1. Precautions And Safety Notices
1.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This monitor is manufactured and tested on a ground principle that a user’s safety comes
first. However, improper use or installation may cause damage to the monitor as well as
the user. Carefully go over the following WARNINGS before installing and keep this guide
handy.
WARNINGS
.This monitor should be operated only at the correct power sources indicated on the label
on the rear end of the monitor. If you’re unsure of the power supply in your residence,
consult you local dealer or power company.
.Use only the special power adapter that comes with this monitor for power input.
.Do not try to repair the monitor your self as it contains no user-serviceable parts. This
monitor should only be repaired by a qualified technician.
.Do not remove the monitor cabinet. There is high-voltage parts inside that may cause
electric shock to human bodies, even when the power cord is unplugged.
.Stop using the monitor if the cabinet is damaged. Have it checked by a service technician.
.Put your monitor only in a clean, dry environment. If it gets wet, unplug the power cable
immediately and consult your service technician.
.Always unplug the monitor before cleaning it .Clean the cabinet with a clean, dry cloth.
Apply non-ammonia based cleaner onto the cloth, not directly onto the glass screen.
.Keep the monitor away from magnetic objects, motors, TV sets, and transformer.
.Do not place heavy objects on the monitor or power cord.
1.2 PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in this chassis have special safety visual inspections
and the protection afforded by them cannot necessarily be obtained by using replacement
components rated for higher voltages, wattage, etc. Before replacing any of these
components read the parts list in this manual carefully. The use of substitute replacement
parts which do not have the same safety characteristics as specified in the parts list may
create shock, fire ,or other hazards.
1.3 SERVICE NOTES
1. When replacing parts or circuit boards, clamp the lead wires around terminals before
soldering.
2. When replacing a high wattage resistor(more than 1W of metal oxide film resistor) in
circuit board, keep the resistor about 5mm away from circuit board.
3. Keep wires away from high voltage, high temperature components and sharp edges.
4. Keep wires in their original position so as to reduce interference.
5. Usage of this product please refer to also user’s manual.

1.4 HANDING AND PLACING METHODS
Correct Methods: Incorrect Methods:
Only touch the metal frame of the LCD
panel or the front cover of the monitor. Do
not touch the surface of the polarizer.
Surface of the LCD panel is pressed by fingers
and that may cause “Mura.”
Take out the monitor with cushions
ViewSonic Corporation
Taking out the monitor by grasping the LCD
panel. That may cause “Mura.”
- 5 –
Place the monitor on a clean and soft foam
pad.
Placing the monitor on foreign objects. That
could scratch the surface of the panel or cause
“Mura.”
Place the monitor on the lap, the panel
surface must be upwards.
The panel is placed facedown on the lap. That
may cause “Mura.”

The following tips may help you optimize your display:
• Adjust the computer's graphics card so that it outputs a 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz video
signal to the LCD display. (Look for instructions on “changing the refresh rate” in the
graphics card's user guide.)
• If necessary, make small adjustments using H. POSITION and V. POSITION until the
screen image is completely visible
