For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance in the
"Average" column is 4702 mm.
If your measured projection distance is 7000 mm, the closest match in the "Average" column is 7053 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 180'' (about 4.6 m) screen is required.
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.
• 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 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.

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
(Left/Right) to the left or right and turn
again.
3. Repeat the step above until finding the suitable position you need.
• If you hear a “clicking sound” during the adjustment, it means that the knob is past its adjustment limit. Please stop adjusting it, in order to avoid any unexpected damage, and turn the knob in the opposite direction, at least to one step before the click.
• If you can’t turn it back, please press and turn the knob back at same time.

Page 16

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 adjust 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
• 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 the distorted image:
1. Display the 3D Keystone correction from the following menus.
• The Installation menu of the Advanced menu system
2. After the 3D Keystone correction page appears:
• Press / to select V, H, or R. Selecting V corrects the vertical sides keystone. Selecting H corrects the horizontal sides keystone. Selecting R rotates the projected image clockwise or counterclockwise.
• Press / to adjust its value.
• To automatically correct the vertical sides of the distorted image, press OK for 2 seconds, or enable Auto Vertical Keystone on the Installation menu.
3. Please be noticed that the projected image might be distorted when the keystone value is set to over 30. And when the keystone adjustment reaches its limit, the machine will not respond to your request. You have to set the keystone value of the axis you are adjusting to 0 and lower another axis with the maximum value. Thus, it is recommended to set your keystone value under 30 for each axis.

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
High Altitude Mode
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.
Port Selection: Allows you to select a preferred control port: through the RS-232C port (RS232 port on the projector) or the HDBaseT port

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.
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 27 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 56 or consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.

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 Dimming 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 life spec of ECO mode Z= light source life spec of Dimming mode A= light source life spec of Custom mode
A’ is the longest light life spec among X, Y, Z, A
For time used in each light 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 mode in “Minutes” then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.
To obtain the light hour 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, press OK. The Light Source Mode page appears.
Setting the projector in ECO, Dimming or Custom mode extends lamp life.
Light Mode Description
Normal Provides full light brightness ECO Lowers brightness to extend the light life and decreases the fan noise Dimming Lowers brightness to offer a longer light source life
Custom
Enables the light source brightness adjustment bar so that you can adjust the setting to your liking
