the existing hardware. Also connect
the Molex connector (orange and gray

If you are using the original touch-
screen, clean the glass on the new
LCD monitor with the supplied alcohol
wipe, then cut pieces of the supplied
1/2” foam tape long enough to cover
each edge of the monitor without over-
lapping. After the tape is in place on
the monitor, peel off the backing. Care-
fully place the touchscreen over the
monitor in the same manner it was at-
tached to the old monitor, making sure
the screen is properly and evenly
aligned over the glass, then connect
the cable to the LCD panel (see Figure
3). Clean the front of the touchscreen
with the supplied alcohol wipe once it
is in place.
