Plug & Play For Windows® 95 users Plug and Play is Microsoft®'s method of providing automatic peripheral connections in Windows 95. Because your new monitor features the VESA® (Video Electronics Standards Association) DDC (Display Data Channel) standard, the monitor's resolutions are simple to adjust when used with a DDC compatible video card in the Plug and Play environment.
DDCTM Diagnostic Utility For IBM computers and compatibles The ViewSonic G773 uses DDC (Display Data Channel) protocol to communicate with your computer's video card. The software diskette or CD included in the ViewSonic G773 package has a utility file called DDCTEST.EXE. This utility is useful for troubleshooting if DDC-related problems occur when using Windows® 3.1 or Windows® 95. E N G L I S H When you run the DDC Diagnostic Utility, one of two messages will appear: 1.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 5 Helpful Hints E N G L I S H ● Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or other heat source. The monitor should be facing away from direct sunlight to reduce glare. ● Choose a well ventilated area to position your monitor to allow adequate dissipation of heat. Do not place anything on top of the monitor. ● Ensure the monitor area is clean and moisture free. ● Keep the monitor away from magnets, motors, transformers, speakers, and televisions.
Care of Your Monitor ● When cleaning the monitor screen, use only non-ammonia based glass cleaners. Apply the cleaning solution to a clean, dry cloth, not directly to the screen. ● When cleaning the plastic case, use only a soft, dry cloth. If the plastic is very dirty, use a neutral, non-abrasive detergent. Do not use alcohol or ammonia based solutions. ● Avoid spilling liquid on the monitor. ● Always handle your monitor with care when moving it.
