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.

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
