Cautions and Warnings

1. Read these instructions completely before using the equipment.
2. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
3. Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.
4. Sit at least 18” / 45cm from the monitor.
5. When installing the monitor, please leave 10cm of open space around the monitor for ventilation safety purposes.
6. Always handle the display with care when moving it.
7. Exercise caution when removing the rear cover of the monitor. This monitor contains high-voltage parts.
8. Do not use this equipment near water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
9. Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that may increase the temperature of the monitor to dangerous levels.
10. Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If further cleaning is required, see “Cleaning the Display” in this guide for further instructions.
11. Avoid touching the screen. Skin oils are difficult to remove.
12. Do not touch, rub or apply pressure to the monitor screen, as it may permanently damage the screen.
13. Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
14. Do not place heavy objects on the display, video cable, or power cord.
15. If smoke appears, an abnormal noise or a strange odor is present, immediately switch the display off and call your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the display.
16. 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 adaptor and do not attempt to force the plug into the outlet.
17. When connecting to a power outlet, DO NOT remove the ground prong. Please ensure grounding prongs are NEVER REMOVED.
18. Protect the power cord from being trodden upon or pinched, particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from the equipment. Be sure that the power outlet is located near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
19. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
20. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the equipment. When a cart is used, use with caution when moving the cart/equipment combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
21.  Unplug this equipment when it will be unused for long periods of time.
22. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, if the liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the unit, if the unit is exposed to rain or moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped.
23.  Excessive sound pressure from ear-/headphones can cause hearing damage /hearing loss.
24. Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer may increase the ear-/ headphones output voltage and therefore, the sound volume level.
25. The factors influencing the ear-/headphone output other than those specified by the manufacturer (e.g. operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the ear-/ headphone output voltage and therefore, the sound volume level.

Driver Installation (Windows 10 Setup) In order to install the driver, first connect your monitor to your PC, boot up your PC (make sure to first turn on the monitor first) and make sure your internet is available. When the PC has finished booting up, your PC should auto-detect the monitor. To ensure auto-detection is successful, go to ‘Advanced Display Settings’ under your system ‘Display Settings’ (screen resolution) window. There you can verify your ViewSonic monitor has been recognized by your PC in the ‘Color Management’ section of your advanced settings.

If your PC has not auto-detected the monitor but is still functioning, you can download the driver from the ViewSonic website and install it then restart. your computer and follow the steps above again. It is not imperative for your computer to detect the monitor for normal use, but it is recommended. If you encounter additional problems or have questions, please contact Customer Support.

Adjusting the Screen Image

Setting the Timing Mode

Set your monitor resolution to its recommended resolution (see section “specification”) to get the best experience possible, with brilliant color and crisp text. Here is how:

1. Go to your display resolution settings window (each operating system will have a different process to get there).
2. Next, adjust the display resolution setting to match your monitor’s native resolution. This will provide you with the best usage experience.

If you have difficulty setting the resolution or you do not see the recommended resolution as an available option, you may need a newer video card driver. Contact your computer or video card manufacturer to obtain the latest driver. If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION until the screen image is completely visible. (*for analog only). (The black border around the edge of the screen should barely touch the illuminated “active area” of the LCD monitor.)

1. Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed this timing mode; doing so may result in permanent damage to the display.
2. The test condition follows EEI standard

Troubleshooting

No power

• Make sure the power button (or switch) is ON.
• Make sure the A/C power cord is securely connected to the display.
• Plug another electrical device (like a radio) into the power outlet to verify that the outlet is supplying proper voltage.
  The power is ON but no screen image
• Make sure the video cable supplied with the display is properly secured to the video output port on the back of the computer. If the other end of the video cable is not attached permanently to the display, properly secure it to the display.
• Adjust brightness and contrast.
  Wrong or abnormal colors
• If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper connection.
• Connect the display to another computer.
• If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic® for a non-DDC adapter.
  Control buttons do not work
• Press only one button at a time.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Safe Cleaning Practices

• Make sure the display is turned off.
  Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.

2. If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol-based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe the screen.

To clean the case:

1. Use a soft, dry cloth.
2. If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of a non-ammonia, non-alcohol-based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.

Disclaimer

• ViewSonic® does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the display screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/or case of the display.
• ViewSonic will not be liable for damage resulting from the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
