LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS THAT MAY APPLY TO YOU. THIS DOCUMENT CONTAINS A DISPUTE RESOLUTION CLAUSE.

a written agreement signed by both you and Dell. If you do not receive an invoice or acknowledgement in the mail, via e-mail, or with your Product,
information about your purchase may be obtained at https://support.dell.com/dellcare/Invoice.aspx or by contacting your sales representative.
2. Payment Terms; Orders; Quotes; Interest. Terms of payment are within Dell's sole discretion, and unless otherwise agreed to by Dell, payment must

be made at the time of purchase. Payment for Product may be made by credit card, wire transfer, or some other prearranged payment method. Dell may

discount,Dell'sstandardpricingpolicyforDell™-branded systems, which include both hardware and services in one discounted price, allocates the
discount off list price applicable to the service portion of the system to be equal to the overall calculated percentage discount off list price on the entire
system. Dell is not responsible for pricing, typographical, or other errors, in any offer by Dell and reserves the right to cancel any orders resulting from
such errors.
3. Shipping Charges; Taxes; Title; Risk of Loss. Shipping and handling are additional unless otherwise expressly indicated at the time of sale. Title to

responsibility. Loss or damage that occurs during shipping by a carrier selected by you is your responsibility. You must notify Dell within 21 days of the
date of your invoice or acknowledgement if you believe any part of your purchase is missing, wrong or damaged. Unless you provide Dell with a valid
and correct tax exemption certificate applicable to your purchase of Product and the Product ship-to location, you are responsible for sales and other
taxes associated with the order. Shipping dates are estimates only. Title to software will remain with the applicable licensor(s).

CAUTION:General Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your equipment and working environment from potential
damage.
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USE IN HEALTHCARE ENVIRONMENTS: Dell products are not medical devices and are not listed under UL or IEC 60601 (or
equivalent). As a result, they must not be used within 6 feet of a patient or in a manner that directly or indirectly contacts a patient.
SAFETY: General Safety
When setting up the equipment for use:
lPlace the equipment on a hard, level surface. Leave 10.2 cm (4 in) minimum of clearance on all vented sides of the computer to permit the airflow
required for proper ventilation. Restricting airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.
lDo not stack equipment or place equipment so close together that it is subject to re-circulated or preheated air.
lEnsure that nothing rests on your equipment's cables and that the cables are not located where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
lDo not place your equipment in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.
lKeep your device away from radiators and heat sources.
lKeep your equipment away from extremely hot or cold temperatures to ensure that it is used within the specified operating range.
lDo not push any objects into the air vents or openings of your equipment. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.
lAvoid placing loose papers underneath your device. Do not place your device in a closed-in wall unit, or on a soft, fabric surface such as a bed, sofa,
carpet, or a rug.
When operating your equipment:
lDo not use your equipment in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.
lDo not use AC powered equipment during an electrical storm. Battery powered devices may be used if all cables have been disconnected.
lIf your device includes an integrated or optional (PC card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote
risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.
lIf your device includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG)
and an FCC compliant RJ-11 modular plug.
lThis product may contain Optical Disk Drives (ODD), such as a CD-ROM, CDR/W, DVD drive, etc., which have built-in laser devices. To prevent any risk of
exposure to laser radiation, do not disable or open any ODD assembly for any reason.
These ODDs comply with safety requirements and are classified as Class 1 Laser Products, under the US DHHS Standard and IEC/EN60825-1 Laser
Safety Standard. These ODD devices contain no user adjustments nor any user serviceable or replaceable parts.
lDo not spill food or liquids on your equipment.
lBefore you clean your equipment, disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Clean your device with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquids or
aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.
lClean the portable computer or monitor display with a soft, clean cloth and water. Apply the water to the cloth, then stroke the cloth across the display
in one direction, moving from the top of the display to the bottom. Remove moisture from the display quickly and keep the display dry. Long-term
exposure to moisture can damage the display. Do not use a commercial window cleaner to clean your display.
NOTE: Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product
(s). Remove any confidential, proprietary or personal information, removable media, such as floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not
responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
NOTE: In this section, equipment refers to all portable devices (computers, port replicators, media bases, docking stations, and similar devices), desktop
computers, and monitors. After reading this section, be sure to read the safety instructions pertaining to your specific equipment.
NOTE: Review the weight limits referenced in your computer documentation before placing a monitor or other devices on top of your computer.
CAUTION: Do not operate your equipment with any cover(s) (including computer covers, bezels, filler brackets, front-panel inserts, etc.)
removed.
lIf your equipment does not operate normally - in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it - unplug it immediately and contact
an authorized dealer or service center.
SAFETY: When Working Inside Your Device
Do not attempt to service the equipment yourself, except as explained in your Dell documentation or in instructions otherwise provided to you by Dell.
Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
lTo help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables, or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of your
equipment during an electrical storm.
PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.
SAFETY: General Power Safety
Observe the following guidelines when connecting your equipment to a power source:
lCheck the voltage rating before you connect the equipment to an electrical outlet to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the
available power source.
lYour device is equipped with either an internal power source or an external adapter. For internal power sources, your device is equipped with one of
the following:
¡An auto-sensing voltage circuit - Devices with an auto-sensing voltage circuit do not have a voltage selection switch on the back panel and
automatically detect the correct operating voltage.
OR
¡A manual voltage selection switch - Devices with a voltage selection switch on the back panel must be manually set to operate at the correct
operating voltage. Set the switch to the position that most closely matches the voltage used in your location.
To help avoid damaging a computer with a manual voltage selection switch, set the switch for the voltage that most closely matches the AC power available in
your location.
For Japan, the voltage selection switch must be set to the 115-V position even though the AC power available in Japan is 100 V. Also, ensure that your
monitor and attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
lDo not plug the equipment power cables into an electrical outlet if the power cable is damaged.
lTo prevent electric shock, plug the equipment power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. If the equipment is provided with a 3-prong power
cable, do not use adapter plugs that bypass the grounding feature, or remove the grounding feature from the plug or adapter.
lNorway and Sweden: If this product is provided with a 3-prong power cable, connect the power cable to a grounded electrical outlet only.
lIf you use an extension power cable, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the
ampere rating of the extension cable.
lIf you must use an extension cable or power strip, ensure the extension cable or power strip is connected to a wall power outlet and not to another
extension cable or power strip. The extension cable or power strip must be designed for grounded plugs and plugged into a grounded wall outlet.
lIf you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to
insert a plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to your equipment, as well as risk of electric shock
and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.
lBe sure to grasp the plug, not the cable, when disconnecting equipment from an electric socket.
If your equipment uses an AC adapter:
lUse only the Dell provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.
Refer to your system rating label for information on the proper adapter model approved for use with your device.
lPlace the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not
cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.
lThe AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your computer. Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.
lIt is recommended that you lay the adapter on the floor or desk so that the green light is visible. This will alert you if the adapter should accidentally go
off due to external effects. If for any reason the green light goes off, disconnect the AC power cord from the wall for a period of ten seconds, and then
reconnect the power cord.
lJapan Only: Use only the Dell-provided AC power cable with the AC adapter. Use of any other power cable may damage the device or AC adapter or
may present risk of fire or electric shock.
NOTE: The switch on your system may be different than the one pictured.
Connecting the AC Plug Adapter (Japan Only)
1. Connect the metal ground connector to the grounding source on the outlet:
a. Loosen the grounding source.
b. Slide the metal ground connector behind the grounding source, and then tighten the grounding source.
2. Connect the AC power cable to the outlet.
SAFETY: If Your Device Gets Wet
1. Disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then, if possible, disconnect the AC adapter from the device.
2. Turn off any attached external devices, then disconnect them from their power sources, and then from the device.
3. For Portables : Remove the main battery from the battery bay, and if necessary, the second battery from the module bay.
Wipe off the batteries and put them in a safer place to dry.
4. Contact Dell support (see your User's Guide or Owner's Manual for the appropriate contact information).
SAFETY: If You Drop or Damage Your Computer or Monitor
CAUTION: When preparing your AC adapter for travel, wrap both of the cords around the adapter in the same direction as shown in the following
picture. Failure to wrap the cords in the correct direction can result in damage to the cords not covered by the adapter warranty. Never use an AC
adapter that shows signs of damage or excessive wear.
CAUTION: When using the AC plug adapter, do not permit contact between the green ground wire and power leads because electrical shock, fire,
or damage to your computer can occur.
NOTE: Some devices available in Japan do not include the AC plug adapter.
CAUTION: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, see the SAFETY: General Safety section of this document.
CAUTION: Perform this procedure only after you are certain that it is safe to do so. If the computer is connected to an electrical outlet, turn off
the AC power at the circuit breaker, if possible, before attempting to remove the power cables from the electrical outlet. Use the utmost caution
when removing wet cables from a live power source.
NOTE: See the Limited Warranties and Return Policy section of this document or separate paper warranty document that shipped with your monitor or
computer for information on your warranty coverage.
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, and shut down the computer.
2. Disconnect the computer or monitor AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and then, if possible, disconnect the AC adapter from the computer or monitor.
3. Turn off any attached external devices, then disconnect them from their power sources, and then from the computer.
4. If provided, remove and then reinstall the battery. If not battery powered, connect the device to the electrical outlet.
5. Turn on the device.
If the device does not start, or if and smoke or unusual odors are detected, or if you cannot identify the damaged components, contact Dell (see your User's
Guide or Owner's Manual for the appropriate contact information).
CAUTION: Monitor Safety Instructions
Review the sections on General Safety Instructions and Power Safety in this document.
Read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer monitor:
lAlways be sure that your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in your location.
NOTE: This monitor does not need or have a voltage selection switch for setting the AC voltage input. It will automatically accept any AC input voltage
according to the ranges defined in the "Electrical Specifications" section in the User's Guide.
lPlace the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.
lKeep flat panel monitor in room temperature conditions. Excessive cold or hot conditions can have an adverse effect on the liquid crystal of the display.
lDo not subject the monitor to severe vibration or high impact conditions. For example, do not place the monitor inside a car trunk.
lUnplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
lTo avoid electric shock, do not attempt to remove any cover or touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified service technician should open the
monitor case.

About Your Touch Screen Software
Dell provides touch screen software that allows your touchmonitor to work with your computer. Drivers are located on the CD included with your monitor. The
Dell Xpu driver supports the E157FPT Touch screen Monitor. While the touch screen software supports both Windows XP and Windows 2000, this manual uses

lWhether the touch action occurs when you touch the screen or when you lift your finger (or pen) off the screen.
lWhether you hear a sound when you touch the screen.
lHow fast you need to touch to produce a double-click.
lA Video Alignment (calibration) utility, that lets you calibrate the touch screen directly without opening the Touch screen software control panel.
lA Touch screen Software Uninstall utility that automatically deletes all Touch screen software components from your computer and removes all Touch
screen software entries from the system files.

2. Select the General Tab, then click Align.
3. A target appears on the screen. Touch the calibration target firmly and precisely with your fingertip. Be careful to keep your other fingers away from the
touch screen as you touch the target.
4. Repeat these instructions for additional calibration targets.
Recalibrate the touch screen if any of the following tests fail.
lTouch random points on the screen. The cursor should be located underneath your finger or pen when you touch the screen.

Properties
A Properties page is created for each touch screen controller installed by EloSetup and for each serial port reserved for a controller, even if that controller is
not present. A number is assigned to each Properties page that is related to the order in which controllers or ports were detected or enumerated. Each
Properties page contains information extracted from the touch screen controller and the system about the monitor, touch screen, controller, and internal
driver.
Screen Information
lWindows Monitor Number lists the monitor that corresponds to the "Windows Monitor" from the Windows Display Properties control panel.
lTouch screen Type: IntelliTouch.
lInstalled On indicates USB or lists the Windows COM port that a serial touch screen is installed on.
lController Model lists the marketing model number of the controller attached. It also lists the revision of the firmware loaded in the controller.
lController Status indicates either "Working properly" or reflects any errors reported from the controller.
lDriver Version lists the version number of the internal driver being used for serial and USB devices as appropriate.
lThe Video Alignment and Advanced buttons appears for touchscreens that have been calibrated.
lThe Identify Monitor button displays the Dell logo on the monitor associated with this Properties page for about one second each time this button is
touched.
lThe EloVA icon will launch the video alignment program only for the monitor associated with the current Properties page. Running EloVA from the
Properties page avoids the need to align all monitors in a multiple monitor application when only a single monitor alignment is desired.
lIf a serial port is reserved for a touch screen controller that is not actually installed, the only information contained in the Screen information section of
the associated Properties page is the number of the Windows COM port. No Screen configuration icons are displayed.

Dell Right Mouse Button Tool (RMBT)
Right Mouse Button tool allows a Windows right mouse button simulation on the touch screen.
A representation of a typical two-button mouse is displayed in a small window on the desktop, when this application is run. The initial presentation of the
RMBT shows the left button shaded, indicating that the left button is active. Any touch on the desktop or an application will produce a left button click
consistent with the Button settings in the Control Panel.
A touch in the RMBT will change the shading to show the right mouse button active. Now any touch on this monitor on which RMBT is running will produce a
right button click.
NOTE: Right click on hold is enabled only in "Mouse emulation" touch mode.
Typically, a right button action will activate a new dialog box for some function similar to mouse right button click. When that dialog box is touched, or any
other touch on the touch monitor is made, this touch will be a left button event. Simultaneously, the mouse button shading in the RMBT will toggle back to the
left button.
After activating the right-button state, touch the RMBT again to display the menu that allows you to:
Launch the Dell Touch screen Properties dialog, close the right button utility.
You can drag the RMBT to any location on the desktop by touching it and holding the touch until the crossed arrows appear.
lThe RMBT may also be dragged with the standard mouse.
lThe RMBT cannot be resized.
lThe RMBT can be run for every touchmonitor from the Dell Control Panel " Properties tab.
