Safety, Warning, and Notice
To prevent potential dangers and prolong the service life of the TV, please observe the following points when installing, operating, and cleaning the TV.
For wall mounting, have a qualified and experienced technician mount it safely. Use only a recommended wall bracket (optional accessory) for this TV and ensure that the bracket is securely screw fixed to the wall structure, and not just the wall render, lining or cladding.
Do not place the TV near water, like a spa or pool, or in a position which will allow the splashing or spraying of water onto the display.
Do not place the TV near or above sources of heat, such as radiators, heaters, fuel stoves and other heat-generating items (including audio amplifiers).
Observe all warnings and cautions as labeled on the TV.
Do not place the TV in direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto the TV.
Do not place the TV on an uneven, sloping or unstable surface (such as a trolley) where it may fall and cause damage to itself or others.
English
For wall mounting, allow appropriate space on top for attaching the TV to the wall bracket.
If recessed into a wall opening, you must leave appropriate free space both top and bottom for mounting and removing the TV.
Do not cover or block the vents and openings while the TV is switched on.
Do not place the TV in an enclosed place without allowing for ventilation.
All Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screens have a very thin protective layer of glass which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme temperatures. Please handle with care.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from the TV at all times.
Safety, Warning, and Notice iii
English
Do not insert your fingers or any foreign objects into the hinge and its surrounding area to avoid possible injury to you or damage to the TV.
• Only use the power cord supplied with the TV. Never use a power cord which appears damaged or frayed, or change the plug type on the power cord.
• Use only a properly grounded plug and receptacle. -- An improper ground may cause electric shock or equipment damage (Class l Equipment only).
• Be aware of the total loading when using extension cords or multiple outlet power boards.
• This TV has no power switch. When installing the TV, incorporate a readily accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power cord to socket-outlet which must be provided near the TV and easily accessible. If a fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to switch the power supply off, or disconnect the power cord.
• This TV has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety, however, IMPROPER HANDLING OR USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. Please handle this TV with care. If damaged, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the TV. Transport the TV to your nearest BenQ authorized service center for repair.
• There are no user serviceable parts in this TV. Never unscrew or remove any covers. There are dangerous voltages inside. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord before moving the TV.
Do not apply excessive force or place heavy stuff on the TV to avoid possible damage.
Care and cleaning information
• Always turn off and disconnect the TV from the mains power before
cleaning.
• Do not use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp
well wrung-out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft cloth and lightly wipe the TV.
• If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish-washing detergent diluted with
water on a separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe over again with a clean dry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.
• When cleaning the TV (including the frame around the screen), please use a
proper cleaning tool harmless to the materials used by the TV in order to avoid possible scratches or damages.
• Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a
few non-active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed point of color. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product as it is usually not visible at normal viewing distances.
• If the TV is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when
you are going away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged from the wall outlet. You should also consider removing the batteries from the remote control (as they may leak).
• The TV is not suitable for installation on certain transportation vehicles
(such as cars, yachts, and so on) to avoid possible damage to the TV because of vibration.
• LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional
CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are also susceptible to “screen burn-in” or “image retention” which can be found on the screen as visible fixed lines and

shades and cannot be removed. To avoid such permanent damage to the screen, please take the following preventive measures when using your TV:
(1) Avoid displaying still images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station
logos, fixed/inactive text or icons) for more than two hours.
(2) Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with the
image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3 aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there
may be visible burn marks on the screen as two vertical lines. (3) Turn on the ECO Mode function when displaying PC input image. (4) This TV is designed for home use only. Do not use it as a commercial
display in public areas.Please note that the product warranty does not
cover any screen damages that result from the failure to take the
measures above.
Please note that the product warranty does not cover any screen damages that result from the failure to take the measures above.
Many of the electronic components used by the TV contain high tension coils, and thus inductance occur when circuits pass through these components. This inductance is a normal physical phenomenon, which can be found in many electronic devices in daily life such as computers and fluorescent lights. Therefore, there is no concern or worry about the use and safety of this TV.
Safety notice for batteries
English
The use of the wrong type of batteries may cause chemical leaks or explosion. Please note the following:
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted with the positive and negative terminals in the correct direction as shown in the battery compartment.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries will shorten battery life or cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
• When batteries fail to function, replace them immediately.
• Chemicals which leak from batteries may cause skin irritation. If any chemical matter seeps out of the batteries, wipe it up immediately using a dry cloth, and replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• Due to varying storage conditions, the battery life for the batteries included with your TV may be shortened. Replace them within 3 months or as soon as you can after initial use.
Safety notice for remote control
If the TV comes with a remote control, please note the following:
• Do not put the remote control in the direct heat, humidity and avoid fire.
• Do not drop the remote control.
• Do not expose the remote control to water or moisture. Failure to do so could result in malfunction.
• Confirm there is no object between the remote control and the remote control sensor of the TV.
