TroubleShooting

Before requesting repairs

Please check the following points.

Symptom

 

Check

 

 

 

No response at all to

Check the USB cable

 

input

Check that the USB cable is securely connected.

 

Check extraneous light

 

 

Check whether there is (or might be) any equipment in the surrounding area that

 

uses a powerful light source or infrared light. The touch panel is an optic type that

 

uses infrared light. Extraneous light containing infrared radiation may interfere with

 

operation.

 

 

Fluorescent lamps:

These are not a problem because they do not produce

 

 

infrared light.

 

Sunlight:

This is not a problem if there is no direct exposure.

 

Incandescent light bulbs: These require caution because they produce the most

 

 

infrared light. Keep such light sources as far away as

 

 

possible from the touch panel.

Check for incorrect operation due to electrical noise

 

The microcomputer in the Touch Panel may operate incorrectly if any sources of

 

electrical noise are close to it. Keep such sources of electrical noise as far away as

 

possible from the Touch Panel.

 

 

Response is slow

Check for incorrect operation due to electrical noise

 

The microcomputer in the Touch Panel may operate incorrectly if any sources of

 

electrical noise are close to it. Keep such sources of electrical noise as far away as

 

possible from the Touch Panel.

 

Check object used for input (not by finger)

 

Check whether input is being done using an object smaller than a finger.

 

If input is attempted using an object smaller than 6 mm x 6 mm wide, the intermediate

 

coordinates of the infrared beam may not be detected. Do not attempt to enter data

 

using a device with dimensions of 2 mm by 2 mm or less.

 

This may slow detection or result in no detection at all.

 

 

There are times when

Did you touch the infrared transmissive area on the screen before the PC had

 

completed the starting of its OS?

 

If so, please restart your PC.
