The front view primarily shows the color touch screen LCD. See below for descriptions 

of the Energy Platform front panel.

Mainframe Protective Rubber Boot Enclosure

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). Provides 3.75 x 4.75 inches display 

consisting of 1/4 VGA size screen of text and graphic information. The 

color LCD is equipped with touch screen technology, operable using the 

finger and/or PDA stylus. Touch screen display permits menu selection, 

alphanumeric data entry, and has a compact fluorescent (CCFL) 

backlighting that is always on for low light level viewing.
The following are some basic care instructions for the LCD monitor:

• Use and store the unit within the specified temperature and humidity 

range. The LCD screen may be adversely affected by exposure to high 

temperature or humidity. Condensation or moisture produced by 

sudden temperature changes may also damage the LCD screen. Clean 

any moisture from surface immediately.

• Be careful when cleaning or removing stains on the LCD surface. 

Gently wipe the surface with a soft cloth or cotton pad. Isopropyl 

alcohol may be used, but make sure that all solvent residue is removed.

• Do not apply excessive force to the LCD surface. The LCD screen 

contains sensitive electronic components that may be damaged due to 

strong impact.
