USE
AC power Cord
Keep the following guidelines to protect the AC power 
cord from being damaged. If the AC 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 display 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 is plugged in, do 
not move the display.
•  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 equipment.
•  The plug of power cord is intended to serve as 
disconnection device And the socket-outlet shall be 
installed close to the shredder for easy Access.
Wall 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.

power cord when connecting cables.
Take care not to trip on the cables. It may cause damage 
to the display set.
Electric shock

display with a wet hand. If you plug/unplug 
the AC power cord from the display with a 
wet hand, it may cause electric shock.
Lightning storms
During a lightning storm, unplug the display from the wall 
outlet and disconnect the antenna to prevent damage to 
the display.
When not in use
If you will not be using the display set for long periods of 
time, the display set should be disconnected from the AC 
power outlet to prevent power line surges. The display set 
is not disconnected from the AC power source when the 
display set is switched off.
To disconnect the display set completel y, unplug from the 
AC power outlet.
Overloading
This display set is designed to operate on a 
120V AC supply only.
If there are too many appliances connected 
to the same AC power outlet, it could result in 
a fire or an electric shock.
Important Safety Instructions  
						

							vi
Optional equipment
If optional equipment is to be installed, leave some space 
between optional equipment and the display set. Picture 
distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the display set 
is positioned in close proximity to any equipment emitting 
electromagnetic radiation.
Small accessories
Keep small accessories in a safe place where children are 
unable to reach.
Magnetic influence
This display contains a strong magnet in the speaker 
unit that generates a magnetic field. Keep any items 
susceptible to magnetic fields away from the speaker.
Sound
If you hear snapping or popping sound 
comes from the display continuously or 
frequently while the display is operating, 
unplug the display and consult your dealer 
or service technician. It is normal for some 
displays to make occasional snapping or 
popping sounds, particularly when being 
turned on or off.
Use in outdoor
This display is not designed for outdoors 
installation. Do not expose the display to 
rain, as it may result in a fire or an electric 
shock. Also, do not expose the display 
to direct sunlight, as it may heat up and 
become damaged.
Vehicle, ships and other vessels
Do not install this display in a vehicle.
Car accidents may cause the display to fall 
down and cause injury.
Do not install this display in a ship or vessel.
If the display is exposed to seawater, it may 
cause a fire or damage the display.
Medical institutions
Do not place this display in a place where medical 
equipment is in use. It may cause the medical equipment 
to malfunction.
Volume adjustment
• Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your neighbors. 
Sound carries easily at night. Therefore, we suggest 
you close the windows or use headphones.
•  When using headphones, adjust the volume to 
appropriate levels, or hearing damage may result.
ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions 
below. Do not install the outdoor antenna system near 
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power 
circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power 
lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, 
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM 
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS 
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so that it can 
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the 
U.S.A. and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code 
in Canada provides information with in regard to proper 
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding 
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of 
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, 
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for 
the grounding electrode.

CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and clean it 
regularly. If the plug is covered with dust 
and gathers moisture, its insulation may 
deteriorate and result in a fire.
Cleaning the screen surface/ cabinet of the display set
When cleaning this display, unplug the AC 
power cord. If not, it may result in electric 
shock. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the 
cabinet of the display. To remove dust 
near the screen, wipe it gently with a soft 
cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth slightly 
dampened with a solution of mild soap and warm water. 
Never use strong solvents such as thinner or benzine for 
cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please 
follow the instruction provided on the package. The 
ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time.
