Also, keep the touch screen cable away from sources of electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. WARNING To avoid the risk of electric shock which could result in serious injury or death: • Do not use a damaged power supply. • Do not use a power cord that is frayed or otherwise damaged. Testing the M170 FPD Note: The M170 FPD has a power status LED located on the front of the bezel. After connection, turn on the power switch located on the front bezel. Before you test your touch monitor, make sure all cables are connected properly and routed through the cable management system. Be sure to tighten all cable screws. To test that the monitor is working properly: 1. Turn on your computer. 2. Make sure the video image is displayed. If it is not, turn on your monitor. Ensure the LED is green – orange indicates power but no signal. 3. Make sure the video image is centered within the screen area. Use the monitor controls to adjust the image, if necessary. Perform an Auto Config first, then if you wish you can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and brightness to better suit your video card and your personal preference.
