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.
Users can customize the Blue Light Filter value through the Game Modes Menu.
The monitor also supports Flicker-Free, which reduces or eliminates screen flicker, thus easing potential eye strain.
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.
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.
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.

Read these instructions carefully, keep them in a safe place, and follow all warnings and instructions. If the monitor is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as below should be applied.
General Safety Precautions
Adjustment of the monitor’s volume may increase the headphone’s output voltage and, therefore, the sound volume level.
The factors influencing the headphones output other than those specified by the manufacturer (e.g., operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the headphone’s output voltage and, therefore, the sound volume level.
Excessive sound volume from headphones may cause hearing damage or loss.
Avoid touching or pressing on the screen as it may cause permanent damage or transfer skin oils.
Keep the monitor out of the reach of children and pets.
Power Cord Safety
Do not compress the power cord, particularly at the plug and at the point where it connects to the monitor.
Do not use the monitor 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.
Handling
Only use attachments and accessories specifically designed and approved by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and safety.
Only use with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the monitor.
When a cart is used, use it with caution when moving the cart and monitor to avoid injury from overturning.
When moving the monitor, handle it with care to avoid damage or injury.
Clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning guidelines, see the “Maintenance” section in this guide.
Usage
Sit at least 45 cm (18 in.) from the monitor.
Do not place the monitor where children are likely to be present.
Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or related equipment.
Installation
Confirm the power distribution system of the installation location. The system should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
Leave at least 10 cm (4 in.) of open space around the monitor to ensure proper ventilation.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation guidelines to ensure safe and optimal operation.
Do not place the monitor in an unstable location, on tall furniture, or overhang the edge of supporting furniture.
Do not place the monitor on cloth or other materials that may be located between the product and supporting furniture.
Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on the monitor, video cable, or power cord.
Keep the area around the monitor free from items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the monitor or furniture on which the product is placed.
Do not use the monitor near open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
Do not use the monitor near water or in humid conditions and avoid exposing it to rain or moisture.
Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
Always route and manage cables connected to your monitor to prevent tripping, pulling, or grabbing.
Stability Hazard
To prevent the monitor from falling, potentially causing personal injury or death, secure the monitor to a wall or fixed object using cordage or other restraining devices.
The restraining device or cordage should be able to withstand a force of 100N and be tight without any slack.
The back of the monitor should face the wall to ensure the monitor cannot tilt under external force.
Make sure the monitor does not tilt under external force at any height or rotation angle.
Troubleshooting
If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the monitor off and contact your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the monitor.
Unplug the monitor when it will be unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when the monitor has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power cord or plug is damaged, if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the monitor, if the monitor is exposed to rain or moisture, or if the monitor does not operate normally or has been dropped.
Blue Light Filter and Eye Health
The monitor’s blue-light blocking technology helps reduce eye strain by minimizing blue-light emission, while maintaining the correct color balance, and eliminating screen flicks.
Below are some tips to help reduce the effect of eye strain:
Take a five-minute break every one to two hours.
Look away from the screen and gaze at distant objects when taking breaks.
Do eye and neck exercises.
Eye exercises: Gently move your eyes to the left, right, up, and down.
Neck exercises: Gently stretch your neck by leaning forward, turning your head side to side.

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.
