Turning on the console

Make sure the power cord and all cables are connected properly. Grasp the handle of the drawer, pull the panel forward and up, then press the pushbutton in the top right hand corner to enable the TFT screen.

The LED located to the left of the monitor panel should turn from orange to green, verifying that the unit is operational.

Configuring display settings

After connecting the drawer and turning on your computer, you may need to configure one or more of the following display settings to allow the computer to display according to the console’s native resolution:

Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution)

Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync)

Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)

Each video card has several controls that allow you to adjust the display settings, however, the software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you can adjust these settings using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card. Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse button in a blank area of the Windows desktop and then select Properties. The Settings tab usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (X by Y pixel resolution).

Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties control panel, giving you extra setup options that are flexible and easy to use.

For example, the control panel may include an Advanced Properties button, an Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have a separate utility for setting display properties.

Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position, or shape may change. This behavior is normal.You can readjust the image using the monitor on-screen controls. For more information on configuring the display settings, please refer to the manual that accompanied your video card.
