FCC Information
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 the grounded power supply cord
and the provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. 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.

Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic PF775 color monitor.
Important! Save the original box and all packing material for future
shipping needs.
NOTE: This product was designed for operation in the magnetic fields of the
hemisphere where it was purchased. Also, the word "Windows®" in this user
guide refers to the following Microsoft® operating systems: Windows '95,
Windows '98, Windows NT® (4.0).
Package Contents
Your ViewSonic PF775 package includes:
Getting Started
• ViewSonic PF775 monitor
• Power cord
• Video cable (detachable)
• User’s guide
• INF and ICM installation files
on CD-ROM or diskette
IMPORTANT: The supplied INF file assures compatibility with Windows operating
systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen colors.
ViewSonic® recommends that you install both files.
• For CD-ROM: Insert the CD-ROM into your system, wait for it to auto-start, select
“Monitor Drivers,” and follow the on-screen instructions.
• For diskette: Insert the diskette into your system, run install.exe, and follow the on-
screen instructions.
• 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.
• Always handle your monitor with
care when moving it.
Precautions
•
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.

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.
Faint horizontal lines
• Caused by steel wires called Damper Wires. This is normal for all monitors that employ
aperture grille technology, the source of superior, rich color.
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.
• 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.
• If you have an older graphics card, contact ViewSonic® for a non-DDC adapter.
Entire screen image scrolls (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.

based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe the
screen.
To clean the case
1 Use a soft, dry cloth.
