Initial Setup

Installing the Stand

1. Place the box on a flat, stable surface and open the front flap of the box to reveal the contents. Remove the top tray.
2. Remove the monitor stand’s base and neck. Align and connect the two points on the monitor stand’s base with the monitor stand’s neck.
3. Use the captured screw in the monitor stand’s base and secure it to the monitor stand’s neck.
4. Align and slide the upper hooks of the monitor stand into the stand mounting slots.

   Note: Make sure the stand is secure and the quick release tab positively clicks into place.

5. Using the stand’s handle, lift the monitor out of the box and into its upright position on a flat, stable surface.

Note: For safety and to ensure optimal performance, please position the monitor on a flat, stable surface. Failure to do so may lead to the monitor falling, causing damage to the monitor itself and/or posing a risk of personal injury.

Removing the Stand and Mounting the Monitor

Refer to the table below for the standard dimensions for mounting kits.

Note: For use only with a UL certified mounting kit/bracket. To obtain a wall mounting kit or height adjustment base, contact ViewSonic® or your local dealer.
