Precautions
• For best viewing conditions sit at least
18" from the ViewPanel.
I
• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN
WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the
skin are difficult to remove.
• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR
COVER. The ViewPanel contains highvoltage parts. You may suffer serious
injury if you touch these parts.
• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to direct
sunlight or another heat source. The
ViewPanel should be facing away from
direct sunlight to reduce glare.
• Always handle your ViewPanel with care
when moving it.
• Place your ViewPanel in a well ventilated
area. Do not place anything on the
ViewPanel that prevents adequate
dissipation of heat.
• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel is
clean and free of moisture.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
ViewPanel, video cable, or power cord.
• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange
odor is present, immediately switch the
ViewPanel off and call your dealer or
ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue
using the ViewPanel.
