Getting Started

Congratulations on your purchase of a Optiquest Q110 color monitor!

Important: We recommend that you save the original box and all packing

material for future shipping needs.

NOTE: This product was designed for operation in the magnetic fields of the

hemisphere where it was purchased.

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 Q110 package includes:

• Q110 monitor

• Video cable

• Power cord

• User Guide

• INF and ICM installation files on diskette or CD-ROM

NOTE: The supplied INF file ensures compatibility with Windows operating

systems, and the ICM file (Image Color Matching) ensures accurate on-screen

colors. Optiquest®recommends that you install both files.

Precautions

• For best viewing conditions sit at least

18” from the monitor.

• AVOID TOUCHING THE SCREEN

WITH YOUR FINGERS. Oils from the

skin are difficult to remove.

• NEVER REMOVE THE REAR

COVER. The monitor contains high-

voltage parts. You may suffer serious

injury if you touch these parts.

• Avoid exposing the monitor to direct

sunlight or another heat source. The

monitor should be facing away from

direct sunlight to reduce glare.

• Do not place your monitor near a source

of water or moisture.

• Place your monitor in a well ventilated

area. Do not place anything on the

monitor that blocks the ventilation slots

or prevents adequate dissipation of heat.

• Do not place heavy objects on the

monitor, video cable, or power cord.

• If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange

odor is present, immediately switch the

monitor off and call your dealer or

ViewSonic. It is dangerous to operate

your monitor under these conditions.

• Keep the monitor away from magnets,

motors, transformers and televisions.
