- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 display with care, as darker-colored models, if scuffed, may show marks more clearly than a lighter-colored model.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Low Blue Light Filter and Eye Health
The Blue Light Filter blocks high-energy blue light for a more comfortable viewing experience.
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.
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.
Applications
Much like any smart phone or tablet you can install several different applications from the installed Google Play Store.
Applications can be accessed from the Toolbar, directly from the Home Screen via shortcuts, or by selecting the All Apps icon (
).

C. Auto Reply *3.2.2
The display will send out the updated data/status automatically without GET query from the host whenever the following data/status is changed by the user through any of the available ways like: remote control unit, front control panel keys, or touch screen.
Remote Control Pass-through Mode
When the PC sets the Display to Remote Control Pass through mode, the Display will send a 7-byte packet (followed by “CR”) in response to remote control unit (RCU) button activation.
In this mode the RCU will have no effect on the Display function. For example: “Volume+” will not change the volume of the Display, but instead only send the “Volume+” code to the PC over the RS-232 port.
