Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a VA800 color ViewPanel®.

Important! Save the original box and all packing material for future shipping needs.

NOTE: The word “Windows” in this user guide refers to the following

Microsoft®operating systems: Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000,

Windows NT®.

Package Contents

Your VA800 package includes:

•VA800 ViewPanel with video cable

• Setup Guide

• Power cords

• Video cable

• AC/DC Adapter

• ViewSonic Wizard CD-ROM (including user guide PDF file and INF/ICM

display optimization files)

IMPORTANT: The supplied INF file ensures compatibility with Windows

operating systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) assures accurate

on-screen colors.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18" from the ViewPanel.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN

WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the

skin are difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR

COVER. The ViewPanel contains

high-voltage parts. You may suffer

serious injury if you touch these parts.

• Avoid exposing the ViewPanel to direct

sunlight or another heat source. The

ViewPanel should be facing away from

direct sunlight to reduce glare.

• Always handle your ViewPanel with

care when moving it.

• Place your ViewPanel in a well

ventilated area. Do not place anything on

the ViewPanel that prevents adequate

dissipation of heat.

• Ensure the area around the ViewPanel is

clean and free of moisture.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

ViewPanel, video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange

odor is present, immediately switch the

ViewPanel off and call your dealer or

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue

using the ViewPanel.

Using the ViewPanel

Setting the Timing Mode

Setting the timing mode is important for maximizing the quality of the screen

image and minimizing eye strain. The timing mode consists of the resolution

(example 1280 x 1024) and refresh rate (or vertical frequency--example 60

Hz). After setting the timing mode, use the OnView®controls (beginning on

page 10) to adjust the screen image.

The recommended timing mode for this ViewPanel is:

VESA®1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz

To set the Timing Mode:

1Set the resolution: Right-click on the Windows®desktop > Properties >

Settings >Desktop Area (Screen Area for Windows 95 and newer) > set

the resolution.

2Set the refresh rate: See your graphic card's user guide for instructions.

WARNING: Do not set the graphics card in your computer to exceed the

maximum refresh rate of 75 Hz. Doing so may result in permanent damage to

your ViewPanel.

rate in your graphic card's user guide.) Then, use Auto Sync to size and

center the screen image.

and sharp when using a resolution other than 1280 x 1024.
