USA Telephone Number: 1-800-688­6688 This device complies with part 15
of the FCC rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: 1)
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and 2)
this device must accept any interfer­ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

NOTIFICATION

This device 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 device
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
device and receiver.

• Connect the device 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.

Pursuant to FCC regulations, be
cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved
in this manual could void your
authority to operate this equipment.

Safety

• Operate the TV on 120V and
240 V AC only.

• Use the AC power cord specified by
ViewSonic and suitable for the volt­age where you use it.

• The plug is designed, for safety pur­poses, to fit into the wall outlet only
one way.

• If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, contact your
dealer.

• If any liquid or solid object should
fall inside the cabinet, stop operat­ing, unplug the TV immediately and
have it checked by qualified service
technician.

• If you will not be using the TV for a
long time, disconnect the power by
pulling the plug itself. Do not pull on
the cord.

• For details concerning safety precau­tions, refer to Important Safety
instructions on page 4.

Installation

• The TV should be installed near an
easily accessible power outlet.

• To prevent internal heat buildup, do
not block the ventilation openings.

• Do not install the TV in a hot or
humid place, or in a place subject to
excessive dust or mechanical
vibration.

• Avoid operating the TV at
temperatures below 41ºF (5ºC).

• When the TV is transported directly
from a cold to a warm location, or if
the room temperature changes sud­denly, the picture may be blurred or
show poor color due to moisture
condensation. In this case, please
wait a few hours before turning on
the TV, in order to let the moisture
evaporate first.

• To ensure best picture quality, do not
expose the screen to direct illumina­tion or sunlight. We recommend you
use spot lighting directed down from
the ceiling or to cover the windows
that face the screen with opaque cur­tains. It is better that TV is installed
where the floor and walls are not of a
reflective material.

To Customers

To install the specified TV, sufficient
expertise is required. Make sure you
subcontract the installation to ViewS­onic dealer or licensed contractors and
pay adequate attention to safety during
the installation.

This television includes a QAM
demodulator, which should allow you
to receive unscrambled digital cable
television programming via subscrip­tion service to a cable service provider.

provided by your cable service pro­vider will affect the availability of digi­tal cable television programming in
your area.

qualified contractors. If not properly secured dur­ing installation or removal from the Wall-Mount
Bracket, the TV may fall and cause serious injury.

Optional wall mount.

• When installing the TV using a Wall-Mount Bracket, make
sure you follow the operating instructions supplied with
the Wall-Mount Bracket.

• Attach the brackets supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket.

• The TV is not designed for hanging from the ceiling. It
may fall and cause serious injury.

Placement

The TV should be installed near an easily accessi­ble AC power outlet.
Observe the following to prevent the TV from
falling from the stand or wall mount.

• Place the TV on a stable, level surface.

• Do not hang anything on the TV. Do not
allow children to climb on the TV.

• Do not install the TV in places subject to
extreme temperature, such as in direct sun­light, near a radiator, or heating vent. If the TV is exposed
to extreme temperature, the TV may overheat and cause
deformation of the enclosure or cause malfunction.

• Do not install the TV in a place exposed to direct air condi­tioning. If the TV is installed in such a location, moisture
may condense inside and may cause a malfunction.

• Do not place the TV in hot, oily, humid or
excessively dusty places.

• Do not install the TV where insects may
enter.

• Do not install the TV where it may be
exposed to mechanical vibration.

• Do not install the TV in a location where it may spear up,
such as on or behind a pillar, or where you might bump

Preventing the TV from toppling over

To prevent the TV from toppling over, secure the
TV to a wall or stand.

Placement for watching

We suggest you to watch the TV at a distance of
3-7 times that of the screen height, and not in
excessive brightness. It is easy to cause eye
fatigue if you watch TV for too long or in a dark
room. To obtain clear picture, do not expose the
screen to direct illumination or sunlight. Use spot
lighting directed down from the ceiling if you can.

Use in outdoor

This TV is not designed for out­doors installation. Do not expose
the TV to rain, as it may result in
a fire or an electric shock. Also,
do not expose the TV to direct
sunlight, as it may heat up and become damaged.

Vehicle, ships and other vessels

Do not install this TV in a vehicle.
Car accidents may cause the TV to
fall down and cause injury.
Do not install this TV in a ship or
vessel.
If the TV is exposed to seawater, it
may cause a fire or damage the TV.

Medical institutions

Do not place this TV in a place where medical
equipment is in use. It may cause the medical
equipment to malfunction.

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

• Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your neighbors.
Sound carries easily at night. Therefore, we suggest you
close the windows or use headphones.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume to appropriate
levels, or hearing damage may result.

LCD SCREEN

• Although the LCD screen is made with high precision
technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more,
black dots or bright points or light (red, blue, or green)
may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a struc-

English

tural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology.
To achieve a high level of performance and picture quality,
this TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the bright­ness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be
observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark environ­ment without an input source or a blank screen. This is a
normal condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To improve
this condition, change the Picture mode, Backlight setting,
enable the Light Sensor, or turn on the Power manage­ment.

• Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to direct sunlight.
It is likely to damage the LCD panel.

• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on
top of the TV. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel
may be damaged.

• If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the
picture or the picture may become dark. It is not caused by
a failure. This condition will improve as the temperature
rises.

• When still pictures are displayed continuously, ghosting
may occur. It should disappear after a short period of time.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in use.
This is a normal condition.

• Spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the
screen will cause damage.

• Do not make prolonged contact with rubber or plastic
material.

Broken pieces

Do not throw anything at the TV.
Doing so may break the screen glass
and cause serious injury.
If the surface of the TV cracks,
unplug the AC power cord before touching the
TV. Otherwise electric shock may result.

Handling of broken glass and liquid crys­tal leakage

If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid
leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may
result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline
liquid which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts, poi­soning or skin irritation may occur. Also do not
glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get
into your eyes or mouth. Should either contacted
your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area thor­oughly with water and consult your doctor.

SERVICING

Do not attempt to repair the TV
yourself, since opening the cabinet
may expose you to dangerous volt­age or other hazards. Ask qualified
service personnel to do the servicing for your TV.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician certifies in writing that he/she
has used replacement parts specified by the manu­facturer that have the same characteristics as the
original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may
cause a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check

Upon completion of repairs to the TV, ask the ser­vice technician to perform routine safety checks
(as specified by the manufacturer) to determine
that the TV is safe for operating, and to so certify.
Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of
the TV.

To attach the wall-mount bracket to LCD TV safely, please use the following
guidelines:

• Disconnect the power and any other cables that might hinder moving the LCD TV.

• Set the LCD TV on a table or work surface, placing the screen face down on a towel or
