◊ Operate the TV only on 120 – 240 V AC.◊ Use the AC power cord specified by ViewSonic and suitable for the voltage where you use it.◊ The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer.◊ If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet, stop operating, unplug the TV immediately and have it check by qualified service technician.
◊ If you will not be using the TV for a long time, disconnect the power by pulling the plug itself. Do not pull on the cord.◊ For details concerning safety precautions, refer to “Important Safety instructions” on page 3.

USE
AC power Cord
Keep  the  following  guidelines  to  protect  the  AC 
power  cord  from  being  damaged.  If  the  AV  power 
cord  is  damaged,  it  may  result  in  a  fire  or  an  electric 
shock. Stop using it and ask your dealer or ViewSonic 
service center to exchange it.
◊ Do not place the TV where the power cord is 
subject to wear or abuse.

The core lines may be bared and cut, causing a 
short-circuit, and resulting in a fire or an electric 
shock.

◊ Avoid power cord being rolled over 
or rested upon.
◊ When the power cord plugged in, do not move the

◊ Keep the power cord away from heat sources.
◊ When you disconnect the AC power cord, 
disconnect it from the wall outlet first.
◊ When disconnecting the power cord, grasp the plug 
instead of pulling the power cord.
◊ Use only an original ViewSonic AC power cord, 
not other brands.
◊ Do not use the supplied AC power cord on any 
other quipment.
Wall outlet

IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be  sure  the  antenna  system  is  grounded  so  that  it  can 
provide  some  protection  against  voltage  surges  and 
built-up static charges.

BATTERIES
◊ Do not cast away batteries in a fire.
◊ Do not disassembled, overheat, or short-circuit the 
batteries.
◊ If battery replaced in the wrong way, it may cause 
danger of explosion. Replace only with the same or 
equivalent type.
Dispose used batteries
To  preserve  our  environment,  dispose  of  used 
batteries according to your local laws or regulations.
CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and clean it 
regularly. If the plug is covered with dust 
and gathers moisture, its insulation may 
deteriorate and result in a fire.
Cleaning the screen surface/ 
cabinet of the TV set
When cleaning this TV, unplug the AC 
power cord. If not, it may result in 
electric shock. Use a dry soft cloth 
to  clean  the  cabinet  of  the  TV.  To  remove  dust  form 
the  screen,  wipe  it  gently  with  a  soft  cloth.  Stubborn 
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened 
with  a  solution  of  mild  soap  and  warm  water.  Never 
use  strong  solvents  such  as  thinner  or  benzine  for 
cleaning.  If  using  a  chemically  pretreated  cloth, 
please follow the instruction provided on the package. 
The  ventilation  holes  can  accumulate  dust  over  time. 
To  ensure  proper  ventilation,  we  recommend  you  to 
remove  the  dust  periodically  (once  a  month)  using  a 
vacuum cleaner, while the LCD TV is powered off.

MAGNETIC INFLUENCE
This  TV  contains  a  strong  magnet  in  the  speaker 
unit  that  generates  a  magnetic  field.  Keep  any  items 
susceptible to magnetic fields away from the speaker.
SOUND
If you hear snapping or popping sound 
comes from the TV continuously or 
frequently while the TV is operating, 
unplug the TV and consult your 
dealer  or  service  technician.  It  is  normal  for  some 
TVs to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, 
particularly when being turned on or off.

other similar surface.
◊ Never place the TV in a confined space, 
such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, 
unless proper ventilation is provided.
