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. The monitor should be
facing away from direct sunlight
to reduce glare.

• Always handle your monitor with
care when moving it.

•

Choose a well ventilated area to
position your monitor. 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.

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 75
Hertz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView® controls (pages 7-9) to
adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this monitor is:

To set the Timing Mode:

1 Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows® desktop > Properties >

Settings > Desktop Area > set the resolution.

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

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,
select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.

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 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.

• 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 non­DDC adapter.

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.

FCC Warning:

To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use grounded power supply cord and the
provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is going to be
used, use only a shielded BNC(5) cable. 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.

Power Supply Cord (USA)

For units with 100 - 120V input voltage in the USA, use the following :
UL Listed and CSA Certified Type SVT or SJT No. 18/3 AWG rated 125Vac 7 A min.
One end terminated in a molded on parallel blade, grounding attachment cap or hooded attachment cap
(15A, 125V configuration), other end terminated in a mold-on appliance coupler.

Notice for Germany

The x-rays generated in this unit are shielded sufficiently. High voltage: Max. 30 kV. Also, for ergonomic reasons, we
recommend that you do not display blue characters on a dark background. Doing so may produce insufficient contrast that
could lead to eye strain.

Notice for Japan

This is a Class B product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference from Information Technology
Equipment (VCCI). If this is used near a radio or television receiver in a domestic environment, it may cause radio
interference. Install and use the equipment according to the instruction manual.
