Section 6: Basic Operation
1. Insert one end of the DP cable (included) into your PC’s graphics card. An HDMI
cable (not included) or, in some cases, a USB Type-C cable can also be used.
Monitor resolution can be limited based on the input/cable used (i.e., DP vs
HDMI).
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding port on your monitor.

3. Connect the power cable to your monitor, then connect the other end to your
power source. It is recommended that you use a surge protector with adequate
voltage if a wall outlet cannot be reached directly.
4. Locate the power button on the monitor and press and hold it for ~6s to turn the
monitor on.
If you cannot locate the power button, please refer to
Section 3.1
.
Adaptive Sync
Adaptive sync eliminates image tearing, stuttering and ghosting by adjusting of a
monitor’s vertical refresh rate to the frame rate of the graphics card. It is compatible
with GPUs that use AMD® FreeSync™ or NVIDIA® G-Sync™. The feature is off
on VIOTEK monitors by default and must be manually enabled in the monitor’s
OSD (see
Section 8: OSD
). To use this feature, the connecting device must be
compatible with adaptive sync (FreeSync and/or G-Sync); have the latest graphic
drivers; and be connected to the monitor using a DisplayPort (DP) cable.
Section 7: Indicator Light
Solid blue light indicates power is on and the monitor
is operating normally. Flashing blue light indicates
no video source, no horizontal/vertical signal has
been detected or voltage is low. Please ensure
your computer is on and all video cables are fully
connected.
