Touch screen instructions

This chapter contains the following topics:

Touch Screen Calibration

User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen Attentions when using the Touch Screen

User Guide 15

The monitor is touch-sensitive thanks to its touch-sensitive screen. A touch screen is an input device just like a mouse or a keyboard, and the user’s fingers transmit position information via the touch screen to the computer. With this technology, you only need to touch the pictures or words on the computer display lightly with your finger, and the computer will react.

Touch Screen Calibration

Prior to first use or whenever the touch screen reacts in a different place where you are touching it, start the calibration program. The procedure is as follows:

1.In Control Panel, select “Hardware and Sound”.

2.In “Hardware and Sound” window, select “Tablet PC Settings”.

3.In “Tablet PC Settings” dialogue, click “Calibrate” button.

User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen

The Touch screen supports single touch and rotational movements, enlargement and reduction multi-touch operations, and the user can transmit position information to the computer via touch. The touch screen uses a very low pressure movement recognition method, which only needs the finger to move lightly on the computer display screen or make a simple hand gesture to be detected by the main computer processor.

16 User Guide
