7. Getting started and OSD operation
This chapter provides an overview of connecting the monitor to a computer, and then
describes the OSD.
7.1. Getting started
This section assumes that the Monitor Power and Signal Cable being used has standard
PC-compatible connectors on one end (as opposed to a custom connector), as shown in
the photograph below.
Figure 6. Photograph of a typical Monitor Power and Signal Cable, with
standard PC-compatible connectors (DB15 for video, USB for
touch screen and 3.5mm for audio). It also has a 4-pin 3.96mm
Socket for DC power.
The monitor can be used with any computer that has a standard VGA-compatible video
output. To get the monitor working:
 Plug the Monitor Power and Signal Cable into the connector on the monitor’s rear
panel. The connector is polarized, so can only be plugged in one way.
 Video: Plug the DB-15 connector (on one end of the Monitor Power and Signal
Cable) into the PC.
 Touch Screen: Plug the USB (or RS232) connector into the PC. If a USB
interface is being used, the USB connector should only be plugged into the PC
AFTER the touch screen driver has been installed – otherwise the driver may not
install correctly.
 Audio: Plug the 3.5mm connector into the PC’s speaker output.
 Power: Connect DC power to the power connector.
 Turn the power supply on. Press the monitor’s Power On/Off button, to turn the
monitor on.
 Now turn the PC on.
 You should see the PC boot screens, etc.
For best video performance, set the PC’s output video resolution to 800x600 at 60Hz.
