Touchscreen

Do not use sharp, pointed objects on the touch screen!

The touch screen is designed to be used with your finger or the stylus that came with your
device.

This stylus is made specifically for a capacitive touch screen. Anything else will harm your touch
screen and may cause your device to stop working.

In addition to the stylus that came with your device, PRC offers a bundle of six styli for sale in the
Web store, www.prentrom.com . Select Products and then select Keyboards, Keyboard Frames
and Styli.

The touch screen is a liquid crystal display (LCD). Should the display break (unlikely except
in extreme circumstances) and you come into contact with the liquid crystal, wash and rinse your
skin thoroughly. Be careful to avoid splintered glass.

See Cleaning and Disinfecting in the Troubleshooting section of this manual for more

information about the touch screen.
