The active screen on the Topcon Sokkia FX Series may not be working due to the need for touch panel configuration. When using the device for the first time or after a cold boot, the screen for configuring the touch panel appears. The user must follow the instructions and tap the crosshairs at the center of the display with the stylus. If the screen is unresponsive, it may require recalibration or troubleshooting.
