a shock hazard that ca n result in serious injury or death.
3) Contact a qualified electrician or the ma nufa cturer if there are questions a bout the
installation prior to connecting the equipment to mains power .
II. Emissions and Immunity Information
A) Notice to Users in the U nited States: This equi pment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Cla ss B digital device, pursua nt to Part 15 of FCC Rule s. These li mits are
designed to provide reasona ble protection against harmful interference in a residenti al installation.
This equipment generates, uses, a nd can radiate ra dio frequency energy , a nd if not installed and
used in accorda nce with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to ra dio
communications.
B) Notice to Users in Cana da: This equi pment complies with the Cla ss B limits f or ra dio noise
emissions from digital apparatus a s esta blished by the Radio Interference Regulations of
Industrie Ca nada.
C) Notice to Users in the European Union: Use only the provided power cords and
interconnecting cabling provided with the equipment. Substitution of provided cords a nd ca bling
may compromise electrical safety or CE Mark Certification for e missions or i mmunity a s re
quired by the following sta ndards:
36
This Information T echnology Equi pment (ITE) is required to have a CE Mark on the
ma nufacturer’s la bel which mea ns that the equi pment has been tested to the following
Directives a nd Sta ndards:
This equipment ha s been tested to the requirements for the CE M ark as required by EMC
Directive 89/336/EEC indicated in Europea n Sta ndard EN 55 022 Cla ss B a nd the Low
Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC as indicated in European Standard EN 60 950.
D) General Inf ormation to all Users: This equipment generate s, uses a nd ca n ra di ate ra dio
frequency energy . If not installed a nd used according to this ma nual the equi pment may cause
interference with ra dio a nd television communications. There is, however , no guara ntee that
interference will not occur in a ny particular installation due to site-specific fa ctors.
1) In order to meet emission a nd i mmunity requirements, the user must observe the
following:
a) Use only the provided I/O cables to connect this digital device with any
computer.
b) T o ensure complia nce, use only the provided ma nufa cturer’s approved line
cord.
c) The user is cautioned that cha nges or modifications to the equi pment not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compli a nce could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
2) If this equipment a ppears to cause interference with ra dio or television reception, or any
other device:
a) Verify a s a n emission source by turning the equi pment off a nd on.
b) If you determine that this equipment is causing the interference, try to correct the
interference by using one or more of the following mea sures:
i) Move the digital device away from the affected receiver.
ii) Reposition (turn) the digital device with respect to the af fected rece iver .
iii) Reorient the af fected receiver¡¦ s a ntenna.
iv) Plug the digital device into a different AC outlet so the digital device a nd
the receiver are on different branch circuits.
v) Disconnect a nd re move a ny I/O ca bles that the digital device does not use.
(Unterminated I/O cable s are a potential source of high RF emission levels.)
vi) Plug the digital device into only a grounded outlet receptacle. Do not use
AC a dapter plugs. (Removing or cutting the line cord ground may increa se RF
emission levels a nd may also present a lethal shock hazard to the user .)
If you need additional help, consult your dealer , ma nufa cturer, or a n experienced ra dio or television
technician.
