Getting started and OSD operation 

This chapter provides an overview of connecting the monitor to a computer, and then 
describes the OSD. 

7.1. Getting 

started 

This section assumes that the Monitor Power and Signal Cable being used has standard 
PC-compatible connectors on one end (as opposed to a custom connector), as shown in 
the photograph below. 
 
 

 

 

Figure 6. 

Photograph of a typical Monitor Power and Signal Cable, with 
standard PC-compatible connectors (DB15 for video, USB for 
touch screen and 3.5mm for audio).  It also has a 4-pin 3.96mm 
Socket for DC power. 

 
The monitor can be used with any computer that has a standard VGA-compatible video 
output.  To get the monitor working: 

 

Plug the Monitor Power and Signal Cable into the connector on the monitor’s rear 
panel.  The connector is polarized, so can only be plugged in one way. 

 

Video:  Plug the DB-15 connector (on one end of the Monitor Power and Signal 
Cable) into the PC. 

 

Touch Screen:  Plug the USB (or RS232) connector into the PC.  If a USB 
interface is being used, the USB connector should only be plugged into the PC 
AFTER the touch screen driver has been installed – otherwise the driver may not 
install correctly. 

 

Audio:  Plug the 3.5mm connector into the PC’s speaker output. 

 

Power:  Connect DC power to the power connector. 

 

Turn the power supply on.  Press the monitor’s Power On/Off button, to turn the 
monitor on. 

 

Now turn the PC on. 

 

You should see the PC boot screens, etc. 

 
 
For best video performance, set the PC’s output video resolution to 1024x768 at 60Hz.
