•  Are the batteries inserted with polarity (+,-) aligned? (See 
page 16.)
•  Are the batteries exhausted?
•  Point the remote control unit toward the monitor’s remote 
control sensor. (See page 16.)

(INPUT5) is used. (See page 29.)
The video from the HDMI input terminal does not appear 
properly.
•  Is the HDMI cable HDMI standard compliant? The monitor 
will not work with cables that are not standard compliant.
•  Is the input signal compatible with this monitor? (See pages

(See page 
26.)
Control buttons do not work.
There is no picture.
•  Load noises from outside may be interfering with normal 
operation. Turn off the power and turn it on after waiting at 
least 5 seconds, and then check the operation. (See page 
18.)
•  Turn on the monitor rst before turning on the computer or 
playback device.
Computer resolution changes automatically.
•  If you turn the power switch off and then back on again 
connecting the computer with a graphic card, the resolution 
may change to 640 x 480. The resolution changes back to 
1920 x 1080 according to the following steps.
   - Disconnect and connect the video cable.
   -  Press the DETECT button when the SCREEN 
RESOLUTION is displayed. (For Windows)

The touch panel does not respond.
•  Is the USB cable connected properly?
•  If you want to position the monitor further away than the 
USB cable will allow, extend the cable using a USB cable 
with a repeater.
The response of the touch screen is slow.
Some parts of the screen do not respond.
A different place is touched
•  Is the screen exposed to direct sunlight or other strong 
light? The touch panel uses infrared rays and thus may not 
operate correctly.
•  Is there an obstacle between the infrared transmitter/
receiver and the touch pen or your nger? An obstacle will 
prevent correct operation. If your ngers or a sleeve are too 
close to the screen, correct operation will not be possible.
•  Is the infrared transmitter/receiver dirty? Gently wipe off 
any dirt with a soft cloth.
• 
If the touch panel is touched with a small tip less than about 
5/16 inch (8 mm) x 5/16 inch (8 mm), the touch may not be 
detected by infrared and correct operation will not take place.
•  When starting your computer or connecting the USB cable, 
do not touch the touch panel. If you touch the touch panel, 
this may be detected as an element failure in the infrared 
transmitter/receiver and incorrect operation will result.
•  When two touch pens are used, it may not be possible to 
write correctly.
   - When touch pens are moved near each other.
   - When a pen is held at an angle while writing.

monitor. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands 
and contracts according to change in temperature. This 
does not affect the monitor’s performance.
