# NOTICE

The Display Brightness Decrease button (24) can only decrease the brightness down to 3% of the maximum brightness to avoid the user assuming by mistake the device being switched off when setting it to a very low brightness level. With the display dimmed to the lowest 3% brightness level, minor contour shadows will remain visible.

# Touchscreen Enable / Disable button (23)

This function is especially helpful for cleaning and disinfecting the front side of the device while it is in operation. Activating the Touchscreen Enable / Disable button (23) turns the touchscreen off and on again, allowing the device’s front panel to be cleaned without interrupting active applications.

To disable the touchscreen function, the Touchscreen Enable / Disable button (23) must be touched for at least 5 seconds until a red symbol appears in the lower right corner of the display (see figure below). This 5-second time delay prevents the user from deactivating the touchscreen unintentionally.

![4:39 PM\n3/4/2021](.mlc-s-series-50m-1z363-1010-11/9aaa52c50447ab2d361a4d50d6f3d0763102ac809b9a89525f66f1f494cc8051.jpg)

Figure 10: Touchscreen disabled indicator

To reactivate the touchscreen functionality, the Touchscreen Enable/Disable button (23) must be activated for at least 5 seconds until the red symbol in the lower right corner of the display is no longer visible, after which a blue confirmation rectangle appears in the same location for a brief period of time.

![Blue abstract geometric pattern with diagonal lines and a small circular icon at the bottom (no text or symbols)](.mlc-s-series-50m-1z363-1010-11/f81035057df1142ae91b27d882cf3609a43e630dbb5e913d01f9e9245b0bdd83.jpg)

Figure 11: All front touch buttons disabled except for the Touchscreen Enable/Disable button

Because of all front panel function buttons are capacitive touch type, all other front panel touch buttons are disabled when the touchscreen is disabled to avoid undesired activation of functions while cleaning the device. The backlight illumination of the other touch buttons (20) to (22) and (24) and (25) are also turned off to indicate that these keys are disabled for the user, until the touchscreen is enabled again.

# Call Onscreen Keyboard button (21)
