Special features

The touch controller, integrated in the front, is designed to automatically
compensate for changes in the surface tensions of the touch sensor (e.g. due
to large temperature fluctuations). As a consequence, however, this feature
may initiate an automatic calibration when exactly the same point is continually
pressed for a while (>15 seconds).

If this happens,

Do not touch the screen touched for a short time. It is then recalibrated to the
original state.

An incidentally located background function is activated by the software
ProTool/Pro if touched when setting the touch parameters in the window
Microtouch

Touchsettings: Desktop or when the screen saver is activated.

Warning

Do not touch the screen:

during the PC boot routine (until the acoustic BEEP signal),

when plugging USB components in or out, and

if the warning message

Do not touch the screen...

appears. Wait

at least 1 second after the message has disappeared.
