The Display
The VX5 Display is a thin-film transistor display capable of supporting SVGA graphics modes.
Display size is 800 x 600 pixels. The display covering is designed to resist stains. The touch
screen allows signature capture and touch input.
The display supports screen blanking to eliminate driver distraction when the vehicle is in motion.
Please see “Technical Specifications – Screen Blanking Cable” earlier in this chapter and “Screen
Blanking Service” in Chapter 3, “System Configuration” for details.
Cleaning the Display
Keep fingers and rough or sharp objects away from the display. If the glass becomes soiled or
smudged, clean only with a standard household cleaner such as Windex® without vinegar or use
Isopropyl Alcohol. Do not use paper towels or harsh-chemical-based cleaning fluids since they
may result in damage to the glass surface. Use a clean, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not scrub optical
surfaces. If possible, clean only those areas which are soiled. Lint/particulates can be removed
with clean, filtered canned air.
Touchscreen
The touch screen is a Resistive Panel with a scratch resistant finish that can detect touches by a
stylus, and translate them into computer commands. In effect, it simulates a computer mouse.
Only Delrin or plastic styluses should be used.
Note: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the display. Never use
an actual pen, pencil or sharp object to write on the touch screen.
An extra or replacement stylus may be ordered from LXE. See the “Accessories” section for the
stylus part number.
Please refer to Chapter 3, “System Configuration” for more information on:
• Calibrating the touchscreen
• Disabling the touchscreen.
