About Hardware 

Question: Why the LCD touch screen responds so slowly in cold weather? 
Answer: It is because the ambient temperature is close to the lower limit of 
operating temperature range (0-50

). In this situation, it is necessary to 

warm up the machine for 30 minutes before test. 
 
Question: Why there is no character on the backlit screen? 
Answer: Check if the power is well connected. Turn off the machine, unplug
