Objects and ventilation holes
Never  push  any  objects  into  the  slots  on  the  TV 
cabinet as they may touch dangerous voltage points or 
short out parts that could result in a fire or an electric 
shock. Do not place any objects on the TV.
MOISTURE
Moisture and flammable objects
◊ Keep the product away from moisture. Do not 
expose this appliance to rain or moisture. Do not 
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on 
the TV.
◊ Do not use power-line operated V sets near water, 
such as in places like a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen 
sink, laundry tub, a wet basement, or near a 
swimming pool, etc. It may cause fire or electric 
shock.
◊ Do not let this TV get wet. Never spill 
liquid of any kind on the TV. If water

Donot operate the TV. It may result in 
electric shock or damage to the TV. 
◊ To prevent fire, keep flammable objects 
or open flame (e.g. candles) away from 
the TV.
INSTALLATION
To  do  Wall  mount  installation,  you  need  a  Wall-
Mount  Bracket.  When  installing  or  removing  the 
TV  using  the  Wall-Mount  Bracket,  be  sure  to  use 
qualified  contractors.  If  not  properly  secured  during 
installation or removal from the Wall-Mount Bracket, 
the TV may fall and cause serious injury.
Optional wall mount
◊ When installing the TV using a Wall-Mount Bracket, 
make sure you follow the operating instructions 
supplied with the Wall-Mount Bracket.
◊ Attach the brackets supplied with the Wall-Mount 
Bracket.
◊ The TV is not designed for hanging from the 
ceiling. It may fall and cause serious injury.
Placement
The  TV  should  be  installed  near  an  easily  accessible 
AC power outlet.
Observe the following to prevent the TV from falling 
from the stand or wall mount.
◊ Place the TV on a stable, level surface.
◊ Do not hang anything on the TV. Do 
not allow children to climb on the TV.
Do  not  install  the  TV  in  places  subject  to  extreme 
temperature,  such  as  in  direct  sunlight,  near  a 
radiator,  or  heating  vent.  If  the  TV  is  exposed  to 
extreme temperature, the TV may overheat and cause 
deformation  of  the  enclosure  or  cause  malfunction. 
Do  not  install  the  TV  in  a  place  exposed  to  direct  air 
conditioning. If the TV is installed in such a location, 
m o i s t u r e   m a y   c o n d e n s e   i n s i d e   a n d   m a y   c a u s e   a

mechanical vibration.
◊ Do not install the TV in a location where it may 
spear up, such as on or behind a pillar, or where you 
might bump your head on it. It may cause injury.
Preventing the TV from toppling over
To prevent the TV from toppling over, secure the TV 
to a wall or stand.
Placement for watching
We  suggest  you  to  watch  the  TV  at  a  distance  of  3-7 
times  that  of  the  screen  height,  and  not  in  excessive 
brightness. It is easy to cause eye fatigue if you watch 
TV  for  too  long  or  in  a  dark  room.  To  obtain  clear 
picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination 
or  sunlight.  Use  spot  lighting  directed  down  from  the 
ceiling if you can.
Use in outdoor
This TV is not designed for outdoors 
installation. Do not expose the TV to 
rain, as it may result in a fire or an 
electric shock. Also, do not expose 
the TV to direct sunlight, as it may 
heat up and become damaged. 
Vehicle, ships and other vessels
Do not install this TV in a vehicle.
Car accidents may cause the TV to fall 
down and cause injury.
Do not install this TV in a ship or vessel. 
If the TV is exposed to seawater, it may 
cause a fire or damage the TV.

ViewSonic                                                                                                         VT2430
VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
◊ Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your 
neighbors. Sound carries easily at night. Therefore, 
we suggest you close the windows or use 
headphones.
◊ When using headphones, adjust the volume to 
appropriate levels, or hearing damage may result.
LCD SCREEN
◊ Although the LCD screen is made with high-
precision technology and has effective pixels of 
99.99% or more, black dots or bright points or light 
(red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the 
LCD screen. This is a structural property of the 
LCD panel and is not a malfunction.
◊ The LCD screen is made with high-precision 
technology. To achieve a high level of performance 
and picture quality, this TV’s backlight setting is 
set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, 
uneven brightness may be observed when the 
LCD TV is viewed in a dark environment without 
an input source or a blank screen. This is a normal 
condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To improve 
this condition, change the Picture mode, Backlight 
setting, enable the Light Sensor, or turn on the 
Power management.
◊ Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to direct 
sunlight. It is likely to damage the LCD panel.
◊ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place 
objects on top of the TV. The image may be uneven 
or the LCD panel may be damaged.
◊ If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may occur 
in the picture or the picture may become dark. This 
does not indicate a failure. These phenomena 
improve as the temperature rises.
◊ When still pictures are displayed continuously, 
ghosting may occur. It should disappear after a short 
period of time.
◊ The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in 
use. This is a normal condition.
◊ Spraying insect repellent with volatile material on 
the screen will cause damage.
◊ Do not make prolonged contact with rubber or 
plastic material.
Broken pieces
Do not throw anything at the TV.
Doing so may break the screen glass and 
cause serious injury.
If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug the 
AC power cord before touching the TV. 
Otherwise electric shock may result.
H a n d l i n g   o f   b r o k e n   g l a s s   a n d   l i q u i d 
crystal leakage
If  the  LCD  panel  gets  damaged,  crystalline  liquid 
leakage  may  occur,  or  scattered  broken  glass  may 
result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid 
which  is  toxic,  with  bare  hands  as  cuts,  poisoning  or 
skin irritation may occur. Also do not glass fragments 
or  leaked  crystalline  liquid  get  into  your  eyes  or 
mouth.  Should  either  contacted  your  eyes  or  mouth, 
rinse  the  contacted  area  thoroughly  with  water  and 
consult your doctor. 
SERVICING
Do not attempt to repair the TV 
yourself, since opening the cabinet 
may expose you to dangerous 
voltage or other hazards. Ask qualified service 
personnel to do the servicing for your TV.
Replacement parts
When  replacement  parts  are  required,  be  sure  the 
service  technician  certifies  in  writing  that  he/she  has 
used  replacement  parts  specified  by  the  manufacturer 
that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized  substitutions  may  cause  a  fire,  an 
electric shock or other hazards.
Safety check
Upon  completion  of  repairs  to  the  TV, 
ask  the  service  technician  to  perform 
routine  safety  checks  (as  specified  by  the 
manufacturer)  to  determine  that  the  TV  is 
safe  for  operating,  and  to  so  certify.  Ask  a 
qualified service technician to dispose of the 
TV.
For Customers in the United States
There is mercury in the lamp of this product. 
Disposal of these materials may be regulated 
due  to  environmental  considerations. 
For  disposal  or  recycling  information, 
please  contact  your  local  authorities  or  the

• Read the Important Safety Instructions, at the start of this manual. 
• Do not install in a moist or wet environment. This equipment is intended for indoor use.
• Do not install near heat source, or strong magnetic fields.
• Use only ViewSonic approved wall-mounting brackets to support the LCD TV weight.
• Before attaching the wall mount plate to the back cover, ensure the product is working.
• If your LCD TV is already set up for free-standing operation, you need to first remove the 
stand before mounting the device to the wall.
To attach the wall-mount bracket to LCD TV safely, please use the following guidelines:
• Disconnect the power and any other cables that might hinder moving the \
LCD TV. 
• Set the LCD TV on a table or work surface, placing the screen face down on a towel or \

• Mount the wall mount bracket to the wall ensuring use of proper screws \
to support the 
installation.  Ensure there is at least 3cm of space surrounding any air\
