Introduction

Remote control effective range

Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 15 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor should not exceed 7 meters (~ 23 feet).

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control battery

1. Pull out the battery holder.

Please follow the illustrated instructions. Push and hold the locking arm while pulling out the battery holder.

2. Insert the new battery in the holder. Note the positive polarity should face outward.

3. Push the holder into the remote control.

• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

• There may be battery damage if the battery is

incorrectly replaced.

• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.

• Dispose of the used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.

• Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.

• If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove

the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.

Introduction

Positioning your projector

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

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

16:10 is the native aspect ratio of this projector.

4:3 aspect image in a 16:10

aspect display area

The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces).

The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-toreel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen).

You can see from the diagram on page 19, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector.

If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.

When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are proportional to the projection distance.

BenQ has provided a table of screen size to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. Refer to "Projection dimensions" on page 19 depending on the projector you are using. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why does my CPU become busier after launching the BenQ EZ

QPrensenter?

• A: BenQ GP3 EZ QPresenter counts on your PC CPU to encode the screen images to

reduce the data that needs to be transferred to the receiver. Hence there will be some overhead to your PC. In general, for a 4+ ranking PCs, it would need up to 30% of CPU overhead to perform wireless display.

• Q: Why can’t I project my screen?

• A: BenQ GP3 EZ QPresenter needs to access the network connection at some point.

As a result, when your Anti-virus or network security software prompts you for permission to allow the sender software to access the network, please grant access to proceed, or choose “add rule” to the fire wall settings.

• Q: Why does my display frame rate slow down?

• A: BenQ GP3 EZ QPresenter needs to encode display content while sending massive

real-time data to the projector.

i. PC: A dual core PC (excluding Atom processors) or Mac is required to encode

the screen images at 30FPS (Frame Per Second) speed. However, if you would

like to increase the FPS speed, you can: a. Use better media players, such as GOM player b. Close all unused apps c. Use a faster PC with Windows Experience Score higher than 4 (4+

recommended)

ii. Network:

Using 802.11n WiFi a. Move your laptop closer to the projector b. Disable the “Minimum Power Consumption” option from the “Advanced Tab” in

your WiFi network Adopter Property setting c. Lower PC screen resolution
