Wall mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property . If you intend to mount your projector on the wall, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector wall mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector wall mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the wall due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws. You can purchase a BenQ projector wall mount 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 wall mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

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

• Use BenQ Projector Wall Mounting Kit come with the package. Please refer to the User manual in the box of wall mount kit for installation details.

• 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 bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

• Ask your dealer to install the projector for you. Installing the projector on your own may cause it to fall and result in injury.

• T ake necessary procedures to prevent the projector from falling off such as during an earthquake.

• The warranty doesn’t cover any product damage caused by mounting the projector with a non-BenQ brand projector mounting kit.

• Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling may be higher than expected.

• Read the user manual for the mounting kit about the range of torque. Tightening with torque exceeding the recommended range may cause damage to the projector and subsequently falling off.

• Make sure the power outlet is at an accessible height so that you can easily shut down the projector.

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under contr olled and r epr oducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1. Go to the Picture menu and highlight 3D Color Management.

2. Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.

3. Highlight Primary color and press ◄/► to select a color from among Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow.

4. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◄/► to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right for how the colors relate to each other.

For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will be selected. Increasing its range will include red close to yellow and red close to magenta.

5. Press ▼ to highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference by pressing ◄/►. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately. For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

6. Press ▼ to highlight Gain and adjust its values to y our pr ef er ence by pr ess ing ◄/►. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

Maintenance 66

Light information

Getting to know the light hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent light hour is as follows:

1. Light Usage Time = (x+y+z+a) hours, if

Time used in Normal mode = x hours Time used in Eco mode = y hours Time used in SmartEco mode = z hours Time used in LampSave mode = a hours

2. Equivalent Light Source Hour = α hours

α = x(A’ / X) + y(A’ / Y) + z(A’ / Z) + a(A’ / A), if X = light life spec of Normal mode Y = light life spec of Eco mode Z = light life spec of SmartEco mode A = light life spec of LampSave mode A’ is the longest light life spec amoung X, Y, Z, A

For time used in each light mode shown in OSD menu:

• Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in Hours.

• When time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.

When you calculate Equivalent Light Sour ce Hour manual ly, it will probably have de viatio n fr om the value shown in OSD menu si nce pr ojector sy st em calculates Time used for each Light Mode in Minutes then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

See "Setting Light Mode as Economic or SmartEco" below for more information on Economic mode.

To obtain the light hour information:

1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press ◄/► until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced

menu is highlighted.

2. Press ▼ to highlight Light Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Light

Settings page displays.

3. You will see the Light Timer information displaying on the menu.

4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.

You can also get the light hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
