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.
NOTE: This product was designed for operation in the magnetic fields of the
hemisphere where it was purchased.
Package Contents
Your G810 package includes:
•G810 monitor
•DB-15 video cable
•Power cord
•ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM
NOTE: The CD jacket contains the Quick Start Guide, and the CD includes the

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 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.

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.
•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 12.
•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.

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 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.
CE Conformity for Europe only
The device complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC as
amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC Art.5 with regard to “Electromagnetic
compatibility," and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC Art.13 with regard to “Safety."
