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
Page 5
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

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.

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.
You can do one of the steps below to choose Projector Position:
1. If this is the first time you turn on the projector, the first step in setup wizard will guide you to select
a setting.
2. When the input source is BenQ Launcher, go to Settings > Display > Projector Position
and select a setting.
3. When the input source is not BenQ Launcher, go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Projector
Installation and select a setting.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3454 mm.
14 Positioning your projector
Page 15
If your measured projection distance is 5000 mm, the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)"
column is 4893 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 170'' (about 4.3 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.
• To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by following the values in the non-gray cells.
• The values in the gray cells are for reference only.
15 Positioning your projector
Page 16
Mounting the projector
Ceiling/Wall mount screw: M4
(Max L = 25 mm; Min L = 20 mm)
Unit: mm
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
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.

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 lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause damage to your eyes.
Fine-tuning the image size and clarity
Adjust the projected image to the size that you
need using the zoom ring.
Sharpen the image by rotating the focus ring.
Correcting keystone
Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image becomes a trapezoid due to angled
projection.
To correct this, make sure that the input source is NOT BenQ Launcher and Auto Vertical
Keystone is Off.
Press / on the remote control or / on the projector
to display the Keystone correction page. Press to correct
keystoning at the top of the image. Press to correct
keystoning at the bottom of the image. When Keystone OSD
pops up, long press OK for 2 seconds to enable Auto
V-Keystone. When Keystone OSD pops up, long press (BACK) for 2 seconds to reset Keystone.

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:
1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.
• In the connections above, some cables may not be included with the projector (see Shipping contents on page 7).
They are commercially available from electronics stores.
• The connection illustrations are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks available on the projector vary with
each projector model.
• Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo
like FN + function key with a monitor symbol turns the external display on/off. Press FN and the labeled function
key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.
• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been

following options.
Color Temperature Tuning
• R Gain/G Gain/B Gain: Adjusts the contrast levels of Red, Green, and Blue.
• R Offset/G Offset/B Offset: Adjusts the brightness levels of Red, Green,

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. Selects a color from among R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), C
(Cyan), M (Magenta), or Y (Yellow).
• Hue: Increase in the range will include colors
consisted of more proportions of its two
adjacent colors. Please refer to the illustration
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.
• 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.

Lamp information
Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by
the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:
ght Usage Time = (x+y+z+a) hours, if
1. Li
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
55 Maintenance
Page 56
2. Equivalent light source hour = hours
ө
α=ġx(A’/X) + y(A’/Y) + z(A’/Z) + a(A’/A)
ġġ
, if
X = lamp life spec of Normal mode
Y = lamp life spec of ECO 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
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.
