Abstract
A graphic underlay for a capacitive touch screen system is positioned between the display and the touch screen. The positioning of the graphic underlay protects the graphic underlay from wear and prevents the graphic underlay from interfering with the touch sensing operation. The graphic underlay is held between a plastic retainer attached to a front bezel and the touch screen. The graphic underlay includes tabs for easing the placement and removal of the graphic underlay. The graphic underlay or graphic sheet includes visual indicia related to menus, controls, background, or other symbols for use in a touch screen system. The graphic underlay may be accessed by pivotally opening a front enclosure from a rear enclosure and pivotally opening a pan from the front enclosure.
