This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Warning:

Troubleshooting
No power
•Make sure power button (or switch) is ON.
•Make sure A/C power cord is securely connected to the back of the
monitor and to a power outlet.
•Plug another electrical device (like a radio) into the power outlet to verify
that the outlet is supplying proper voltage.

•Make sure the video cable supplied with the monitor is tightly 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 monitor, tightly secure it to
the monitor.
•Adjust brightness and contrast.
•Check this user's guide to see if an adapter is required for proper signal
continuity between graphics card and monitor.
Flickering
•Not enough power supplied. Connect the monitor to a different outlet. If
using a surge protector, reduce the number of devices plugged in.
®
•Check the ViewMeter
from the main menu (page 9) to verify the refresh
rate (vertical frequency) is 75 Hz or higher. See Specifications.
•Make sure the graphics card in your computer can use non-interlaced
mode at the desired frequencies. To enable your graphics card to support
higher refresh rates, try selecting fewer colors or running lower
resolutions.
•Remove any devices from the area around the monitor that emits
magnetic fields such as radios, surge protectors, unshielded speakers,
fluorescent lights, AC power converters, desk fans, etc.
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 monitor to another computer.
•Select Degauss from the Main Menu.
Do this only once.
•If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic® Customer Support
for a non-DDC adapter.
Entire screen image scrolls (rolls) vertically
•Make sure video input signals are within the monitor's specified frequency
range.
•Try the monitor with another power source, graphics card, or computer
system.
•Connect the video cable securely.
Control buttons do not work
•Press only one button at a time.
