Important Safety 
Instructions

1. Read these instructions completely before 

using the equipment.

2. Keep these instructions in a safe place.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install 

the equipment in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat 

sources such as radiators, heat 
registers, stoves, or other devices 
(including amplifiers) that pro-
duce heat. 

9. Do not attempt to circumvent the safety pro-

visions of the polarized or grounding-type 
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with 
one wider than the other. A grounding type 
plug has two blades and a third grounding 
prong. The wide blade and the third prong are 
provided for your safety. If the provided plug 
does not fit into your outlet, consult an elec-
trician for replacement of the outlet.

10. Prevent the power cord from being tread upon 

or pinched, particularly at the plug, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they 
exit from the device. Be sure that the power 
outlet is located near the equipment so that it 
is easily accessible.

11. Only use attachments/ accessories specified 

by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tri-

pod, bracket, or table specified by 
the manufacturer, or sold with the 
apparatus. When a cart is used, 
use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from 
tip-over. 

13. Unplug this apparatus when it will be unused 

for a long period of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa-
ratus has been damaged in any way, such as 
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the 
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to 
rain or moisture, or the unit does not operate 
normally, or has been dropped.

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 elec-
tric 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 exces-

sively.

• 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 is plugged in, do not 

move the TV.

• Keep the power cord away from heat sources.
• When you disconnect the AC power cord, dis-

connect 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 equipment.

Wall outlet

The TV set with a three-wire ground-
ing 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.
Take care not to trip on the cables. It may cause
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.
