Touch Screen Calibration

This feature is NOT applicable for all diagnostic tools, your tool may not have this option.

Calibrating the touch screen maintains the accuracy of the touch-sensitive display.

To avoid serious damage to the diagnostic tool, always complete the touch screen calibration sequence once it has begun. Never turn off the diagnostic tool while a screen calibration is in process.

Touch screen calibration

1. Select the center of each alignment indicator on the screen as they display in the corners of the screen, starting in the upper left corner.
2. Once all four indicators have been selected, the verification process starts the procedure again. Select the center of each alignment indicator when prompted.
If the calibration is successful, the “Touch Calibration Results - Passed” screen is displayed. Press the Y button to complete the process and return to the Display menu.
If the calibration is not successful, the “Touch Calibration Results - Failed” screen is displayed. Press the Y button to perform the procedure again.

The results screen shows the entered calibration of each indicator. Ideal calibration would be to select each indicator exactly in the center, however selection inside the displayed circle is acceptable. If selecting the center is difficult using your finger, use a touch screen stylus (not included).
