USING A PC KEYBOARD
An external PC compatible keyboard may be connected to the MT unit via the Keyboard Port. This

external keyboard will not affect any touch screen functions. The external keyboard could be useful in
the event that the touch interface is not operating properly.

When using an external keyboard, ensure that a ferrite block (Steward 28B2025-0A0, or
equivalent) is installed on the keyboard shielded cable. This requirement complies with
