Important safety instructions

Your projector is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information
technology equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that you follow
the instructions mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.

General safety instruction

1. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may
damage your eyes.
2. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector light source is on.
3. In some countries, the line voltage is NOT stable. This projector is designed to operate safely
within a mains voltage between 100 to 240 volts AC, but could fail if power cuts or surges of
±10 volts occur. In areas where the mains voltage may uctuate or cut out, it is recommended
that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible
power supply (UPS).
4. Do not block the projection lens with any objects when the projector is under operation
as this could cause the objects to become heated and deformed or even cause a re. To
temporarily turn off the light source, press BLANK on the remote control.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining
serious damage.
6. Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which
may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing
only to suitably qualied professional service personnel.
7. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
Space that is poorly ventilated or conned. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and
free ow of air around the projector.
• Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car
with all windows rolled up.
• Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical
components, shortening the projector's life span and darkening the image.
Locations near re alarms
• Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F
• Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).
8. Do not block the ventilation holes.
• Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
• Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
Do not place inammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in
a re.
6
9. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage
to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
10. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to
fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and
call BenQ to have the projector serviced.
This equipment has a three-pin grounding-type power plug. Do not
remove the grounding pin. As a safety feature, this plug will only t a grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to t the plug into the
Do not remove
outlet, contact an electrician.

Note:
There is 5% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. BenQ recommends that if you
intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector 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.

Notice (when edge blending)
• To avoid the image shaking or some pixels in the display may be misaligned, do not use the
projector in the following location:
• In a building close to a construction site.
• In a room where an air conditioner unit is working and it vibrates.
• In a place where the temperature changes dramatically that may cause thermal contraction.
• Before making any adjustment, leave the projector lit for at least 45 minutes after its light source is turned on. This allows he internal temperature of the projector to stabilize.

Adjusting the Zoom/Focus

You may turn the zoom ring to zoom in or out. To focus the image, rotate the focus ring until the image is clear. The projector will focus at distances. See page 23.

Connection

Before connecting

• Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for connecting the external device
• Turn off the power to all devices before connecting cables.
• Take note of the following before connecting cables. Failure to do so may result in malfunctions.
• Before connecting a cable to the projector or to a device that is connected to the
projector, touch any nearby metallic objects to remove any static electricity from your body.
• Do not use unnecessarily long cables to connect the projector or a device to the projector.
Using a longer cable that is wound makes it act like an antenna, making it more susceptible to noise.
When connecting cables, connect GND rst and then insert the connecting terminal of the
connecting device.
• Acquire any connection cables necessary to connect external devices to the system that are not supplied.
• The images on the screen may wobble if the video signal contains too much jitter. In this case, a time base corrector (TBC) must be connected.
English
• If synchronization signal outputs from computers or video equipment are disrupted due to changes in the video output settings or any other reasons, the colors of projected images may be temporarily disrupted.
• The projector accepts video signals, Y/C signals, YCBCR/YPBPR signals, analog RGB signals (synchronization signals are TTL level), and digital signals.
• Some computer models are not compatible with the projector.
• Use a cable compensator when you connect devices to the projector with long cables. If a cable compensator is not used, the image may not display properly.

3D Color Management
In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room. Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management
