Touch Screen Calibration  
User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen  
Attentions when using the Touch Screen  
Attention: Only some models are equipped  
with touch screen.  
User Guide 15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
The monitor has touch capability due to a touch-sensitive screen installed. A touch  
screen is an input device just like a mouse or a keyboard, and the users hand  
transmits position information via the touch screen to the computer. With this  
technology, you only need to touch the pictures or words on the computer display  
lightly with your finger, and the computer will react.  
2.1 Touch Screen Calibration  
Prior to first use or whenever the touch screen reacts in a different place where you  
are touching it, start the calibration program. The procedure is as follows:  
1. In Windows 7, Select “Start” – “Control Panel”.  
2. In Control Panel, select “Hardware and Sound”.  
3. In “Hardware and Sound” window, select “Tablet PC Settings”.  
4. In “Tablet PC Settings” dialogue, click “Calibrate” button.  
5. Use your finger or the touch pen of 6-7mm diameter to touch each of the  
calibration points that are shown in sequence, to finish the calibration.  
2.2 User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen  
The Touch screen supports single touches and rotational movements, enlargement  
and reduction multi-touch operations, and the user can transmit position  
information to the computer via touch. The touch screen uses a very low pressure  
movement recognition method, which only needs the finger to move lightly on the  
computer display screen or make a simple hand gesture to be detected by the  
main computer processor.

2.2.1 Basic Hand Gestures  
1. Single Click / Double Click  
For the item selected on the touch screen, with one finger touch it very gently one  
or two times, to perform a single click or double click operation. This is similar to  
the action performed by clicking the left mouse button.  
User Guide 17

2. Single Finger Right Click  
For the item selected on the touch screen, press and hold your finger on the  
screen until a circle appears. After lifting your finger from the touch screen, a menu  
bar will pop up, completing the single finger right click operation. This is similar to  
the action performed by clicking the right mouse button.

3. Dragging Movement  
First touch your finger on the desired item on the screen and hold it there, then  
make a dragging movement. This is similar to the click and drag movement you  
can make with a mouse.  
4. High Speed Slide  
If you touch the screen with a single finger and slide it a short distance horizontally  
(about 5 cm), then quickly lift it up again, this is called a High Speed Slide, and the  
screen will show the “Forward” or “Back” icon.  
In the default situation, a high speed horizontal sliding movement will execute a  
forward or back operation. For example: Forward and Back operations for the  
IE browser; or Previous and Next slide operations in Windows Photo Viewer  
slideshow mode.

5. Rolling Movement  
When you move your finger one time vertically (or horizontally) on the touch screen,  
this is called a Rolling Operation. This operation is similar to moving the scroll wheel  
on the top of a mouse, and produces the same results as the scroll wheel interface  
does.  
6. Zoom Operation  
Touch two fingers lightly on the desired item on the touch screen, then keeping  
both fingers on the screen, change the distance between them. By increasing (or  
decreasing) the distance, you can perform a zoom out (or zoom in) operation. For  
example: you can enlarge or reduce the picture size in Windows Photo Viewer.

them in the desired direction. For example: you can rotate the picture which is  
being displayed in Windows Photo Viewer.

2.3 Attentions when using the Touch Screen  
1. With the new touch recognition technology of Touch Screen, the user only  
needs to gently tap on the touch screen, and does not need to exert any  
pressure to complete operations. When using it please remember not to use  
excessive force or tear the screen surface with any sharp object.  
2. In order to safeguard it for normal use, you should remove any dirt from the  
touch screen, and ensure your fingers are clean and dry, as well as avoid using  
it in dusty environments, or in very hot or humid conditions.  
3. The product casing is easy to clean. To ensure safe use, we suggest you clean  
the screen and casing with a soft cotton cloth after turning it off each time.  
When wiping the screen, please do not wipe in an upwards direction, but wipe it  
in a direction from top to bottom.  
4. Please promptly remove any dust accumulated in the four corners of the screen  
and the bottom of the screen frame, because this will prevent accumulated dust  
from affecting the screens touch localization. Do not place or drop anything  
which could obstruct it in the four corners of the screen or any part of its frame,  
because this could separate the screen from the frame and stop the screen  
from being able to sense position properly.  
Note: When it is used in normal operation, the touch screen process will  
not affect the running of other computer processes.

5. The recognition of touch gestures by this product can be influenced by the  
following factors:  
Touching the correct place on the screen  
• The speed of movement  
• The time interval from when the screen was last touched  
Note: To learn accurate hand gesture operations, the user can consult this  
manual and also the related Windows help content.  
6. In order to achieve a better degree of sensitivity from the touch screen, the user  
should avoid placing the screen too close to an artificial light source or in the  
direct path of strong sunlight.  
7. The touch screen does not function in Rescue System mode.  
8. The touch screen also does not function during the startup process, and in  
Sleep mode or Safe mode.

5.6 Performing Daily Maintenance Tasks  
Cleaning the computer components  
Because many of the computer components consist of sophisticated integrated  
circuit boards, it is very important to periodically clean around the computer  
to prevent dust buildup. The cleaning supplies you need in order to clean the  
components include: a vacuum cleaner, a soft cotton cloth, clear water (pure water  
preferred) and cotton swabs.  
Attention: Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer  
from the electrical outlet. Clean your computer with a soft cloth  
dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may  
contain flammable substances.

The following are general methods for cleaning the components:  
You can use a soft cloth to remove dust on the surface of the computer, the  
monitor, the printer, the speakers and the mouse.  
You can use a vacuum cleaner to clean in otherwise inaccessible corners.  
To clean the keyboard thoroughly, shut down the computer and scrub it gently  
with a wet cloth.  
• Do not use the keyboard until it is dry.  
Do not do any of the following:  
• Allow water to enter the computer  
• Use a heavily dampened cloth  
• Spray water directly onto the surface of the monitor or inside of computer  
Daily attention should be given to LCD monitors. Use a dry cloth daily to brush  
dust from the monitor and keyboard. Keep all surfaces clean and free of grease  
stains.

Problem: The capacity of the hard disk, as indicated by the system, is less than  
the nominal capacity.  
Troubleshooting and problem resolution: For computers equipped with the  
OneKey Recovery feature, the system recovery feature needs to occupy some  
hard disk space. This may account for the apparent hard disk capacity deficit.  
Further Technical Explanation: The nominal capacity of the hard disk is  
expressed in the decimal system, 1000 bytes. But the actual hard disk capacity is  
expressed in the binary system as 1024 bytes (For example, the nominal capacity  
1G is 1000M, while the actual capacity 1G is 1024M).  
The capacity of the hard disk shown in Windows can be calculated according to  
the calculations in the following example:  
The nominal capacity of the hard disk is 40G, while its actual capacity should  
be: 40 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/ (1024 x 1024 x 1024) = 37G.  
If the Service partition of 3G - 3 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000/ (1024 x 1024 x 1024)  
= 2.79G is subtracted, the capacity of the hard disk shown in the system can  
be obtained.  
The capacity of the hard disk as calculated using this method may be slightly  
different from the actual capacity due to the rounding of totals.  
6.5 Special considerations for troubleshooting Windows  
Record the following information that may later be useful in troubleshooting system  
problems:  
1. The serial number of the software. The serial number was shipped with the  
computer and was provided separately by the manufacturer. The Help Center is  
unable to retrieve this number.  
2. The drivers for this computer model only support the Windows 7 system.  
3. When you use the Windows Media Center to watch TV, be particularly attentive  
to the following:  
• In the following two situations, you must re-save a channel list:  
a. When you change your TV signal from digital to analog, your saved  
channel list for digital TV is deleted. When you want to watch digital TV  
again, you must create and save a new channel list.  
b. When you change your TV signal from analog to digital, your saved  
channel list for analog TV is deleted. When you want to watch analog TV  
again, you must create and save a new channel list.
