What safety precautions should I follow when using the monitor?
Read these instructions completely before using the equipment.
- Keep these instructions in a safe place.
- Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.
- Sit at least 18″ / 45 cm from the monitor.
- When installing the monitor, please leave 4″ / 10 cm of open space around the monitor for ventilation safety purposes.
- Always handle the display with care when moving it.
- Always use cabinets or stands or installation methods recommended by the manufacturer of the monitor set.
- Always use furniture that can safely support the monitor.
- Always ensure the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
- Do not place the monitor where children are likely to be present.
- Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or related equipment.
- Always route and manage cords and cables connected to your monitor so they cannot be tripped over, pulled, or grabbed.
- Exercise caution when removing the rear cover of the monitor. This monitor contains high-voltage parts.
- Do not use this equipment near water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
- Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other devices (including amplifiers) that may increase the temperature of the monitor to dangerous levels.
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If further cleaning is required, see the “Maintenance” section in this guide for further instructions.
- Avoid touching the screen. Skin oils are difficult to remove.
- Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the monitor screen, as it may permanently damage the screen.
- Do not place the monitor in an unstable location.
- Do not place the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the monitor to a suitable support.
- Do not place the monitor on cloth or other materials that may be located between the product and supporting furniture.
- Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
- Do not place heavy objects on the display, video cable, or power cord.
- Do not place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the monitor or furniture on which the product is placed.
- If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately switch the display off and contact your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the display.
- Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions 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 plug does not fit into your outlet, obtain an adaptor and do not attempt to force the plug into the outlet.
- Please confirm the distribution system installed in the building. The system should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
- When connecting to a power outlet, DO NOT remove the grounding prong. Please ensure grounding prongs are NEVER REMOVED.
- Protect the power cord from being treaded upon or pinched, particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from the equipment. Be sure that the power outlet is located near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
- Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the equipment. When a cart is used, use with caution when moving the cart/equipment combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
- Unplug this equipment when it will be unused for long periods of time.
- Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the unit, if the unit is exposed to rain or moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped.
- Excessive sound volume from ear-/headphones may cause hearing damage/hearing loss.
- Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer may increase the ear-/headphones output voltage and therefore, the sound volume level.
- The factors influencing the ear-/headphones output other than those specified by the manufacturer (e.g. operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the ear-/headphone output voltage and therefore, the sound volume level.
- Stability Hazard: The display may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. To prevent injury, this display must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

What are the general precautions for monitor maintenance?
- Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
- Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
- Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.
How should I clean the screen?
- Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
- If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.
How should I clean the case?
- Use a soft, dry cloth.
- If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.
What is the disclaimer regarding cleaning agents?
- ViewSonic® does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the display screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/or case of the monitor.
- ViewSonic® will not be liable for damage resulting from use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
What are some tips for eye health when using the monitor?
- The Blue Light Filter blocks high-energy blue light for a more comfortable viewing experience. Setting the filter value to 100 provides the best performance meeting TUV certification standards.
- Viewing computer screens for extended periods may cause eye irritation. Take periodic breaks (at least 5 minutes after 1-2 hours of viewing). Shorter, more frequent breaks are generally better.
- The monitor supports Flicker-Free technology to reduce screen flicker and potential eye strain.
- During breaks, reduce eye strain by focusing on distant objects.
- Perform eye exercises: Slowly roll your eyes left, right, up, and down. Repeat as needed.
- Perform neck exercises: Relax arms, bend forward slightly to stretch the neck, turn head right and left. Repeat as needed.
