Quick Installation
1 Connect video cable(s)
Make sure both the monitor and computer
are powered OFF.
The monitor can be connected to one or two
computers using either the DB-15 video
cable (included) or a BNC video cable
(purchased separately). To toggle between
two computers: connect the DB-15 video
cable to the monitor and first computer, and
then connect the BNC video cable to the
monitor and the second computer.
Macintosh users:
Models older than G3
require a ViewSonic Macintosh adapter.
Attach the adapter to the computer and plug
the video cable into the adapter.
To order a ViewSonic
®
Macintosh adapter,
contact ViewSonic. See
Customer Support
in this user guide.
2 Connect power cord
Connect the power cord from the monitor to
a properly grounded AC outlet.

Power-ON the monitor, then power-ON the
