visible to the driver. Review all applicable state and local laws and
regulations to make sure the monitor is used properly and safely.

• Avoid using the monitor for extended times while the vehicle is
not running, or the monitor could drain the vehicle’s battery.

Cleaning the Monitor:

• Always turn o the unit before cleaning.

• Use a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent, isopropyl alcohol, or
window cleaners to clean the display housing.

• Never use abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to clean the unit.

WARNING – To prevent the risk of  re or shock hazards, do not expose
this product to rain or moisture.

WARNING – Please do not open or disassemble the product as this may
cause electric shock. Doing so will void the warranty.

Features

• The brightness control allows you to easily adjust the display to match
the ambient light, from full sunlight to night, even while wearing
gloves. Its convenient dial design also enables you to quickly adjust the
brightness.

• The monitor’s trans ective display uses re ected light from the
environment - even direct sunlight - to provide a bright image that can
be easily viewed under any lighting conditions.

• The monitor’s autosync function eliminates the need for adjusting the
monitor for the best image - the monitor automatically makes any
needed adjustments whenever it is powered up or the display mode is
changed.

• Two Type A USB connections are available for connecting peripheral
devices such as a keyboard, mouse or USB drive.

• The monitor supports standard VGA signal input - native 1024 x 768
XGA resolution - as well as 800 x 600 SVGA and 640 x 480 VGA.

• The monitor’s magnesium enclosure is waterproof and designed
to withstand shock and vibration for greater endurance and reliability.

Installation

Before Installing

Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor.

• The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for
navigation, system control or vehicle information. If the monitor will be
used for other purposes, it should be installed in such a way that it will
only operate while the vehicle is not moving (such as when the parking
brake is in use). Review all applicable state and local laws and
regulations to make sure the monitor is used properly and safely.

• The installed monitor must not interfere with the driver’s vision.

Installing the LX1200TI monitor consists of three steps:

1. Mounting the monitor using the mounting interface built into the
monitor’s back cover - see page 12.

2. Installing the touchscreen driver software - see page 13

3. Connecting the monitor to the computer and power source - see page 17

Note: Installing the SoftKey Macro Software - see page 26

12 LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A)

Step 1 - Mounting the Monitor

The back of the LX1200TI includes a mounting interface that you can use to
mount the monitor on a swing arm or other LCD monitor  xture, as follows.

1. Mount the  xture in its planned location according to the instructions
included with the  xture.

2. Attach the monitor to the  xture using the attachments on the back of
the monitor, shown in the following diagram.

IMPORTANT – For optimal results, use the M4 mounting holes around
the edges of the monitor.

!

Note: Use only a Planar-approved mounting bracket for in-vehicle use.

Mounting bracket and hardware are not included with the monitor,
and must be obtained separately.

Use the proper M4 x 0.7 screws for attaching the monitor to the
mounting  xture.

For low-vibration environments, the back of the monitor includes a
VESA Standard 100mm mounting pattern.

LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A) 13

Step 2 - IRtouch Install

Do not plug in the touchscreen yet! Install the driver  rst.

1. Run IRtouch driver setup from the LX1200TI CD

2. Accept user agreement

3. Install in default location

14 LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A)

4. Click Install

5. Click continue, you can trust Planar and IRtouch

6. Click on Finish
Attach the Planar monitor to the system or install the computer to a
docking station. After the USB cable from the Planar LX1200TI is
attached to the computer it will recognize the touchscreen for the  rst
time.

LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A) 15

7. Continue

8. Click Finish

9. Click the IRtouch icon located on your desktop to calibrate the touch
monitor.

10. Click Calibrate

16 LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A)

11. Set Modes
When used in rugged environments with software written for
touchscreens, you may  nd it easier to use the ‘click on release’ radio
button.

12. Beep
You can set the computer to beep on touch activation if needed.

LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A) 17

Step 3 - Connecting the Monitor

Once the LX1200TI is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other
video source) and the 12 VDC power supply as follows.

1. As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the
monitor.

2. Make sure the computer is turned o .

3. Connect the 12 VDC power supply cable to the monitor’s power supply.

4. Connect the power supply and power interrupt cables (for the
All-in-One power switch, if your computer or docking station is so
equipped) to the connectors on the bottom of the monitor. See the
following diagram for connector locations.

Note: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer.
However, depending on your particular hardware con guration, these
connections may be to a dock or other device rather than directly to
the computer.

Note: Use a 5-Amp fuse in line to the power source.

Also, to prevent vehicle battery from draining, you should install a
device that shuts o power to the monitor while the monitor is
inactive. (An example is Lind Electronic’s Vehicle Battery Voltage
Shutdown Timer - www.lindeletronic.com).

Note: If needed, connect an audio cable to the audio port on the monitor, and
to the headphone or audio line output connector on the computer.

If an external keyboard or other USB device will be used with the
monitor, plug it into either of the monitor’s Type A USB connectors.

Two USB devices can be connected to the monitor.

The following  gure shows typical connections.

5. Turn on power to the computer. The monitor then turns on as soon as it
receives a video signal from the computer, and its LED turns green.

Also, the  rst time the monitor is powered up, it automatically displays
a test pattern of repeating colored screens (black, white, red, green, and
blue) until a video signal is detected.

6. Install the monitor’s driver software and con gure the monitor’s touch
screen as needed.

Note: For best results, adjust the display mode of the computer to a
resolution of 1024 x 768 and a refresh rate of 60 Hz.

Turning the Monitor On and Off

The monitor’s power button controls power to the computer. The monitor
itself turns its display on and o according to whether it is receiving a video
signal.

• To turn on the computer, press the remote PC shutdown/start button
on the front of the monitor. The monitor then turns on when it receives
a good video signal from the computer (and the monitor’s power
indicator turns from red to green).

• To turn o the computer, press the remote PC shutdown/start button
again.

Using the Touchscreen

The LX1200TI touchscreen allows you to operate the computer by touching
the screen with a  nger or stylus, rather than using a mouse or keyboard.

Navigating the Touchscreen

• To click an item, tap the item once.

• To double-click an item, tap the item twice rapidly.

• To drag an item, touch the item, and then drag it along the screen to the
new location.

• To move the cursor, touch the screen and move the cursor as needed.

Note: Be sure to con gure the computer’s power options, including how the
computer responds when the button is pressed. See Windows on-line
help for details.

The monitor goes into standby whenever the computer is put into
sleep or into hibernation.

LX1200TI User’s Guide (020-0512-01A) 21

Cleaning the Monitor

Clean the monitor’s touchscreen periodically to keep the display image bright
and sharp, and to keep the touchscreen functions working properly.

• Always turn o the monitor before cleaning.

• Clean the touchscreen only with a dry soft cloth. If this does not clean
the screen adequately, use water or mild glass or window cleaner
(that does not contain ammonia) applied to the cloth and not to the
display.

CAUTION – Do not apply liquids to the display.

!

• Clean the monitor housing with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent, 70% isopropyl alcohol, 1.6% aqueous ammonia, or
household window cleaners.

• Never apply abrasive cleaners, waxes or solvents to the monitor.
