Description

Quick Reference Guide.

Do not discard the TX1 foam packaging, as it is designed to fit several industry-standard hard
sided carrying cases (for example, the Pelican 1500). If you received the TX1 kit in the
cardboard box shipped by Tableau, you can reuse the stacking foam inserts in your own hard
sided case.

Navigating the TX1

Use the TX1 touchscreen display to navigate from module to module and choose or modify
options. Use the touchscreen keyboard or a USB keyboard to enter alphanumeric text when
prompted. See USB Keyboard Support on page 1.
