Appendix A Touch Technology Touchscreens: An Overview Typically, users communicate with computers by using a mouse, a key- board, or a combination of the two. Users who are not keyboard-literate or mouse-savvy can become frustrated with how long human-to-com- puter interactions take. Computer literacy is learned.
Appendix A : Touch Technology For example, a customer in a department store could scroll through a product catalog by increasing or decreasing pressure on an icon. Intelli- Touch’s pressure sensitivity increases the intuitive nature of a user/ touchscreen interaction by allowing for increased selectivity. An IntelliTouch touchscreen is a great choice for point-of-information or public access applications such as the following: Point-of-information kiosks...
Do not use a damaged power cord. Use only the power cord that comes with your Elo TouchSystems touchmonitor. Use of an unautho- rized power cord may invalidate your warranty.
Appendix B : Touchmonitor Safety Care and Handling of Your Touchmonitor The following tips will help keep your Elo Entuitive touchmonitor func- tioning at the optimal level. Protect your touchmonitor from extremely low or high temperatures. Keep your touchmonitor dry. Do not wash it with a wet cloth or pour fluid into it.
Cleaning Your Touchmonitor Before you clean your touchmonitor (and PC), prevent damage by pow- ering off the entire computer system and disconnecting the touchmoni- tor from the AC outlet. After you finish cleaning, make sure the touchmonitor is completely dry before you reconnect the cables and power it on.
