OUCHSCREEN
The SHOUT ts has a resistive touchscreen. Use either a finger or a stylus to select options
displayed on the screen. Resistive touchscreens offer consistent and durable performance in
harsh environments. However, as with any touchscreen devices, be careful not to damage it
with a sharp object. Unlike a capacitive touchscreen on most cellular phones where a slight
tap of the finger is required, a resistive touchscreen requires a more moderate finger
pressure. Resistive touchscreens drift slowly over time and need to be recalibrated
periodically. To do this, open the
Setting
>
Calibrate
menu.

A delay in displaying time and date is normal because the unit first has to
check its internal clock against the GNSS receiver.

Note:
Remember to apply moderate pressure with a fingertip. Resistive screens
require a little more than a slight touch.
