• Power cords
• User guide
• AC/DC Adapter
• INF and ICM installation files on diskette or CD. (
Note:
Perfect Portrait
software on CD-ROM must be installed to use the ViewPanel in portrait

The supplied INF file assures compatibility with Windows

Precautions
• For best viewing conditions sit at least 18"
from the ViewPanel.
• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN WITH
YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the skin are
difficult to remove.
• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR COVER. The
ViewPanel contains high-voltage 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.
