voltage parts. You may suffer serious

injury if you touch these parts.

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.

motors, transformers, speakers, and

televisions.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

monitor, video cable, or power cord.

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue
