The TouchBlock unit
A temperature probe
A wall mountable docking station
A template for mounting the dock
Wall anchors and screws
An AC Charger
The Users Manual

1.2 Using TouchBlock for the rst time

1.2.1 Mounting the dock on the wall

Adhere the included template to the wall near an electrical outlet that the charger can be plugged
into. (See the image on the opposite page to help identify the wall template.)

Drill holes

2 3

Drill the 4 holes as indicated on the template.

Push the anchors into the wall and then hammer them in until flush with the wall.

Place the dock against the wall and line up the holes with the anchors.

Screw the screws into the anchors through the holes on the dock.

Plug the charger into the nearby outlet and attach the end of the cord to the underside of the dock. A
green light on the front of the dock will illuminate if it is plugged in properly.

1.2.2 Charging the battery

The TouchBlock battery will come with a partial charge from the factory, but the unit will
not activate until it is placed in the dock for the first time. It is recommended that you leave the unit in
the dock for at least 8 hours the first time to assure a complete charge. The TouchBlock unit should be
returned to the dock after each use to send the collected information and keep the unit at full charge.

TouchBlock User’s Guide

If the is a loss of power that results in a complete discharge of the battery, please allow the
unit to charge for at least 30 minutes prior to use. This will prevent the unit from losing data during
the collection after the power is restored.

1.3 Introduction to TouchBlock 1.2

The TouchBlock 1.2 unit electronically gathers, records and reports product specific data
that is used in maintaining day-to-day operations of your business and can be tailored to the specific
needs of any individual type of business. It can be used to complete simple checklists, for tracking
current inventory and ordering replacement items, as well as monitoring temperature of foods to
maintain proper food safety. This can be done with either a fixed temperature probe or a portable
one, depending on preference.

Use of TouchBlock eliminates pencil and paper data collection and immediately posts data to a web
portal for viewing and approved corrective action, if necessary. Every activity is time-stamped and
cannot be altered on the unit, so you know you will get accurate data every time. The web application
that the unit transmits the data to warehouses irrefutable compliance documentation history for trend
analysis and future reference.

1.4 About the TouchBlock 1.2

The TouchBlock 1.2 is an easy to use process management and food safety device that can
be fully customized to any restaurant or caterer’s particular needs. The system provides real time data
capture that is posted to the web either manually or at predetermined times that are programmed into
the unit. It can even be used to complete an inventory check to be utilized when placing orders from
food service vendors.

1.5 Product Summary

Touchblock RM is a kitchen and restaurant management system that will add efficiency
and productivity to any commercial kitchen environment. Our system is based on a handheld unit
designed for ease of use, ease of training, and data collection software based on your input of food
safety check lists, automated temperature probes strategically placed throughout the restaurant,
and manually operated temperature probes for nearly instantaneous audits of critical food items.
All features are accessible through a web-based software application that allows our customers to
customize lists that match your companies specific checklist. Our web based software also allows
monitoring from any web enable computer, if you are in California and check real time if tasks are
being completed, with Touchblock RM there is no need to wait for the reports to come in to your
office or for a regional manager to check on paper based reports in the restaurant it is true, real-time
information.

Touchblock RM is focused on three key areas of restaurant management:

• Accountability

• Financial Improvements

• Management Improvements

We make all your employees more accountable, our real time stamping no longer allows
data to be entered after the fact. If a time based parameter is missed, the software will time stamp
when it was actually completed or show it as not done. Touchblock studies have found that most paper
based systems exaggerate the correctness of data, it is too easy to add data to a paper based system
after the fact. As one of our regional managers told us, “He has never seen an incorrect paper based log
in all of his years in the field”. We strive to keep your employees and managers doing what they need
to do, selling and preparing food. By automating certain portions of their jobs, Touchblock RM can
give your employee more time to do other things. No more checking walk in cooler temperatures, no
more checking salad bar temperatures. Touchblock RM offers add-on sensors that will automate
temperature collection and the system can be programmed to automatically notify key employees
of anomalies. Touchblock RM improves management by being able to monitor several restaurants
from a web-enabled computer. A district or regional manager can check multiple locations many
times during the day to assure compliance with company and governmental regulations. He no longer
has to physically stop by a restaurant to check; he can do this on the web, thus making his visits to
each restaurant more productive and ultimately saving money. With Touchblock RM you could
conceivably manage all of your stores from a remote site.

1.6 Product Handling and Care Instructions

1.6.1 Handling the Touchblock unit.

The tips below will help you get the best use out of the Touchblock unit and extend the life of the
product. If you have any questions and are unable to find the answer in this manual, please call the
Touchblock support line at 888•###•####.

Always hold the device in your left hand and tap the screen with your right. The specially
designed handhold on the left side will give you a better grip and allows you to easily tap the buttons
on the screen.

Be sure to always return the Touchblock unit to the docking station after each
use. Doing so will allow for proper data collection and assure the battery is charged for each future

use.

Do not use sharp objects on the screen. Only use your fingertip to enter the info. Do not use
pens, knives, tongs or the temperature probe to press buttons on the screen. Doing so will damage the
screen and could make the unit inoperable.

Never apply too much pressure on the unit’s screen. A large amount of pressure can cause
the screen to crack.

Do not allow food items or liquids to get into the areas that connect the Touchblock
to the dock. Before the unit is docked each time, check to be sure the contacts are clean so that the

connection to the dock can be made. Clean the area with a rag that is damp with water only and wipe
it dry when clean. If the contacts are not clean, then the unit will likely not be able to transmit the data
when connected to the dock.

Do not leave the Touchblock near water or in a humid area. Water could get into the
unit and it will be come inoperable. Keep away from steam tables and dish washing equipment when
possible.

Clean the Touchblock and dock only with a rag that is damp with water. Never immerse the Touchblock
in water and use no chemicals on either part.

Never drop the Touchblock or place it where it could fall ! The screen is very fragile and the unit
will not work if it is cracked or broken.

2. Operating the Device

2.1 Precautions: The following sections will give the user an overview of how to use

the system, specific requirements needed to allow the system to work correctly and how to use the
unit when it is out of the dock to perform routine daily functions. The guide will go through the
menus on the Touchblock in the order they are found, however, the images of the screen that appear
in the manual may be different from your actual unit.

2.2 Using the Touchblock out of the Dock

2.2.1 Removing the unit from the Dock: The Toucblock is plugged into several
connectors when in the dock, so it may take some effort to remove it. Simply pull straight up from
the dock to safely remove the unit. Never pull the unit toward you, as you may break the dock or the
Touchblock.
After the Touchblock is out of the dock, the first screen you will see when the unit is
removed from the dock is the Welcome Screen that displays the reataurant’s logo, 2 buttons and
the store number and location. All of this information has been updated
when the unit was first docked. Each time the Touchblock is docked it
will be updated to reflect any new information.
The Checklist button leads the user into the pre­programmed checklist that is specific to your restaurant company and
location. The Settings button is used to alter any settings that are specific
to the unit. Checklists cannot be accessed here. They are only modified
from the web program covered in Section Three. Functions that can be
modified when pressing the Settings button are Display Settings,
System Settings and Wireless Temperature Settings.
