parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same  
characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions  
may cause a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.  
Safety check  
When using headphones, adjust the volume to appropriate  
levels, or hearing damage may result.  
LCD SCREEN  
• Although the LCD screen is made with high precision  
technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black  
dots or bright points or light (red, blue, or green) may appear  
constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of  
the LCD panel and is not a malfunction.  
Upon completion of repairs to the TV, ask the service  
technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the  
manufacturer) to determine that the TV is safe for operating, and  
to so certify.  
Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV.  
For Customers in the United States  
The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology. To  
achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this  
TV’s backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of  
the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when  
the LED TV is viewed in a dark environment without an input  
source or a blank screen. This is a normal condition, not a  
malfunction of the TV. To improve this condition, change the  
Picture mode, Backlight setting, enable the Light Sensor, or  
turn on the Power management.  
There is mercury in the lamp of this product.  
Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to  
environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling  
information, please contact your local authorities or the  
Electronic Industries Alliance (http//www.eiae.org).  
• Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to direct sunlight. It  
is likely to damage the LCD panel.  
Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on  
top of the TV. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel  
may be damaged.  
If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the  
picture or the picture may become dark. It is not caused by a  
failure. This condition will improve as the temperature rises.  
When still pictures are displayed continuously, ghosting may  
occur. It should disappear after a short period of time.  
The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in use. This  
is a normal condition.  
• Spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the screen  
will cause damage.  
Do not make prolonged contact with rubber or plastic  
material.  
Broken pieces  
Do not throw anything at the TV.  
Doing so may break the screen glass and cause  
serious injury.  
If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug the AC

Mounting ViewSonic LCD TV to the wall  
The LCD TV can be used in a free standing position or wall-mounted. Before installing the product to the  
wall, please consider the following guidelines:  
• Read the Important Safety Instructions, at the start of this manual.  
Do not install in a moist or wet environment. This equipment is intended for indoor use.  
Do not install near heat source, or strong magnetic fields.  
Use only ViewSonic approved wall-mounting brackets to support the LCD TV weight.  
Before attaching the wall mount plate to the back cover, ensure the product is working.  
• If your LCD TV is already set up for free-standing operation, you need to first remove the  
stand before mounting the device to the wall.  
To attach the wall-mount bracket to LCD TV safely, please use the following guidelines:  
Disconnect the power and any other cables that might hinder moving the LCD TV.  
• Set the LCD TV on a table or work surface, placing the screen face down on a towel or  
woolen blanket to protect the screen surface from damage while installing plate.  
Before installing the LCD TV on the wall, ensure you have recorded the product serial  
number on page (i) of the User Guide, as you will need the serial number to request  
service should there be a service need.  
Install the wall mount plate to the LCD TV using screws NO LONGER than 10mm, as  
longer screws found in universal (non-ViewSonic) wall mount kits may damage the  
power supply causing the unit to fail. The wall-mount screw type is M6 x L10.  
Mount the wall mount bracket to the wall ensuring use of proper screws to support the  
installation. Ensure there is at least 3cm of space surrounding any air-vents of your  
LCD TV to allow adequate cooling during operation.  
Hang the LCD TV wall mount plate to the wall mount bracket, completing installation.  
Enjoy your ViewSonic LCD TV!
