Operation by touching the screen

z Touch the screen with the digitizer pen (included) or your finger

When touching the screen, use only the digitizer pen (included) or your finger on the surface. Touching the screen with an object other than the digitizer pen (included) or your fingertip (a fingernail or metal object, or other hard or sharp objects that may leave a mark) may scar or stain the surface, causing the malfunction.

z Do not apply too much pressure when touching the screen

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

Touch Screen Operation

Maintaining the performance of the screen

z When the screen becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth

The screen is specially treated to prevent dirt from adhering to the surface, so dirt can be removed easily using a dry 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.

z 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 screen, and in fact may cause dirt to adhere to the screen.

z Check the following to prevent the surface of the screen from being scratched

z Are you using the digitizer pen or your finger to operate the screen? z Is the surface clean? z Is the soft cloth clean? z Is the tip of the digitizer pen clean? z Is your finger clean?

Things to keep in mind when using the screen

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

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

z Do not apply excessive force to the screen

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 screen glass to break, or may damage the LCD screen.

z Operation response may be slower in low temperature environments

The screen 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.

z If the cursor jumps to a location other than where the screen was touched, or if the LCD reso-

lution changes, perform the calibration

Perform the procedure of “Calibration” (Î page 6).

Touch Screen Operation

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.

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