Precautions with regard to setting up WARNING Do not allow the equipment to get wet. • If liquid splashes onto the equipment, wipe off with a dry cloth. In the unlikely event that liquid gets inside the product, unplug the USB cable and contact your dealer. Using the product with liquid still inside may cause a fire or electric shock. Do not disassemble or modify the equipment. • Doing so may cause a fire or electric shock. Do not touch the edge of the infrared transmissive part on the touch panel.
Precautions with regard to setting up Cautions when in use READ FIRST! Always keep the touch panel clean. • This optical touch panel utilizes infrared rays and may operate incorrectly if the infrared transmissive part becomes soiled. Use a soft dry cloth to clean the infrared transmissive part once every day. Use a power supply within the rated voltage range. • Be sure that the power supply used conforms to the rated voltage.
Maintenance Maintenance * Be sure to unplug the USB cable before cleaning the equipment. Clean the inside of the equipment once a year. • The equipment is of semi-sealed construction, so dust may eventually accumulate inside. This may cause poor operation due to a reduction in the level of infrared light available for touch detection. Cleaning frequency will vary depending on the setup location; if in doubt consult the dealer from whom you purchased the equipment.

Before Calling for Service If you think the touch panel is broken or if it is not operating correctly, check the following before calling for service. Problem Check point Action to take Page The touch panel is an optical device that uses infrared rays. Incident light that contains large quantities of infrared rays can prevent proper functioning. Move light sources as far away from the touch panel as possible. Fluorescent light: Does not produce infrared light, so it does not cause problems.
Before Calling for Service Problem The touch position is out of place. The cursor poorly follows touching. Check point Calibrate the touch panel. 27 Has the touch panel been detached? If the touch panel is detached and then reattached, it may be installed in a slightly different position. This can cause the touch position not to align with the cursor position. Always calibrate the touch panel after it has been detached and reattached.
Error Messages If the Driver software detects an error, an error message is displayed. If an error message appears, remediate it as explained. Note Errors that do not affect touch detection, such as momentary communication errors, are restored automatically. Message Action to take Detailed action Can’t find a touch device.
