• ViewSonic M50 monitor
• Attached video cable with 15 pin high density mini D-sub connector

• User’s Guide
• INF and ICM installation files on CD-ROM or diskette
Getting Started
• 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.
• Always handle your monitor with
care when moving it.
Precautions
•
Choose a well ventilated area to
position your monitor. 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.
Getting Started
IMPORTANT: The supplied INF file assures compatibility with Windows operating
systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen colors.
ViewSonic
®

“Monitor Drivers,” and follow the on-screen instructions.
• For diskette: Insert the diskette into your system, run install.exe, and follow the on-
screen instructions.
