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 high­voltage 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.

Troubleshooting
No power
Make sure power button (or switch) is ON.
Make sure A/C power cord is securely connected to the back of the monitor and to a power outlet.
Plug another electrical device (like a radio) into the power outlet to verify that the outlet is supplying proper voltage.
Power on but no screen image
Make sure the video cable supplied with the monitor is tightly secured to the video output port on the back of the computer. If the other end of the video cable is not attached permanently to the monitor, tightly secure it to the monitor.
Adjust brightness and contrast.
Verify whether an adapter is required for proper signal continuity between graphics card and monitor.
Flickering
Not enough power supplied. Connect the monitor to a different outlet. If using a surge protector, reduce the number of devices plugged in.
Verify that the refresh rate (Fv, Vertical Frequency) displayed at the center of the Main Menu is 75 Hz or higher. See “Specifications” on page 11.
Remove any devices from the area around the monitor that emit magnetic fields such as radios, surge protectors, unshielded speakers, fluorescent lights, AC power converters, desk fans, etc.
Make sure the graphics card in your computer can use non-interlaced mode at the desired frequencies. To enable your graphics card to support higher refresh rates, try selecting fewer colors or running lower resolutions.
Wrong or abnormal colors
If any colors (red, green, or blue) are missing, check the video cable to make sure it is securely connected. Loose or broken pins in the cable connector could cause an improper connection.
Connect the monitor to another computer.
Select Degauss from the Main Menu. Do this only once.
If you have an older graphics card, contact your reseller for assistance.
Entire screen image (rolls) vertically
Make sure video input signals are within the monitor's specified frequency range.
Try the monitor with another power source, graphics card, or computer system.
Connect the video cable securely.
Control buttons do not work
Press only one button at a time.

In other areas, use an AC cord which meets local safety standards.
IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING POWER CORD SELECTION
The power cord set for this unit has been enclosed and has been selected according to the country of destination and must be used to prevent electric shock. Use the following guidelines if it is necessary to replace the original cord set, or if the cord set is not enclosed.
The female receptacle of the cord set must meet CEE-22 requirements and will look like (Figure A1 below):
For the United States and Canada
In the United States and Canada the male plug is a NEMA5-15 style (Figure A2), UL Listed, and CSA Labeled. For units which are mounted on a desk or table, type SVT or SJT cord sets may be used. For units which sit on the floor, only SJT type cord sets may be used. The cord set must be selected according to the current rating for your unit. Please consult the table below for the selection criteria for power cords used in the United States and Canada.
FCC Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 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 instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a pa rticular 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 one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and 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 technician for help.
FCC Warning
To assure continued FCC compliance, the user must use grounded power supply cord and the provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is going to be used, use only a shielded BNC(5) cable. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this device.
CE Conformity
The device complies with the requirements of the EEC directive 89/336/EEC as amended by 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC Art.5 with regard to “Electromagnetic compatibility,” and 73/ 23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC Art.13 with regard to “Safety.”
