3.2.3 Display with Touch Screen
GN series touch panels include a TFT display (see page 44) with corresponding resistive
touch screen (glass-glass technology). A stylus is supplied for touch screen operation.
The surface of the display is also mechanically protected by the touch screen. The touch
screen (USB connected) registers contacts of a finger or a pen and allows you to move the
mouse pointer. This works only if the necessary software is installed. You receive the touch
screen driver for your operating system installed on your system.
NOTE
•
Do not use a hard or a pointed object (like screw drivers) to operate the
touch screen because this can damage the touch screen surface.
•
The front panel (GN10/GN12/GN15) and the touch screen are covered by a
plastic overlay. Be careful when cleaning the plastic overlay (see page 22).

display. Calibration also determines the edges of the screen's image and locates the center of
the touch screen. If the touch screen is not calibrated properly, the active area of the touch
