Safety Precautions
• Read these instructions completely before using the equipment.
• Keep these instructions in a safe place.
• Heed all warnings and follow all instructions.
• Sit at least 18” / 45 cm from the monitor.
• When installing the monitor, please leave 4” / 10 cm of open space around the
monitor for ventilation safety purposes.
• Always handle the display with care when moving it.
• Always use cabinets or stands or installation methods recommended by the
manufacturer of the monitor set.
• Always use furniture that can safely support the monitor.
• Always ensure the monitor is not overhanging the edge of the supporting
furniture.
• Do not place the monitor where children are likely to be present.
• Always educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the
monitor or related equipment.
• Always route and manage cords and cables connected to your monitor so they
cannot be tripped over, pulled, or grabbed.
• Exercise caution when removing the rear cover of the monitor. This monitor
contains high-voltage parts.
• Do not use this equipment near water. To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other devices (including amplifiers) that may increase the temperature of the
monitor to dangerous levels.
• Clean with a soft, dry cloth. If further cleaning is required, see the
“Maintenance” section in this guide for further instructions.
• Avoid touching the screen. Skin oils are difficult to remove.
• Do not touch, rub, or apply pressure to the monitor screen, as it may
permanently damage the screen.
• Do not place the monitor in an unstable location.
• Do not place the monitor on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases)
without anchoring both the furniture and the monitor to a suitable support.
• Do not place the monitor on cloth or other materials that may be located
between the product and supporting furniture.

3
• 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 display, video cable, or power cord.
• Do not place 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.
• If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately
switch the display off and contact your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to
continue using the display.
• Do not attempt to circumvent the safety provisions of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The
wide blade and the third prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does not
fit into your outlet, obtain an adaptor and do not attempt to force the plug into
the outlet.
• Please confirm the distribution system installed in the building. The system
should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
• When connecting to a power outlet, DO NOT remove the grounding prong.
Please ensure grounding prongs are NEVER REMOVED.
• Protect the power cord from being treaded upon or pinched, particularly at the
plug, and at the point where it emerges from the equipment. Be sure that the
power outlet is located near the equipment so that it is easily accessible.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the equipment. When a cart is used, use with caution
when moving the cart/equipment combination to avoid injury from tipping over.
• Unplug this equipment when it will be unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when
the unit has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the unit, if the unit
is exposed to rain or moisture, or if the unit does not operate normally or has
been dropped.
• Excessive sound volume from ear-/headphones may cause hearing damage/
hearing loss.
• Adjustment of the volume control as well as the equalizer may increase the ear-/
headphones output voltage and therefore, the sound volume level.
• The factors influencing the ear-/headphones output other than those specified
by the manufacturer (e.g. operating system, equalizer software, firmware,
driver) may increase the ear-/headphone output voltage and therefore, the
sound volume level.

4
• Stability Hazard: The display may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
To prevent injury, this display must be securely attached to the floor/wall in
accordance with the installation instructions.
• If the existing monitor is going to be retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.

2. When users turn on the WiFi Display option, by default the VG1656N will be
powered by its own battery when the Wifi Module is on to make sure the power
supply is enough to support the WiFi module.
When the WiFi module is on, 5V/3A will be used to determine the power supply
source.

Power Supply Detection
1. When the VG1656N is connected to a laptop or tablet as a signal source using a
USB Type C to USB Type C cable, it will use 5V/1.5A to determine if the power is
supplied by a laptop or tablet because this is the Wi-Fi module off state.
• If it is greater than 5V/1.5A, the OSD Menu will show power source select
options for the user to choose whether to use the USB Type C device or the
VG1656N’s own battery to power the VG1656N.
• If it is less than 5V/1.5A, the VG1656N’s battery is supplied directly to the
VG1656N for use. The power source select option will be grayed out and the
user will not be able to select the power source.
2. When users turn on the WiFi Display option, by default the VG1656N will be
powered by its own battery when the Wifi Module is on to make sure the power
supply is enough to support the WiFi module.
When the WiFi module is on, 5V/3A will be used to determine the power supply
source.
• If the USB Type C device has 5V/3A output, the Type C option in the power
source select of the OSD Menu will be displayed for users to decide whether to
use Type C or Battery for suppling power.
• If the USB Type C device does not have 5V/3A output, the power source
select option of the OSD Menu will gray out and the user will not be able to
select it, which means that it can only be powered by the local battery for the
VG1656N’s own use.

15
Power Delivery - Further Information
Due to the VG1656N’s design please note:
• The first connected device will be the main input signal.
• When a USB Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will
only distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.
• Only when one of the USB Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the
other one deliver two-way power.
If a laptop is connected first to the VG1656N, then a mobile phone/tablet is
connected second, the mobile phone/tablet’s battery will not be charged as neither
USB Type C port recognizes the connection as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the mobile phone/tablet’s screen, you must unplug
the USB Type C cable connected to the laptop.
If a mobile phone/tablet is connected first to the VG1656N, then a laptop is
connected second, the mobile phone/tablet’s battery will not be charged as one of
the USB Type C ports is recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
If the laptop’s PD output is greater than 5V/1.5A, the Power Select option in the
OSD Menu will be available. The user can then choose to use the connected USB
Type C device or the VG1656N’s battery to power the monitor.
NOTE: If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the USB Type C
cable connected to the mobile phone.
Due to the VG1656N’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a
desktop computer at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts,
resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).

General Precautions
• Make sure the monitor is turned off and the power cable is unplugged from the

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.
• ViewSonic® will not be liable for damage resulting from use of any ammonia or
