ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the
precautions below. Do not install the outdoor antenna
system in near of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in
contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER
LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM
IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so that it can
provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
the U.S.A. and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada provides information with in regard to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug

Unplug the AC power plug and clean
it regularly. If the plug is covered with
dust and gathers moisture, its insulation
may deteriorate and result in a fi re.

Cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set

When cleaning this TV, unplug the
AC power cord. If not, it may result
in electric shock. Use a dry soft cloth
to clean the cabinet of the TV. To remove dust form
the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened
with a solution of mild soap and warm water. Never
use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for
cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please
follow the instruction provided on the package. The
ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To
ensure proper ventilation, we recommend you to
remove the dust periodically (once a month) using a
vacuum cleaner, while the LCD TV is powered off.

Getting Started

Mounting ViewSonic LCD TV to the wall

The LCD TV can be used in a free standing position or wall-mounted. Before installing the
product to the wall, please consider the following guidelines:

• Read the Important Safety Instructions, at the start of this manual.

• Do not install in a moist or wet environment. This equipment is intended for indoor use.

• Do not install near heat source, or strong magnetic fi elds.

• Use only ViewSonic approved wall-mounting brackets to support the LCD TV weight.

• Before attaching the wall mount plate to the back cover, ensure the product is working.

• If your LCD TV is already set up for free-standing operation, you need to fi rst remove the

stand before mounting the device to the wall.

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

woolen blanket to protect the screen surface from damage while installing plate.

• Before installing the LCD TV on the wall, ensure you have recorded the product serial

number on page (i) of the User Guide, as you will need the serial number to request
service should there be a service need.

• Install the wall mount plate to the LCD TV using screws NO LONGER than 10mm,

as longer screws found in universal (non-ViewSonic) wall mount kits may damage the
power supply causing the unit to fail. The wall-mount screw type is M4 x L10.

• Mount the wall mount bracket to the wall ensuring use of proper screws to support the

installation. Ensure there is at least 3cm of space surrounding any air-vents of your LCD
TV to allow adequate cooling during operation.

• Hang the LCD TV wall mount plate to the wall mount bracket, completing installation.

Enjoy your ViewSonic LCD TV!
