Features • The brightness control allows you to easily adjust the display to match the ambient light, from full sunlight to night, even while wearing gloves. Its convenient dial design also enables you to quickly adjust the brightness. • The monitor’s transflective display uses reflected light from the environment - even direct sunlight - to provide a bright image that can be easily viewed under any lighting conditions.

LX1200 Touch Monitor Power Input Cable Quick Start Guide SoftKey Software and Touchscreen Driver Installation CD Note: Mounting hardware (4 M4 x .7mm Screws), power supply and connecting cables are sold separately.
Installation Before Installing Keep the following in mind while installing the monitor. • The monitor should be visible to the driver only if it is used for navigation, system control or vehicle information. If the monitor will be used for other purposes, it should be installed in such a way that it will only operate while the vehicle is not moving (such as when the parking brake is in use). Review all applicable state and local laws and regulations to make sure the monitor is used properly and safely.
Step 1 - Mounting the Monitor The back of the LX1200TI includes a mounting interface that you can use to mount the monitor on a swing arm or other LCD monitor fixture, as follows. ! IMPORTANT – For optimal results, use the M4 mounting holes around the edges of the monitor. 1. Mount the fixture in its planned location according to the instructions included with the fixture. 2. Attach the monitor to the fixture using the attachments on the back of the monitor, shown in the following diagram.
Step 2 - IRtouch Install Do not plug in the touchscreen yet! Install the driver first. 1. Run IRtouch driver setup from the LX1200TI CD 2. Accept user agreement 3.

11. Set Modes When used in rugged environments with software written for touchscreens, you may find it easier to use the ‘click on release’ radio button. 12. Beep You can set the computer to beep on touch activation if needed.
Step 3 - Connecting the Monitor Once the LX1200TI is mounted in place, connect it to the computer (or other video source) and the 12 VDC power supply as follows. Note: This procedure refers to connections to and from the computer. However, depending on your particular hardware configuration, these connections may be to a dock or other device rather than directly to the computer. 1. As needed, route any data and power cables from the computer to the monitor. 2. Make sure the computer is turned off. 3.
Note: If needed, connect an audio cable to the audio port on the monitor, and to the headphone or audio line output connector on the computer. If an external keyboard or other USB device will be used with the monitor, plug it into either of the monitor’s Type A USB connectors. Two USB devices can be connected to the monitor. The following figure shows typical connections. Keyboard (optional) 12V Power Source USB VGA Remote PC Shutdown Audio Computer 5. Turn on power to the computer.

Turning the Monitor On and Off The monitor’s power button controls power to the computer. The monitor itself turns its display on and off according to whether it is receiving a video signal. • To turn on the computer, press the remote PC shutdown/start button on the front of the monitor. The monitor then turns on when it receives a good video signal from the computer (and the monitor’s power indicator turns from red to green). • To turn off the computer, press the remote PC shutdown/start button again.
Cleaning the Monitor Clean the monitor’s touchscreen periodically to keep the display image bright and sharp, and to keep the touchscreen functions working properly. • Always turn off the monitor before cleaning. • Clean the touchscreen only with a dry soft cloth. If this does not clean the screen adequately, use water or mild glass or window cleaner (that does not contain ammonia) applied to the cloth and not to the display. ! CAUTION – Do not apply liquids to the display.
