Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18"from the monitor.

• 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

motors, transformers and televisions.

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.

Quick Installation

1 Connect video cable(s)

Make sure both the monitor and computer

are powered OFF.

The monitor can be connected to one or two

computers using either the DB-15 video

cable (included) or a BNC video cable

(purchased separately). To toggle between

two computers: connect the DB-15 video

cable from the monitor to the first computer,

and the BNC video cables from the monitor

to the second computer.

Macintosh users: Models older than G3

require a ViewSonic Macintosh adapter.

Attach the adapter to the computer and plug

the video cable into the adapter.

To order a ViewSonic®Macintosh adapter,

contact ViewSonic. See Customer Support

in this user guide.

2 Connect power cord

Connect the power cord from the monitor to

a properly grounded AC outlet.

3 Power-ON monitor and computer

receive a message asking them to install the

P220f INF file.

into your computer’s CD-ROM drive.

CD-ROM drive, see the Customer Support

Windows Explorer, then double-click on

viewsonic.exe

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 mode for this monitor is:

VESA 1600 x 1200 @ 85 Hz.

To set the Timing Mode:

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

Settings > Desktop Area (Screen Area for Windows 95 and newer) > 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.

WA R N I N G : Do NOT set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

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

monitor.
