Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic® color monitor. Important!

Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.

NOTE: The word “Windows” in this user guide refers to the following Microsoft

operating systems: Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows Me (Millennium), and Windows XP.

Package Contents

Your package includes:

• Color monitor

• DB-15 video cable (attached)

• Power cord

• ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM

NOTE:

The CD jacket contains the Quick Start Guide, and the CD includes the User Guide PDF files and INF/ICM display optimization files. The INF file ensures compatibility with Windows operating systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen colors. ViewSonic recommends that you install both files.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least 18" from the monitor.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the skin are difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR COVER. The monitor contains high voltage parts. You may suffer serious injury if you touch these parts.

• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or another heat source, including an open flame. The monitor should be facing away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.

• Always handle your monitor with care when moving it.

• Place your monitor in a well ventilated area. Do not place anything on the monitor that prevents adequate dissipation of heat.

• Ensure the area around the monitor is clean and free of moisture.

• Keep the monitor away from magnets, motors, transformers, speakers, and televisions.

• Do not place heavy objects on the monitor, video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the monitor off and call your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the monitor.
