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