Touch screen instructions

This chapter contains the following topics:

Ø Touch Screen Calibration

Ø User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen

Ø Attentions when using the Touch Screen

User Guide

19

The monitor is touch-sensitive thanks to its touch-sensitive screen. A touch screen is an input device just like a mouse or a keyboard, and the user’s fingers transmit 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.

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 Control Panel, select “Hardware and Sound”.

2. In “Hardware and Sound” window, select “Tablet PC Settings”.

3. In “Tablet PC Settings” dialogue, click “Calibrate” button.

User Gesture Instructions for the Touch screen

The Touch screen supports single touch 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.

20

User Guide

Basic Hand Gestures

1. Single Click / Double Click

For the item selected on the touch screen, with one finger touch it one or two times, to perform a single click or double click operation. This is similar to the action performed by clicking the mouse left button.

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 mouse right button.

User Guide

21

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. Rolling Movement

When you move your finger one time vertically (or horizontally) on the touch screen, this is called a Rolling Operation. For example: 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.

22

User Guide

5. 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 in (or zoom out) operation. For example: you can enlarge or reduce the picture size in Windows

Photo Viewer.

6. Rotation Operation

Use two figures to touch the desired item on the touch screen, then rotate them in the desired direction. For example: you can rotate the picture which is being displayed in Windows Photo Viewer.

Note: To learn more about how to use the touch screen, refer to Windows

Help and Support by press Windows key + F1 or Select Settings charm, then select Help.

User Guide

23

Related Touch Screen Settings

• Select Hardware and Sound → Pen and Touch from the Settings charm.

• Select touch actions which you wish to adjust. By clicking on “Settings”, you can adjust the “Speed” and “Spatial tolerance” parameters, to match the user’s natural way of double-clicking. You can double-click on the lower right corner of the icon to test this.

Note: Users can access more help information from the Windows Help and Support menu.

User Guide

Precautions when using the Touch Screen

1. When using the touch screen, be careful not to tear the surface with any sharp objects.

2. To ensure normal use of the touch screen, ensure that both the screen surface and your fingers are clean and dry.

3. To ensure precise positioning on the touch screen, avoid handling or touching the glass frame when you are touching the screen.

4. Turn the computer off for safety before cleaning the screen and frame with a soft cotton cloth. Do not wipe it with a wet cloth as this may leave a water mark and affect touch operation.

5. Avoid using the touch screen in dusty environments or hot or humid conditions.

Any abrupt temperature change may cause condensation on the inside surface of the glass screen, which will disappear after a short time and does not affect normal use.

Note: The touch screen will not affect other computer processes when used normally.

6. Recognition of touch gestures can be influenced by the following:

• Touching the correct place on the screen.

• The speed of movement.

• The time interval from when the screen was last touched.

Note: The user can consult this manual and also the related Windows help content to learn accurate hand gestures.

Troubleshooting Problems Hard Disks

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 as 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.

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 the computer to prevent dust buildup. The cleaning supplies you need to clean the components include: a vacuum cleaner, a soft cotton cloth, pure water (preferably purified or distilled water) 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.

Note: To avoid damaging the computer or display, do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the display. Only use products specifically designed for cleaning displays, and follow the instructions included with the product.

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 the computer.

LCD monitor should be cleaned daily. Use a dry cloth to brush dust from the monitor and keyboard every day. Keep all surfaces clean and free of grease stains.
