Operation of the touchscreen

 Operate the touchscreen with your finger or with an approved stylus

When using the touchscreen function, use only your finger or an approved stylus on the surface. Operating the touchscreen with an object other than your fingertip or the stylus (a fingernail or metal object, or other hard or sharp objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface, causing the touchscreen to malfunction.

 Do not apply too much pressure when operating the touchscreen

Only a light touch is required to operate the touchscreen. Applying too much pressure may damage the surface.

Touchscreen

Maintaining the performance of the touchscreen

 When the touchscreen becomes dirty, wipe it with an approved soft cloth

The touchscreen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be removed easily using a dry cloth (use only the approved soft cloth). If the dirt does not come off easily, breathe on the surface and try again. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.

 Suggestions About Cleaning the LCD Surface

To improve the outdoor visibility of the display, a low reflection coating has been added. In order to avoid scratches and peeling of this coating, an approved soft cloth has been included to wipe the LCD surface of the computer. Before using the computer, be sure to read the instructions provided below.

• Be sure to wipe the LCD display to remove fingerprints, etc., with the soft cloth.

• Do not wipe areas other than the LCD display with the soft cloth.

• Use the soft cloth when it is dry. Do not apply water or solvents to the soft cloth.

• First, lightly wipe foreign particles and dust adhering to the LCD display on one side of the soft cloth. Do not use force,

since the LCD surface may be damaged with the foreign particles or dust. Next, wipe off fingerprint, etc., with the other side of the soft cloth. After wiping off foreign particles and dust, wash the soft cloth (refer to the following) to remove the foreign particles and dust from the soft cloth.

• When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with neutral detergent. Do not use bleach or a fabric conditioner (softener), or carry out sterilization by boiling.

• If the LCD gets wet, wipe the surface lightly with the soft cloth.

• While wiping the LCD display, the computer must be turned off.

 Clean the touchscreen while the computer is powered off

Cleaning the screen while the power is on may cause the computer to malfunction. Also, dirt on the touchscreen is easier to see when the computer is powered off, and so is easier to clean.

 Wash the soft cloth when it becomes dirty

When the soft cloth becomes dirty, wash it with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric conditioner (softener), or try to sterilize the cloth by boiling. If the soft cloth is dirty, it may be ineffective in cleaning the touchscreen, and in fact may cause dirt to adhere to the touchscreen.

Touchscreen

 Check the following to prevent the surface of the touchscreen from being scratched

z Are you using your finger or a stylus to operate the touchscreen? z Is the surface clean? z Is the soft cloth clean? z Are you using the stylus with the tip extended? z Is the tip of the stylus clean? z Is your finger clean?

Things to keep in mind when using the touchscreen

 Do not touch the screen outside of the LCD display area

The touchscreen input area is defined by the LCD display screen. Touching the screen outside of the display area may result malfunctions or damage to the touchscreen.

 Do not apply excessive force to the touchscreen

Do not lift the computer while holding the LCD screen, or allow the screen to be twisted. Do not place any objects on the LCD screen. Any of the above may cause the touchscreen glass to break, or may damage the LCD screen.

 Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments

The touchscreen may respond to operations more slowly when using the computer in temperatures less than 5°C, but this is not a malfunction. Response time will return to normal when the computer is returned to room temperature.

 If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touched, or if

the LCD resolution changes, recalibrate the touchscreen

Perform the procedure of “Touchscreen Calibration” (below).

Touchscreen Calibration

A standard user needs to perform the calibration as an administrator before performing the calibration for each user.
