Connecting the Optional Touchscreen

If your monitor has this optional feature, connect the monitor’s 9-pin D-sub
serial port to the computer’s 9-pin RS-232 serial port using the cable that came
with the touchscreen package.

Next, connect the male end of the RS-232 cable to the 9-pin serial port at the
back of the monitor (see Figure 6).

Note: Follow the instructions included on the enclosed CD for installing the
touchscreen drivers on your system. If you have questions, contact your
system provider or Planar Systems, Inc. at www.planar.com for the
touchscreen driver and installation instructions. Following driver software
installation, calibrate your touchscreen to the system following the
procedure described on the enclosed CD.
