Unpacking
Put a protective pad on a work surface so the monitor can be placed face-down on the pad. Remove the accessory package from the box, then lift the packaging and monitor out of the box. Remove the packaging protector pieces, then remove the monitor from the protective plastic bag. Remove the plastic screen protector from the front of the monitor
(NOTE: the touchscreen may not function if the protective cover is not completely removed). Place the monitor face-down on the protective pad with the bottom of the monitor furthest from you (the wider part of the stand footplate will be toward you). Pull the footplate of the stand up until the stand is fully extended. Now pick the monitor up and rotate it 180 degrees so the top of the monitor is furthest from you. Rotate the stand toward the top of the monitor to facilitate cable routing and installation.

Control Buttons

I/O Port Locations

Input/Output Connectors

DC IN: Optional power connector (Center pin: + 12 vdc; Barrel: ground).
LINE OUT: Line-level audio output. Audio is supplied by the USB-C or HDMI connection. Amplification is required.
HDMI: Optional Digital video input.
USB-C: USB Type-C, capable of single-cable operation (power, video and touch output) – see Configuration and Cable Options section below. USB-C is the Touch output when HDMI video is used.
USB: General purpose USB Type-A input/output hub.

Cable Covers, Cable Routing and Securing the Cables
Place a protective pad on a work surface, then place the monitor face-down on the pad with the top of the monitor furthest from you. Rotate the stand toward the top of the monitor.
Remove the snap-on plastic cable guide from the center of the stand. The monitor is shipped with the Landscape-orientation cable cover halves installed on the back of the monitor. To remove the cable cover to access the I/O and power connectors, slip your fingers or a screwdriver into the open slot and pull the bottom of the bottom cover away from the monitor. Determine which cables are to be used (next section, Configuration and Cable Options). Pass the required cable or cables up through the hole in the stand, just above the center of the footplate. Connect the cables to the monitor. After the cables have been installed, route the cables toward the center. If the power converter is being used, the cylindrical electrical noise suppressor on the power cable will need to be pushed into the cavity at the side. The stick-on cable holders may be used to help route the cables – remove the backing tape and press into place. There are also two slots at the bottom of the cable opening where the included cable ties can be used to secure the cables more permanently. Position the six tabs on the straight side of the cable cover into the slots in the monitor and rotate the cover toward the monitor until it snaps into place. Gather the cables at the center of the stand, then snap the plastic cable cover back onto the center of the stand.

Configuration and Cable Options
Single-cable option: The USB Type-C cable can supply monitor power, video signal, audio signal and touch functionality if the computer/source equipment has a USB Type-C output that is capable of supplying those functions (USB Type-C with DP ALT mode and 12VDC @ 5A power). Not all USB Type-C sources have all the functionality; consult the documentation for your equipment. It is very important that the MicroTouch-supplied USB Type-C cable be used when using the single cable option.
Multiple-cable options: If the computer/source equipment does not have a USB Type-C port that supports 12VDC @ 5A power output, power is supplied by the included AC-to-DC power converter’s fixed 12 volt DC cable connector. Plug the DC barrel connector into the DC IN jack on the monitor. Plug the AC power cable female connector into the receptacle on the power converter, then plug the male connector of the AC cable into a wall outlet.
If the computer/source equipment does not have a USB Type-C port that supports DP ALT mode, then connect the HDMI cable from the computer/source equipment to the monitor. Also, find the USB Type C-to-A cable and connect the Type-C end to the monitor and the Type-A end to the computer/source equipment to supply the Touch output.

Optional Portrait-orientation Using the Stand
The Landscape orientation cable cover and upper cover half must be removed in order to remove and reorient the stand. Remove the cable cover per above. Remove the upper cover half by inserting a screwdriver into the slot at the end of the straight side of the cover, then pulling or prying the cover loose at that end, Repeat on the other end. The cover can then be pulled away from the monitor. Remove the four screws that secure the stand, folding the stand up or down for access to all the screws. Rotate the stand 90 degrees and reinstall the screws. Connect the cables and install the included Portrait- orientation cable covers – insert the tabs on the curved end into the holes in the monitor, then push on the straight end to snap the cover into place. To remove the covers, insert a flat blade screwdriver into the middle of the straight end, then pry to cover away from the monitor.

Accessory Connectors
Accessory ports/mounts are provided on the top and bottom and each side of the monitor. These ports are only to be used with appropriate Microtouch accessories. Accessories are powered and operated by a USB Type-C connector at each port. Do not attempt to power the monitor by any of these ports. To remove an accessory port cover, insert a very small screwdriver or a thin pointed tool into the notch in the center of the cover, then pry the cover away from the monitor. To install an accessory, connect the accessory’s cable, then attach the accessory using the screws provided with it.

Turning the Monitor On and Off
If the monitor does not come on when power is applied, press and release the power switch (right side of the bottom of the monitor as viewed from the front). The monitor should come on and find the correct video source within 10 seconds. To turn the monitor off, press and hold the power button until the monitor turns off (approximately 5 seconds).
Note: If there is no video input signal for a preset period, the monitor will automatically go into standby mode.

Cleaning
Turn off the product and disconnect from AC power before cleaning. Turning the product off protects against accidental touch selections that could cause problems or hazardous results. Disconnecting power protects against hazardous interaction between accidental liquid entry and electricity. To clean the case, dampen a clean cloth lightly with water and a mild detergent and wipe gently. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean areas that have ventilation openings to avoid getting any liquid or moisture inside. If liquid does get inside, do not use the product until it has been inspected and tested by a  qualified service technician.  To clean the touch screen, apply a glass cleaning solution to a soft cloth and wipe the screen clean. To ensure that liquid does not enter the product, do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the touch  screen or any other part. Do not use volatile solvents, waxes or any abrasive cleaners on any part of the product.

Solutions to Common Problems
