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
The projected image size and vertical offset depend on how far you place the projector, and the

zoom setting you choose. There is more information from Projection dimensions on page 14
which can help decide exact distance and height of your projector.

You can install your projector in the following ways.

1. Front
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. Rear
Select this location with the projector

placed on the table behind the screen. Note
that a special rear projection screen is
required.

2. Front Ceiling
Select this location with the projector

suspended upside-down from the ceiling in
front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ
Projector Ceiling Mount Kit from your
dealer to mount your projector on the
ceiling.

• The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is in a 16:9 aspect ratio

• *The vertical offset value is the vertical distance from the bottom edge of the image (when the projector
is placed on a table, diagram on the left), or top edge of the image (when the projector is ceiling
mounted, diagram on the right) to the centerline of lens.

• Due to the lens optical characteristics, every projector has its vertical offset ratio. The vertical offset
value normally gets larger while the projection distance increases.

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3500
mm.

If your measured projection distance is 300 cm, the closest match in the "Distance from screen

(mm)" column is 2914 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 100'' (about 2.5 m) screen is

required. The projected image will be slightly higher/lower than the lens centerline with 125
mm vertical offset.

14 Positioning your projector

To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by referring to the values listed in the
non-gray rows.

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 use a security cable to secure both the base of the mounting
bracket and the security bar on the projector. 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 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.

Shifting the projection lens

The lens shift control provides flexibility for installing your projector. It allows the projector to
be positioned off the center of the screen.

The lens shift is expressed as a percentage of the projected image height or width. You can
turn the knobs on the projector to shift the projection lens in any direction within the allowable
range depending on your desired image position.

To reach the highest or lowest projection
position:

1. Turn (Up/Down).

2. When you feel it is reaching the limit, turn

to the left or right and turn

again.

3. Repeat the step above until the suitable
position is found.

• Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality.

• Please stop turning the adjustment knob when you hear a clicking sound indicating that the knob has
reached its limit. Over-turning the knob may cause damage.

17 Positioning your projector

Adjusting the projected image

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 size and clarity

1. Adjust the projected image to the size that
you need using the zoom ring.

2. Sharpen the image by rotating the focus
ring.

Securing the projector

The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. Otherwise, purchase a security
cable to secure the projector. A security bar is located on the right side of the projector. See
item 16 on page 9. Insert a security cable to the opening of the security bar and secure it to a
nearby fixture or heavy furniture.

You can also purchase a lock, such as the Kensington lock, to secure the projector. There is a
Kensington lock slot on the rear side of the projector. See item 14 on page 9. A Kensington
security cable lock is usually a combination of key(s) and the lock. Refer to the lock’s
documentation for finding out how to use it.

Switching input signal

The projector can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. However, it can only
display one full screen at a time. When starting up, the projector automatically searches for the
available signals.

Advanced Color
Settings

• Color Temperature Tuning
There are several preset color temperature settings available. The

available settings may vary according to the signal type selected.
When Bright is selected for Picture Mode, the color temperature switches

to Native, and cannot be changed.

• Native: With the light source’s original color temperature and higher
brightness, this setting is suitable for environments where high brightness is
required, such as projecting pictures in well lit rooms.

• Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.

• Cool: Makes images appear bluish white.

• Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.

• Color Management
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.

To make adjustments, press the / arrows to highlight an independent
color from among Red (R), Green (G), Blue (B), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), or
Yellow (Y), and press OK. The following menu items are displayed for your
choice.

• 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.

• 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.

If you selected White Balance (W), you can adjust the contrast levels of
Red, Green, and Blue by selecting R Gain, G Gain, and B Gain.

To return all the settings to the factory default values, highlight Reset, and
press OK.

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.

• Wide Color Gamut
Color Gamut refers to the range of colors that can potentially be displayed

by a device. There are some standards to define difference levels of color
gamuts for display devices, such as CIE 1976, sRGB, Adobe RGB, NTSC,
etc. Selecting On enables the color filter module to extend its color gamut
to DCI-P3.

This function is only selectable when HDR10 or HLG is selected. With this
projector, selecting On will automatically apply the most suitable color
gamut to the image source.

High Altitude
Mode

12V Trigger

We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is
between 1500 m–3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is
between 0°C–30°C.

Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel
operating noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to
improve overall system cooling and performance.

If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the
above, it may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to
protect your projector from over-heating. In cases like this, you should
switch to High Altitude mode to solve these symptoms. However, this is
not to state that this projector can operate under any and all harsh or
extreme conditions.

Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and
ambient temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you
turn the mode on under such a condition.

If On is selected, the projector will send electronic signal out when it is
turned on.

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.

Please note that it is normal to have some dust on the lens surface. If it needs lens clean,
please never remove any parts of the projector.

Contact your dealer or local customer service center if the projector fails to operate as
expected.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as
described in Shutting down the projector on page 31 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 to Specifications on page 54 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.

Getting to know the light hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light source 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 Custom mode = a hours

2. Equivalent Light Hour = hours

, if

X= light source life spec of Normal mode
Y= light source spec of ECO mode
Z= light source spec of SmartEco mode
A= light source spec of Custom mode

A’ is the longest light life spec among X, Y, Z, A.

For time used in each light source 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 Hours manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown
in OSD menu since projector system calculates time used for each light source mode in “Minutes” then
rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

To obtain the light source information:
Go to Advanced Menu - System > Light Source Information and press OK. The Light Source

Information page appears.
You can also get the light hour information on the Information menu.

Extending light source life

• Setting the Light Source Mode

Go to Advanced Menu - Picture > Advanced Color Settings > Light Source Mode and press

/ to select a suitable light source power from among the provided modes.

Setting the projector in ECO,

Light Source
Mode

Normal Provides full light brightness.

SmartEco, or Custom mode extends light life.

Descriptions

ECO Lowers brightness to extend the light life and decreases the fan noise.

SmartEco Adjusts the light power automatically depending on the content brightness

level while optimizing display quality.

Custom Adjusts the light power manually from 70% to 100% in 1% increments.

51 Maintenance

• Setting Auto Power Off
This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a

set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of light source life.
To set Auto Power Off, go to Advanced Menu - System > Operation Settings > Power On/Off

Settings > Auto Power Off, and press / to set a period of time.

The light source (LED) can last around 20,000-30,000 hours and no need to be changed during the lifetime
of the projector mostly. When it is needed, LED replacement is not user-serviceable. Please contact the
service center for assistance.
