Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a ViewSonic G810 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.

NOTE: This product was designed for operation in the magnetic fields of the

hemisphere where it was purchased.

Package Contents

Your G810 package includes:

• G810 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. The

monitor should be facing away from

direct sunlight to reduce glare.

• Do not place your monitor near a source

of water or moisture.

• Place your monitor in a well ventilated

area. Do not place anything on the

monitor that blocks the ventilation slots

or prevents adequate dissipation of heat.

• 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 operate

your monitor under these conditions.

• Keep the monitor away from magnets,

motors, transformers and televisions.

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 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency;

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

to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing modes for this monitor are:

VESA 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz and VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 75 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

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

Settings > Desktop or Screen Area > set the resolution.

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

NOTE: To minimize the adjustments required for an optimal screen image,

select a timing mode from the Preset Timing Modes table below.

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

maximum refresh rate for each resolution (see below). Doing so may result in

permanent damage to your monitor.

Adjusting the Screen Image

control panel to adjust the OnView®controls which display on the screen. The

OnView controls are explained in the four steps at the top of the next page and

monitor on and off repeatedly. To manually degauss the monitor, see the instructions on page 9.
