Compliance Information

For U.S.A.

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

To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use grounded power supply cord and the
cables which are included with the equipment or specified. Also, any unauthorized changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate this device.

Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen image and
minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution (example 1024 x 768) and
refresh rate (or vertical frequency; example 85 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the
OSD (On Screen Display) controls to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to:

VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

1. Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows desktop > Properties > Settings > set the

resolution.

2. Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card’s user guide for instructions.

Note: The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD installation (or refer to

your graphics card documentation).

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.

Power is ON but no screen image

• 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.

• Verify whether 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 to verify the refresh rate (vertical frequency)
is 75 Hz or higher. See “Specifications” on page 11.

• Remove any devices from the area around the monitor that emit magnetic fields such as
radios, surge protectors, unshielded speakers, fluorescent lights, AC power converters,
desk fans, etc.

• 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.

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.

Entire screen image 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.
