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.

• 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.

Care and cleaning information4

• 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.

Troubleshooting

There are many external influences and circumstances beyond the control of BenQ which may be causing problems with your TV. Some of the more common and user fixable problems are listed below for your information.

Please check the following list before calling your nearest BenQ Customer Service Center, and attempt the following steps to diagnose and fix the problem yourself:

Symptoms Possible causes

the

wall outlet is switched on (if switched).

Check that power is available from the power outlet by

trying another known working appliance (e.g. desk lamp)

from that same power outlet.

Check that the TV is turned on (The power indicator

should be blue).

Try a different input source to confirm if the symptom is

still present or whether the source is at fault.

Check for mis-connection of cables for that input.

Adjust the volume control to check that isn't turned down.

The picture is not sharp or the picture contains image movement when using the TV tuner input.

The picture is doubled or tripled when using the TV tuner input.

The reception may be weak. See next problem solution.

Change channels to confirm if the symptom is still present

or whether the channel station is at fault.

Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.

Try redirecting or relocating your antenna to improve the

picture. If the antenna is exterior, have a suitable qualified

and experienced antenna specialist adjust the antenna.

Your TV antenna signal may be effected by interference. Try

redirecting or relocating your antenna to reduce the effects

of the interference. If the antenna is exterior, have a suitable

qualified and experienced antenna specialist adjust the

antenna. Picture ghosting is caused by reflections from

buildings, large metal structures and mountains.

Troubleshooting 37

The cable connection is correct, but there is only sound and no picture is displayed.

The image appears

distorted.

Check to make sure that the cables are firmly connected to the terminals on the TV. Ensure that the input signal resolution from the source device (e.g., the computer or TV game console) is supported by the TV (maximum 1080p for HDMI and Component Video inputs, and 1920×1080 @ 60Hz for computer and DVI inputs). If the input signal resolution is too high or not supported, the picture will not be displayed. Lower or select a compatible signal resolution on the signal source device and try again.

Ensure the TV aspect ratio is correctly set to suit the image source. Try a different input source to confirm if the symptom is still present or whether the source is at fault.

The image appears too 'washed out', or the darkest areas of the image appear too bright.

Picture is not clear, or there is no image display when viewing computer input.

Remote control does not function properly.

Lower the

Contrast setting.

The input source device (e.g. DVD player) brightness level may be set too high. Reduce its brightness level. Reduce the brightness level until the black areas of the picture appear as black.

Check the connection of cables. The computer video output resolution is not supported by the TV and cannot be displayed. Please select a compatible output resolution on the computer and try again. The computer output resolution is set too high. 1920×1080 @ 60Hz is the highest acceptable computer timing.

Check for incorrect battery orientation. Check for dead batteries. Check your distance and angle from the TV. Check whether remote control is properly being pointed at the TV's remote control sensor window. Check for any obstacle between the remote control and the remote control sensor window. Check that the remote control sensor window is not under strong fluorescent lighting. or in direct sunlight. Check for any devices (computer or personal digital assistant, PDA) nearby that transmit infrared signals which may cause interference to signal transmission between the remote control and the TV. Turn off the infrared function of these devices.
