Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a Optiquest®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

Your package includes:

• Color monitor

• DB-15 video cable

• Power cord

• Wizard CD-ROM

NOTE: 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. Optiquest recommends that you install both files.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18” from the monitor.

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.
