Additional information
Hardware
The Teatro touchscreen TS-1 comes with a pressure sensitive TFT display of the newest generation. The TFT display itself was built
and supplied by the renowned company „Elo TouchSystems“ (www.elotouch.com).
You may know that older touchscreens in earlier years could only detect the touch of a finger while measuring the resistance of
the skin, which in some cases could lead to a situation where it was not possible to detect the touch properly and generate errors
while using the touchscreen.
Newer touchscreens like the one we are using with Teatro can really measure the amount of pressure that is being generated
while touching the surface of the screen. This also means that you should not apply very soft pressures, which will make it
possible that the touch will not be detected.
Usage of the touchscreen
It is not necessary to touch the screen with your finger. You can also use your fingernails or a plastic pencil like the ones you use
with a Palm Organizer.
Never use very hard or sharp objects like pens, pencils, nails, screws or screw-drivers !!!
Maintenance
• Switch off the touchscreen before cleaning.
• Remove dust and dirt by wiping the touchscreen with a soft, clean, lintfree cloth.
• Moisten a soft cloth with an ammonia- based glass cleaner and use it to remove fingerprints and smudges.
• Do not apply liquid or aerosol spray cleaners directly on the screen or cabinet.
Handling
• Protect your touchmonitor from extremely low or high temperatures.
• Keep your touchmonitor dry. Do not wash it with a wet cloth or pour fluid into it.
• Protect your touchmonitor from being bumped or dropped.
• Keep your touchmonitor away from dust, sand and dirt.
• Keep your touchmonitor away from humid environments.
