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.

4. Always open the lens shutter (if any)

or remove the lens cap (if any) when the projector light source is on.

5. The light source becomes extremely hot during operation.

4 Important safety instructions

8. Do not operate light sources beyond the rated light source life.

9. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.

11. 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.

10. 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 light source 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.

If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.

12. 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 light source.

13. 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.

5 Important safety instructions

14. Do not step on the projector or place any

3000 m

0 m

(0 feet)

objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.

15. 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.

16. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. 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. 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).

17. This apparatus must be earthed.

To avoid damaging the DLP chips, never aim a high-power laser beam into the projection lens.

6 Important safety instructions

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors in the projected image size.

Projection distance (mm) Ver ti c al o ff s et ( mm )Diagonal

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 331 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 230 mm, the closest match in the "Projection distance (mm)" column is 222 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 100'' (about 2.5 m) screen is required.

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. The distance between the ambient light reflection screen and the projector should also be considered during installation.

12 Positioning your projector

Adjusting the projected image

Press .

Adjusting the projection angle

If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes trapezoidal. You can screw the adjuster feet to fine-tune the horizontal angle.

To retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in a reverse direction.

Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. The strong light from the light source may cause damage to your eyes.

Fine-tuning the image clarity

Go to INSTALLATION > Motor Focus and use / to adjust the focus settings.

Correcting keystone

Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image becomes a trapezoid due to angled projection.

To automatically correct this, enable Auto Keystone in the INSTALLATION menu.

To manually correct this:

1. Go to INSTALLATION > Keystone.

2. Press / on the remote control.

3. After the Keystone correction page appears, press to correct keystoning at the top of the image. Press to correct keystoning at the bottom of the image. When done, press BACK to save and exit.
