Safety Precauons
Please read the following Safety Precauons before you start using the device.
• Keep this user guide in a safe place for later reference.
• Read all warnings and follow all instructions.
• Do not use the device near water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do
not expose the device to moisture.
• Never remove the rear cover. This display contains high-voltage parts. You may
be seriously injured if you touch them.
• Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other devices (including amplifiers) that may increase the temperature of the
device to dangerous levels.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the external housing. For more information, refer
to the "Maintenance" section.
• When moving the device, be careful not to drop or bump the device on
anything.
• Do not place the device on an uneven or unstable surface. The device may fall
over resulting in an injury or a malfunction.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the device or connection cables.
• If smoke, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the
device off and call your dealer or ViewSonic®. It is dangerous to continue using
the device.
• The device is a monitor with an LED backlight intended for general office use.
• Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not
fit into your outlet, obtain an adapter and do not attempt to force the plug into
the outlet.
• When connecting to a power outlet, DO NOT remove the grounding
prong. Please ensure grounding prongs are NEVER REMOVED.
• Protect the power cord from being treaded upon or pinched,
particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from
the equipment. Ensure that the power outlet is located near the
equipment so that it is easily accessible.
3
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• When a cart is used, use with caution when moving the cart/equipment
combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
• Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet if the device is not being used for
a long period of time.
• Place the device in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the device
that prevents heat dissipation. Also, avoid any direct lighting.
4
• CAUTION:
Immediately unplug your device from the wall outlet and refer servicing to a
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
When the power supply cord or plug is damaged. If liquid has been spilled onto or objects have fallen into the unit. If the unit has been exposed to moisture. If the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped.
Never place the device in an unstable location. The device may fall, causing
serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the device. Only using furniture that can safely support the device. Ensuring the device is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture. Not placing the device on tall furniture (e.g., cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture and the device to a suitable support.
Not placing the device on cloth or other materials that may be located
between the device and supporting furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the
device or its controls.
If the existing device is going to be retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.
NOTE: The power cord and video cables included in your package may vary
depending on your country. Please contact your local reseller for more
informaon.

Calculang Breaks
When viewing screens for extended periods, it is recommended to take periodic
breaks from viewing. Short breaks of at least 10 minutes are recommended aer
one (1) hour of connuous viewing.
Taking shorter, more frequent breaks are generally more benecial than longer, less
frequent breaks.
Focus Fague (20-20-20 Rule)
To reduce the risk of eye fague by constantly looking at the screen, look away from
the screen at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet
away) for at least 20 seconds.
Looking at Distant Objects
While taking breaks, users can further reduce eye strain and dryness by focusing on
objects that are further away from them for 10-15 seconds, then gaze at something
up close for 10-15 seconds. Repeat this up to 10 mes. This exercise reduces the
risk of your eyes’ focusing ability to “lock up” aer prolonged computer work.
