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.
