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 highvoltage 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.
• Do not place your monitor near a source
of water or moisture.
• Place your monitor in a well ventilated
area. Do not place anything on the
monitor that blocks the ventilation slots
or prevents adequate dissipation of heat.
• 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 operate
your monitor under these conditions.
• Keep the monitor away from magnets,
motors, transformers and televisions.
