USE

AC power Cord

Keep the following guidelines to protect the AC 

power cord from being damaged. If the AV power 

cord is damaged, it may result in a fire or an electric 

shock. Stop using it and ask your dealer or ViewSonic 

service center to exchange it.

◊ Do not place the TV where the power cord is 

subject to wear or abuse.

◊ Do not pinch, bend, or twist the cord excessively. 

The core lines may be bared and cut, causing a 

short-circuit, and resulting in a fire or an electric 

shock.

◊ Do not convert or damage the power cord.

◊ Avoid power cord being rolled over 

or rested upon.

◊ When the power cord plugged in, do not move the 

TV.

◊ Keep the power cord away from heat sources.

◊ When you disconnect the AC power cord, 

disconnect it from the wall outlet first.

◊ When disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug 

instead of pulling the power cord.

◊ Use only an original ViewSonic AC power cord, 

not other brands.

◊ Do not use the supplied AC power cord on any 

other quipment.

Wall outlet

The TV set with a three-wire grounding type

AC power cord plug must be connected 

to an AC power socket outlet with a 

protective grounding connection.

Do not use an unfitting outlet.

Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it

is loose, do not use it. Doing so may cause arcing and 

result in a fire.

Contact your electrician to change the outlet.

Wiring

For your safety, be sure to unplug the AC power cord 

when connecting cables.

damage to the TV set.

Electric shock

Do not touch the AC power cord or the TV 

with a wet hand. If you plug/unplug the 

AC power cord from the TV with a wet 

hand, it may cause electric shock.

Lightning storms

During a lightning storm, unplug the TV from the 

wall outlet and disconnect the antenna to prevent 

damage to the TV.
