Important safety instructions

Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.
1. Please read this manual before you operate your projector. Save it for future reference.
2. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
6. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of ±10 volts occur. In areas where
the mains voltage may fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
7. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under operation as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even cause a fire. To temporarily turn off the lamp, use the blank function.
4. Always open the lens shutter (if any) or
remove the lens cap (if any) when the projector lamp is on.
5. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
8. Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
4 Important safety instructions
9. Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the projector is unplugged.
10. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.
11. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp which has its own removable cover.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
13. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
- Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15 degrees front to back. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal may cause a malfunction of, or damage to, the lamp.
14. Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
15. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
12. Do not block the ventilation holes.
- Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
- Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
- Do not place inflammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.
16. When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
5 Important safety instructions
17. Do not place liquids near or on the projector.
3000 m
(10000 feet)
0 m
(0 feet)
Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's power outlet and call BenQ to have the projector serviced.
18. This product is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling/wall mount installation.
20. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
- Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free flow of air around the projector.
- Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
- Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shorten the projector's life span and darken the image.
- Locations near fire alarms
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F
- Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).
19. This apparatus must be earthed.
Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.

The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor(s) to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor(s) should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor(s) on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
• Operating the projector from the front • Operating the projector from the top
11 Introduction

Positioning your projector

Choosing a location

Before choosing an installation location for your projector, take the following factors into consideration:
• Size and position of your screen
• Electrical outlet location
• Location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment
You can install your projector in the following ways.
1. Front Table
Select this location with the projector placed on the table in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.
3. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down in front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Kit from your dealer to mount your projector.
2. Rear Table
Select this location with the projector placed on the table behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required.
4. Rear Ceiling
Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling/Wall Mount Kit are required for this installation location.
After turning on the projector, go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Projector Installation > Projector Installation and press / to select a setting.
You can also use QUICK INSTALL on the remote control to access this menu.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 5011 mm.
If your measured projection distance is 6600 mm, the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)" column is 6681 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 160'' (about 4.1 m) screen is required.
• To optimize your projection quality, we suggest you do the projection within non-gray area.
• All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector's optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location.

Mounting the projector

If you intend to mount your projector, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector mounting kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.
If you use a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall down due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
Before mounting the projector
• Purchase a BenQ projector mounting kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector.
• BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the mounting
