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.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 5011 mm.
If your measured projection distance is 6200 mm, the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)"
column is 6264 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 150'' (about 3.8 m) screen is required.
To optimize your projection quality, we suggest to 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

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.
17 Positioning your projector
Page 18
Before mounting the projector
Ceiling/Wall mount screw: M4
(Max L = 25 mm; Min L = 20 mm)
Unit: mm
• 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
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.
• Take 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/wall 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.

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant
colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality,
select On.
When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.
Color Temperature
There are several preset color temperature settings available. The available settings
may vary according to the signal type selected.

Color Management
This function 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.
• Primary Color: Selects a color from among R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), C
(Cyan), M (Magenta), or Y (Yellow).
• Hue: Hue is used for adjusting the color
balance. Increase in the value will include colors
consisted of more proportions of its adjacent
colors in counterclockwise order. Decrease in
the value will have effect in clockwise order.
Please refer to the illustration for how the colors
relate to each other
For example, if you select Red and set its value at
0, only pure red in the projected picture will be
selected. Increasing its value will include red
close to yellow while decreasing its value will include red close to magenta.
• Saturation: Adjusts the values to your preference. 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.
• Gain: Adjusts the values to your preference. The contrast level of the
primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to
the image immediately.

Maintenance
Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure to turn off the projector
and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.
• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and gently
wipe the lens surface.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as
alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with
rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.
Cleaning the projector case
Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in
Menu operation on page 67 and unplug the power cord.
• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then
wipe the case.
Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.
Storing the projector
If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please follow the instructions below:
• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for
the projector. Please refer toSpecifications on page 90 or consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.
• Remove the battery from the remote control.
• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.
Transporting the projector
It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.
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 lamp hour is as follows:
1. Light Usage Time = (x+y+z+a) hours, if:
Time used in Normal mode = x hours
Time used in Economic mode = y hours
Time used in SmartEco mode = z hours
83 Maintenance
Page 84
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= lamp life spec of Normal mode
Y= lamp life spec of Economic mode
Z= lamp life spec of SmartEco mode
A= lamp life spec of LampSave mode
A’ is the longest lamp life spec among X, Y, Z, A
When you calculate Equivalent Lamp hour manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown in OSD
menu since projector system calculates time used for each lamp mode in “Minutes” then rounds down to an integer
in hours shown in OSD.
For time used in each lamp 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.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Light Settings and press OK. The Light Settings page
appears.
2. Press to select Light Usage Time and press OK. The Light Usage Time information is
displayed.
You can also get the lamp hour information on the Information menu.
Extending lamp life
• Setting the Light Mode
Go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Light Settings > Light Mode and select a suitable lamp
power from among the provided modes.
Setting the projector in Economic, SmartEco or LampSave mode extends lamp life.
