Getting Started
Before Using the ViewPanel
®
Precautions
• Read Precautions on this page and Power Cord Safety Guidelines in the
Appendix.
• Read Setting the Timing Mode on page 6 before you adjust the
ViewPanel. This will prevent you from making adjustments unnecessarily.
• For best viewing conditions sit at least
18" from the ViewPanel.
• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN
WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from
the skin are difficult to remove.
• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR
COVER. The ViewPanel contains
high-voltage parts. You may suffer
serious injury if you touch these
parts.
• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to
direct sunlight or another heat source.
The ViewPanel should be facing away
from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
• Always handle your ViewPanel with
care when moving it.
• Place your ViewPanel in a well
ventilated area. Do not place anything
on the ViewPanel that prevents
adequate dissipation of heat.
• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel
is clean and free of moisture.
• Do not place heavy objects on the
ViewPanel, video cable, or power
cord.
• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange
odor is present, immediately switch
the ViewPanel off and call your dealer
or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to
continue using the ViewPanel.
