Aligning the Touch Screen
When the HHPM first turns on (or after a hard reset) the touch screen will require calibration.
The

will display a series of targets to tap in sequence on the screen. Use
the stylus to tap the targets firmly and accurately. Sometimes you need to perform the alignment
procedure more than once to provide a satisfactory alignment. You can start the alignment
process by going to

for approximately one second.
Once toggled off, the backlight will stay off until it is toggled back on. Screen taps and presses

button presses until the backlight is manually turned back on or the HHPM is turned off
and back on.

the shutdown mode, press the power key and the unit will boot up.
