Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic®color monitor. Important!

Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.

NOTE: The word “Windows” in this user guide refers to the following Microsoft

operating systems: Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98, Windows 2000,

Windows Me (Millennium), and Windows XP.

Package Contents

Yo u r package includes:

• Color monitor

• DB-15 video cable

• Power cord

• ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM

NOTE: The CD jacket contains the Quick Start Guide, and the CD includes the

User Guide PDF files and INF/ICM display optimization files. The INF file

ensures compatibility with Windows operating systems, and the ICM file (Image

Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen colors. ViewSonic recommends that

you install both files.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18" from the monitor.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN

WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the

skin are difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR

COVER. The monitor contains high

voltage parts. You may suffer serious

injury if you touch these parts.

• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct

sunlight or another heat source,

including an open flame. The monitor

should be facing away from direct

sunlight to reduce glare.

• Always handle your monitor with care

when moving it.

• Place your monitor in a well ventilated

area. Do not place anything on the

monitor that prevents adequate

dissipation of heat.

• Ensure the area around the monitor is

clean and free of moisture.

• Keep the monitor away from magnets,

motors, transformers, speakers, and

televisions.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

monitor, video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange

odor is present, immediately switch the

monitor off and call your dealer or

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue

using the monitor.

Using the Monitor

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the

screen image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the

resolution (example 1600 x 1200) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;

example 75 Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView®controls

to adjust the screen image.

For the best picture quality set your monitor timing mode to:

VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz or 85 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows desktop > Properties >

Settings > set the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

WARNING: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate; doing so may result in permanent damage to your CRT

display.
