The Display

The VX6 Display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting half screen SVGA+
graphics modes. Display size is 800 x 320 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist stains.
The touchscreen allows signature capture and touch input.
The display supports screen blanking to eliminate driver distraction when the vehicle is in motion.
Please see "Technical Specifications – Screen Blanking Cable" earlier in this chapter and "Screen
Blanking" in Chapter 3, System Configuration" for details.

Cleaning the Display

Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the display. If the glass becomes soiled or
smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex
Isopropyl Alcohol. Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they
may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not scrub optical
surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint/particulates can be removed
with clean, filtered canned air.

Touchscreen

The touchscreen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a
stylus, and translate them into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse.
Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used. A right mouse click is simulated by touching and
holding the screen for the appropriate time interval.
Note:
An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered from LXE. See the "Accessories" section for the
stylus part number.
Please refer to Chapter 3, "System Configuration" for more information on:
LXE offers a replaceable touchscreen protective film to protect the touchscreen when the VX6 is
used in an abrasive environment. For information on installing or removing the protective film,
please refer to the "VX6 User's Guide".

Touchscreen Heater

Extended temperature versions of the VX6 contain a touchscreen heater. The touchscreen heater
can be disabled on Platform 2 VX6's when not needed. Please see "MX3-VXC Options" in
Chapter 3, "System Configuration".
