•Avoid exposing your LCD display to

direct sunlight or another heat source. Orient your LCD display away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.

ventilated area. Do not place anything on your LCD display that prevents heat

dissipation.

•Ensure the area around the LCD display is clean and free of moisture.

•Do not place heavy objects on the LCD display, video cable, or power cord.

•If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the LCD display off and call your dealer or ViewSonic.

It is dangerous to continue using the
