  • Decide whether or not to use the 'Size 1' Bezel (Q1, Size 1 only!)
  • Consult the respective 'Generic' user interface for design ideas
  • Consult the Q Series user interface 'Design guidelines'
  • To further aid understanding, consult the Q Series user interface 'Detailed specification'
  • In your chosen design environment, establish a template (template dimensions are provided in the 'Design guidelines' document)

Once validated, this design PDF will be used in the manufacturing process
