voltage parts. You may suffer serious
injury if you touch these parts.
• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct
sunlight or another heat source,
including an open flame. The monitor
should be facing away from direct
sunlight to reduce glare.
• Always handle your monitor with care
when moving it.
• Place your monitor in a well ventilated
area. 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.

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue
using the monitor.

VESA 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz.
To set the Resolution:
1
Right-click on the Windows desktop.
2
Click Properties on the drop-down menu.
3
Click the Settings tab.
4
Move the slider pointer which displays in the Desktop area or Screen area in
the window.
NOTE: The refresh rate should already be set if you have done the CD
installation (or refer to your graphics card documentation).
