• If smoke, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the device off and call your dealer or ViewSonic®. It is dangerous to continue using the device.
• Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not fit into your outlet, obtain an adapter and do not attempt to force the plug into the outlet.
• When connecting to a power outlet, Do not remove the grounding prong. Please ensure grounding prongs are never removed.
• Always route and manage cords and cables connected to your device so they cannot be tripped over, pulled, or grabbed.
• Protect the power cord from being trodden upon or pinched, particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from the equipment. Ensure that the power outlet is located near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
• Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet if the device is not being used for a long period.
• Please confirm the distribution system installed in the building. The system should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
• Only use attachments/accessories, such as carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables, specified by the manufacturer.
• When a cart is used, use with caution when moving the cart/equipment combination to avoid injury from tipping over.

Initial Setup

Tilt Angle Adjustment
Tilt the monitor backward to the desired viewing angle via the attached stand (30˚ to 53˚).

NOTE:
When adjusting, support the monitor firmly with one hand while tilting the stand backward with the other hand.

Using the Stand

NOTE: 
Always place the device on a flat, stable surface. Failure to do so may cause the device to fall and damage the device and/or result in personal injury.

Connecting to Power
The monitor can be powered in any of the following configurations:

• Type C Connection
• Type A Connection
• Power Adapter

 

NOTE: 
For more information, please see “Power Delivery” on page 12.

Connecting External Devices
Your external device(s) can be connected in any of the following configurations:

Type C Connection
Connect a Type C cable from your external device to a Type C port on the monitor.

Power Supply Detection
This product will detect if the power supply device is an adapter, laptop, or mobile phone.

• If the power source is an adapter or notebook, the default brightness value will be 100.
• If the power source is a mobile phone, the default brightness value will be 15.
• When using a mobile phone to power the monitor, the default brightness level will be 15.

NOTE: 
Due to the limited power output of the mobile phone, do not adjust the brightness level higher as this may cause the display to flash or shut down.

Power Delivery – Further Information
Due to the VA1655’s design please note:

• The first connected device will be the main input signal.
• When a Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will only distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.
• Only when one of the Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the other one deliver two-way power.

If a laptop is connected first to the VA1655, then a mobile phone is connected  second, the mobile phone’s battery will not be charged as neither Type C port recognizes the connection as being connected to a power adapter
NOTE:
If you want to display the mobile phone’s screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the laptop. If a mobile phone is connected first to the VA1655, then a laptop is connected second, and the mobile phone’s battery will be charged as one of the Type C ports is recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE:
If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the mobile phone. Due to the VA1655’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a desktop computer at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).

NOTE: 

• If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the VA1655.
• Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 to another laptop or desktop computer via Type A and HDMI at the same time.
• If the laptop only has HDMI and Type-A ports, please connect via HDMI and Type-A to Type C to the VA1655.
• If the power output of the Type A port of the laptop is not greater than 10W, please use our power adapter to connect to the VA1655.
• Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.
