The QOMO Journey is a touch screen smart panel that you can control with a stylus or with your fingers.

Displaying and controlling the Computer image:

When you first turn on the panel it will default to the Home screen.

You will see a small window of the computer image labeled ‘HDMI2’ in the middle of the screen. If you select the window it will bring up your computer.

There is a keyboard on the left hand side of the panel, you can use it when typing on screen text or searching a web address.
