Calculating Breaks
When viewing screens for extended periods, it is recommended to take periodic breaks from viewing. Short breaks of at least 10 minutes are recommended after one (1) hour of continuous viewing.

Taking shorter, more frequent breaks are generally more beneficial than longer, less frequent breaks.

Focus Fatigue (20-20-20 Rule)
To reduce the risk of eye fatigue by constantly looking at the screen, look away from the screen at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet away) for at least 20 seconds.

Looking at Distant Objects
While taking breaks, users can further reduce eye strain and dryness by focusing on objects that are further away from them for 10-15 seconds, then gaze at something up close for 10-15 seconds. Repeat this up to 10 times. This exercise reduces the risk of your eyes’ focusing ability to “lock up” after prolonged computer work.

Eye and Neck Exercises
Eye Exercises
Eye exercises can help minimize eye strain. Slowly roll your eyes to the left, right, up, and down. Repeat as many times as needed.

Eye Exercises

Neck Exercises
Neck exercises can also help minimize eye strain. Relax your arms and let them hang at your sides, bend forward slightly to stretch the neck, turn your head to the right and to the left. Repeat as many times as needed.

Adjust Settings (VGA only)

VGA Settings
  1. Press ▼ on the remote control and select the Adjust menu.
  2. Press ▼/▲/◄/► on the remote control or directly touch the option to select it.
  3. Adjust your preference by touching each value directly, or with the remote control by pressing ENTER.
  4. Press BACK on the remote control, or touch a blank area outside of the menu to exit.

RS-232

This document describes the hardware interface spec and software protocols of RS-232 interface communication between ViewSonic LFD and PC or other control units with RS-232 protocol.

The protocol contains three command sections:

  • Set-Function
  • Get-Function
  • Remote control pass-through mode
NOTE: Below, “PC” represents all the control units that can send or receive the RS-232 protocol command.

Description

RS-232 Hardware Specification

ViewSonic LFD communication port on the rear side:

  1. Connector type: DSUB 9-Pin Male (or 3.5 mm barrel connector)
  2. Use of crossover (null modem) cable for connection
  3. Pin Assignment:

Command Message Reference
PC sends to LFD command packet followed by “CR”. Every time PC sends control command to Display, the Display shall respond as follows:

  1. If the message is received correctly it will send “+” (02Bh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)
  2. If the message is received incorrectly it will send “-” (02Dh) followed by “CR” (00Dh)

Protocol

Set-Function Listing

The PC can control the Display for specific actions. The Set-Function command allows you to control the Display behavior at a remote site through the RS-232 port. The Set-Function packet format consists of 9 bytes.

Set-Function Description:

Length Total Byte of Message excluding “CR”
LFD ID Identification for each of Display (01~98; default is 01)
ID “99” means to apply the set command for all connected displays. Under such circumstances, only ID#1 display has to reply.
The LFD ID can be set via the OSD menu for each Display.
Command Type Identify command type,
"s" (0x73h): Set Command
"+" (0x2Bh): Valid Command Reply
"-" (0x2Dh): Invalid Command Reply
Command Function command code: One byte ASCII code.
Value [1~3] Three bytes ASCII that defines the value.
CR 0x0D

Set-Function Format Send: (Command Type="s")

Name Length ID Command Type Command Value1 Value2 Value3 CR
Byte Count 1 Byte 2 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte

Reply: (Command Type="+" or "-")

Name Length ID Command Type CR
Byte Count 1 Byte 2 Byte 1 Byte 1 Byte
Bytes Order 1 2~3 4 5
NOTE: When PC applies command to all displays (ID=99), only the #1 set needs to reply by the name of ID=1.


Example 1: Set Brightness as 76 for Display (#02) and this; command is valid.

Remote Control Pass-Through Mode

When the PC sets the Display to Remote Control Pass through mode, the Display shall send a 7-byte packet (followed by “CR”) in response to remote control unit (RCU) button activation. In this mode the remote control shall have no effect on the Display function. For example: “Volume+” will not change the volume of the Display, but instead only sends the “Volume+” code to the PC over the RS-232 port.

Read these instructions carefully, keep them in a safe place, and follow all warnings and instructions.

General Safety Precautions

  • Keep the remote control or loose batteries away from children and pets.

Installation

  • Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation guidelines to ensure safe and optimal operation.
  • Do not place any heavy objects on the display or cables.
  • Do not place the display in an unstable location. The display may fall, resulting in injury or damage.
  • Do not use the display near open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
  • Do not use the display near water or in humid conditions and avoid exposing it to rain or moisture.
  • Do not expose the display to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
  • Always route and manage cables connected to the display to prevent tripping, pulling, or grabbing.
  • Place the display in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
  • a diagram with an X next to an incorrectly installed display, one that is closed off and has no ventilation. There's a diagram next to it with a check mark, it shows the correct measurements for adequate display ventilation.

Power Cord Safety

  • Do not compress the power cord, particularly at the plug and at the point where it connects to the display.
  • Do not use the display if the power cord or plug is damaged.
  • The power cord is designed with a grounding prong to ensure safe operation. Do not remove or damage the grounding prong.
  • Only use the original power cord and do not use damaged or modified cords.
  • Unplug the display when it will be unused for long periods of time.

Handling

  • When moving the display, handle it with care to avoid damage or injury.
  • Only use attachments and accessories specifically designed and approved by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and safety.
  • To ensure the long-term performance and reliability of your display, please follow these handling, mounting, and storage recommendations. Placing the display in a horizontal position can potentially lead to several issues:
    • Structural Stress: Horizontal placement can put excessive stress on the display’s frame, potentially causing cracks or distortions along the edges.
    • Uneven Weight Distribution: This can warp the screen or cause internal damage over time.
    • Heat Dissipation: The design of this display relies on gravity to aid in heat dissipation. Placing it horizontally may restrict airflow and lead to overheating, potentially causing damage.
    • LCD Cell Integrity: Modifying the display’s orientation or attempting to disassemble it can damage the sensitive LCD cells, permanently affecting image quality.
  • For best results, always mount, handle, transport, and store the display in a vertical position. Failure to do so may void the warranty and reduce the display’s lifespan. Damage resulting from improper handling or modification is not covered under warranty.

Troubleshooting

  • If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the display off and contact your reseller or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the display.
  • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
  • Do not disassemble the display. It contains electrical components that can cause shock.
