FCC Compliance Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply within the limits of a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in
a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by using one or more of the
following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technical for help.
Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Only the peripherals
(digital input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) certified to comply with the Class B
limits may be attached to this monitor. Operation with non-certified peripherals is likely to
result in interference to radio and TV reception. Only shielded signal cables may be used
with this system.

About the Dome Q2 Display
The Dome® Q2 display system consists of a 20.1-inch, TFT LCD panel and an AX1
controller and driver. Specifically, the architecture of the Q2 display incorporates
AMLCD TFT technology to yield higher levels of brightness. The AX1 controller is
an advanced workstation graphics accelerator based on a high-bandwidth, parallel
pipeline geometry and rendering architecture. It supports the landscape-to-portrait
rotation commonly needed for viewing medical images.
Each display is individually characterized and offers the following key features.
See the display specification for more information.
•
Maintains mid-level grayscale dynamic range of 766 shades of gray
•
Supports video standard of 1600 x 1200
•
Maintains high level of brightness, high contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles
•
Offers front-panel controls to adjust screen parameters with built-in OSD menus
•
Has VESA standard for optional wall-mounting
The AX1 controller supports the PCI Express bus for communication between the
graphics subsystem and the workstation processor and can drive dual digital panels.
See controller specification for more information.
The Dome CXtra software enhances the functionality of the Q2 display for viewing
medical images in referral settings. Dome CXtra provides a range of value-added
services, such as DICOM calibration, AAPM TG18 acceptance testing, error reporting,
and enterprise management.
Before installing the display system, review the
safety precautions and installation
precautions. Once your display system is in operation, follow the guidelines for
cleaning and servicing your unit.

Unpacking and handling tips
If any item is missing or damaged,
notify your dealer immediately.
Unpack the Q2 display and its
accessories carefully. Improper
handling may damage or break

proper ventilation. But avoid setting
up the unit near a window with
strong sunlight. You will have
difficulty seeing the screen with
glare reflecting off the display.
Avoid touching the screen with your
fingers or objects. Skin oils are hard
to remove from the screen.
Mounting and security options
The Q2 display accepts a VESAcompliant mounting interface pad.
You can connect the display to
another type of desktop stand or
wall-mounted object.
The display has a Kensington
Security Slot that allows you to
secure the display with a locking
cable. You can purchase the cable
at most computer stores.

Enhancements with Dome CXtra Software
The Dome® CXtra™ software enhances the functionality of the Q2 display for
viewing medical images in referral settings. Dome CXtra allows you to monitor
and maintain your Q2 display locally or from a remote location using any SNMP
console application.

• DIN Test. Perform the German
standard test for measuring display
performance.

Using USB Connections
Both the Q2 display and the desk stand have an integrated self-powered USB hub
that allows you to attach USB devices (such as a keyboard or mouse) to your display
rather than to your computer.
To use the USB ports
1 Use the USB cable to connect the upstream port on the display or desk stand
to the downstream port on your USB-compliant computer or other hub.
2 Connect your USB-compliant peripherals to the downstream ports on
the display or the desk stand.
See the back panel, side panel, and desk stand for another view. See the
USB specification for more information.

when they are connected to the
USB ports (both the upstream and
downstream) of the display.
