CHAPTER 3 OPERATION CHAPTER3 About Touchmonitor Adjustments Variations in video output and application will likely require you to adjust your touchmonitor to optimize the quality of the display. For best performance, your monitor should be operating in native resolution; that is, 1024 x 768 at 60-75 MHz. Use the Display control panel in Windows to choose 1024 x 768 resolution. Operating in other resolutions will degrade video performance. For further information, please refer to Appendix A.
Connecting the OSD Module All adjustments are made by using the remote on-screen display (OSD) module. First, connect the OSD module by inserting the corded end into the OSD module connector in the back of the monitor.

CHAPTER 4 TROUBLESHOOTING CHAPTER4 If you are experiencing trouble with your touchmonitor, refer to the following table. If the problem persists, please contact your reseller or our technical support at 1-800-557-1458. Solutions to Common Problems Problem Suggestion(s) No image appears on screen.

APPENDIX A NATIVE RESOLUTION CHAPTER4 The native resolution of a monitor is the resolution at which the LCD panel is designed to perform best. In almost all cases, screen images look best when viewed at their native resolution. You can lower the resolution setting of a monitor but not increase it. For the Elo LCD touchmonitor, XGA-15 inch, the native resolution is 1024 x 768.
For example, a SVGA resolution LCD panel displays 800 pixels horizontally and 600 pixels vertically. Input video is also represented by the same terms. XGA input video has a format of 1024 pixels horizontally by 768 pixels vertically. When the input pixels contained in the video input format match the native resolution of the panel, there is a one-to- one correspondence of mapping of input video pixels to LCD pixels.
APPENDIX B TOUCHMONITOR SAFETY CHAPTER4 This manual contains information that is important for the proper setup and maintenance of your industrial touchmonitor. Before setting up and powering on your new touchmonitor, read through this manual, especially Chapter 2 (Installation), and Chapter 3 (Operation). 1 To reduce the risk of electric shock, follow all safety notices and never open the touchmonitor or brick supply case.
