    Using the Security Slot

    To help prevent the monitor from being stolen, use a security slot locking device to secure the monitor to a fixed object.

    Additionally, fastening the monitor to a wall or fixed object using a security cable can help support the weight of the monitor in order to prevent the monitor from falling over.

    Below is an example of setting up a security slot locking device on a table.

    Using the Security Slot


    Connecting to Power

    Connecting to Power
    1. Connect the power cord to the AC IN jack at the rear of the device.
    2. Plug the power cord plug into a power outlet.

    Connecting to Video

    HDMI

    Connecting to HDMI
    1. Connect one end of an HDMI cable to an HDMI port of the monitor.
    2. Plug the other end of the cable into the HDMI port of your computer.

    DisplayPort

    Connecting to DisplayPort
    1. Connect one end of a DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort port of the monitor.
    2. Plug the other end of the cable into the DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort port of your computer.
    3. Note: To connect the monitor to the Thunderbolt port (v. 1 & 2) on your Mac, connect the Mini DisplayPort end of a “Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cable” to the Thunderbolt output port of your Mac. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort port of the monitor.

    Type C

    Connecting to Type C
    1. Connect one end of a USB Type C cable to the USB Type C port of the monitor.
    2. Plug the other end of the cable into the full-featured USB port of your computer.
    3. NOTE:
      • For video output use, make sure your USB Type C output device (e.g., laptop) and cable are full-featured and support video signal transmission.
      • When you use Type C as the video signal input source, it is recommended to unplug the DisplayPort and HDMI signals to avoid audio output confusion.

    DisplayPort/USB Type-C MST Daisy Chain Connection

    With DisplayPort/USB Type-C Multi-Stream Transport (MST) support, you can daisy chain up to four monitors.

    1. Connect one end of a DisplayPort/USB Type-C cable to the DisplayPort/USB Type-C Out port of your computer. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort In/USB Type-C port of the monitor.
    2. Use another DisplayPort cable to connect to the DisplayPort Out port of the first monitor. Then connect the other end of the cable to the DisplayPort In port of the second monitor.
    3. Repeat Step 2 as needed with up to four monitors.
    4. Note: Your graphics card compatibility and monitor resolution will determine the number of monitors.

      Daisy Chain Connection

      NOTE:
      • DisplayPort 1.2 MST must be turned on in the Setup Menu in the OSD Menu to enable daisy chaining.
      • If High Data Speed is selected, it will prioritize high speed data transfer and Ethernet. MST will only support 2560 x 1440 @30Hz (maximum).
      • If High Resolution is selected, MST can support 2560 x 1440 @60Hz, but data transfer and Ethernet speed will be limited to USB 2.0 standards due to bandwidth limitation.
      • If the input source changes to HDMI, DisplayPort 1.2 MST will turn off automatically.

    USB Connection

    The monitor supports two types of USB ports, upstream and downstream. When making connection(s), observe the following guidelines.

    Connecting to USB
    USB Type Connection Type Description
    Number1.svg Upstream Type C Full-featured port: transfers data, audio, video, and power.

    Blue Light Filter and Eye Health

    The Blue Light Filter blocks high-energy blue light for a more comfortable viewing experience.
    While using and enjoying your monitor please keep the following in mind:

    • Viewing computer screens for extended periods of time may cause eye irritation and discomfort. To reduce these effects, it is recommended to take periodic breaks from viewing to allow the eyes to relax.
    • The monitor also supports Flicker-Free, which reduces or eliminates screen flicker, thus easing potential eye strain.
    • Setting the filter value to 100 will provide the best performance of the blue light filter, which meets TUV certification standards.

    Calculating Breaks

    When viewing the monitor for extended periods, it is recommended to take periodic breaks from viewing. Short breaks of at least five (5) minutes are recommended after one (1) to two (2) hours 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.

    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.

    • Always route and manage cords and cables connected to your device so they cannot be tripped over, pulled, or grabbed.
    • Protect the power cord from being treaded upon or pinched, particularly at the plug, and at the point where it emerges from the equipment. Ensure that the power outlet is located near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
    • Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet if the device is not being used for a long period of time.
    • Please confirm the distribution system installed in the building. The system should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
    • Only use attachments/accessories, such as carts, stands, tripods, brackets or tables, specified by the manufacturer.
    • When a cart is used, use with caution when moving the cart/equipment combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
    • Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as:
    • if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
    • if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the unit.
    • if the unit is exposed to rain or moisture.
    • if the unit does not operate normally or has been dropped.
    • When using ear-/headphones, adjust the volume to appropriate levels, or hearing damage may result.
    • Stability Hazard: The display may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. To prevent injury, this display must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
    • Fastening the display to a wall or fixed object using cordage or other restraining devices can help support the weight of the display in order to prevent the display from falling over.
    Monitor Safety Restrain.png

    NOTE:

    • Restraining device/cordage should be able to withstand 100N force.
    • Make sure the cordage is straightened, and any slack is removed. The back of the device shall face the wall to ensure the device cannot tilt under external force.
    • Make sure the display does not tilt under external force at any height and rotation angle of the device.
    • If the existing display is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

    Maintaining the Monitor

    General Precautions

    • Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the power outlet.
    • Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or case.
    • Handle the monitor with care, as a darker-colored monitor, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored monitor.

    Cleaning the Screen

    • Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.
    • If the screen is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth; then wipe the screen.

    Cleaning the Case

    • Use a soft, dry cloth.
    • If the case is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.

    Disclaimer

    • ViewSonic® does not recommend the use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners on the display screen or case. Some chemical cleaners have been reported to damage the screen and/or case of the monitor.
    • ViewSonic® will not be liable for damage resulting from use of any ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
