Important Product Safety Instructions

Attention:

Follow and obey all warnings and instructions marked on your product. For your safety, please read all the safety and operating instructions before you operate this product. Keep this user guide for future reference.

Installation

1 Grounding or Polarization
Your product may be equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not alter the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
2 Overloading
Do not overload well outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result fire or electronic shock.
3 Power Cord Protection
Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords near plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
4 Ventilation
Slots and openings on the cabinet is provided for ventilation purposes. To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
• Do not block the openings by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.
• Do not place the product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instruction have been adhered to.
5 Other Notices
• Avoid exposing the N3200w to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
• Avoid exposing the N3200w to moisture or high humidity.
• Do not attempt repairs yourself. Your warranty does not cover repairs or attempted repairs by anyone not authorized by ViewSonic.
• If your N3200w will not be used for a long period of time, unplug and remove the batteries from the remote control.
6 Precautions
Sit at least two metres from your LCD.
Avoid touching the screen. Skin oils are difficult to remove. Never remove the rear cover. Your LCD contains high-voltage parts. You may be seriously
injured if you touch them.
• Avoid exposing your LCD to direct sunlight or another heat source. Orient your LCD away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
• Always handle your LCD with care when moving it.
• Place your LCD in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on your LCD that prevents heat dissipation.
• Ensure the around the LCD is clean and free of moisture.
• Do not place heavy objects on the LCD, video cable, or power cord.
• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the LCD off and call your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the LCD.

Antenna Installation Instructions

1 Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to avoid voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
2 Lightning
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm as lightning may strike while you are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your LCD and wait for the weather to improve.
3 Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching the power lines or circuits as contact with them may be fatal.

Cleaning the LCD

MAKE SURE THE LCD IS TURNED OFF
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR ANY LIQUID DIRECTLY ONTO THE SCREEN OR CASE
To clean the screen:
1. Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
2. If still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto
a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe the screen.
To clean the case:
1. Use a soft, dry cloth.
2. If still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-
abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.
Disclaimer
ViewSonic does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the LCD screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/ or LCD case. ViewSonic will not be liable for damage resulting from use of any ammonia or alcohol­based cleaners.
