Using Power Management

The LCD monitor follows the VESA approved DPM Power Management function.
The power management function is an energy saving function that automatically reduces the power
consumption of the monitor when the keyboard or the mouse has not been used for a fixed period.
The power management feature on your new monitor has been set to the ”ON” mode. This allows your
monitor to enter a Power Saving Mode when no signal is applied. This could potentially increase the life
and decrease the power consumption of the monitor.

images being displayed for a long period of time should be avoided.

• To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed.
For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor
should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

• As with all personal display devices, ViewSonic recommends displaying moving images and using a
moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when
not in use. Please use the Power Save and Schedule functions to further reduce the risk of Image
persistence.

For Long Life Use of Public Display

< Image Sticking of LCD Panel >

When LCD panel is operated continuously for long hours, a trace of electric charge remains near the
electrode inside LCD, and residual or “ghost” image of previous image may be observed. (Image
Persistence)

Image Persistence is not permanent, but when fixed image is displayed for long period, ionic impurities
inside LCD are accumulated along the displayed image, and it is observed permanently. (Image
Sticking)

< Recommendations >

For preventing the fast transition to Image Sticking, and for longer life usage of LCD, following are
recommended.

1. Fixed image should not be displayed for long period, and changed to another images with short
cycle.

2. When not in use, please turn off the monitor.

3. Reducing the environmental temperature is effective for long life use.

the product with a like product. Replacement product or parts may include remanufactured or

ViewSonic LCD Commercial Monitors are warranted for 1 year for all parts including the light
source and 1 year for all labor from the date of the first consumer purchase.

Who the warranty protects:

This warranty is valid only for the first consumer purchaser.

What the warranty does not cover:

1. Any product on which the serial number has been defaced, modified or removed.

2. Damage, deterioration or malfunction resulting from:
a. Accident, misuse, neglect, fire, water, lightning, or other acts of nature, unauthorized

product modification, or failure to follow instructions supplied with the product.

c. Removal or installation of the product.
d. Causes external to the product, such as electrical power fluctuations or failure.
e. Use of supplies or parts not meeting ViewSonic’s specifications.
f. Normal wear and tear.
g. Any other cause which does not relate to a product defect.

3. Any product exhibiting a condition commonly known as "image burn-in" which results
when a static image is displayed on the product for an extended period of time.

4. Removal, installation, one way transportation, insurance, and set-up service charges.

How to get service:

1. For information about receiving service under warranty, contact ViewSonic Customer

Effect of state law:

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary
