About the TouchSurround

Warning

To reduce the risk of electric shock which could result in serious personal injury or death, do not open the power supply in the ET 350 monitor. It contains hazardous voltages. The power supply has no user-serviceable parts or adjustments inside.

The TouchSurround is the touch-sensitive area of the computer screen around the LCD display (see Figure 1 on page 6). A graphic underlay is located under the touch screen and it identifies buttons, touchable symbols, pictures, and icons.

Standard TouchSurrounds

Standard TouchSurround layouts from 3M Touch Systems feature predefined buttons that permit some keyboard functions (for example, Enter) to be performed by touch. The functions of the buttons can be changed by following instructions in the software guide appropriate for your operating system (see “Software guides” on page 2).

Custom TouchSurrounds

Custom TouchSurrounds let you customize the user’s interface with the monitor. You can change the number, size, and position of buttons, and create icons or touchable graphics that suit your needs.

If you need a custom TouchSurround, you can order the monitor with a custom TouchSurround or you can replace the TouchSurround graphic underlay later, as described in this chapter.
