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 the user manual / installation guide and marked on the product.

1. Please read the user manual / installation guide before you operate your projector. Save
it for future reference.

2. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may
damage your eyes.

3. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

4. Always open the lens shutter (if any) or remove the lens cap (if any) when the
projector light source is on.

5. The light source becomes extremely hot during operation.

6. 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 fluctuate or cut out, it is

recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge
protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

7. 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 fire. To temporarily turn
off the light source, use the blank function.

8. Do not operate light sources beyond the rated light source life.

9. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining

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.

• Ceiling installation must be done by a qualified professional. Contact your dealer for more information. It is not
recommended you install the projector yourself.

• Only use the projector on a solid, level surface. Serious injury and damage can occur if the projector is dropped.

• Do not use the projector in an environment where extreme temperature occurs. The projector must be used at
temperatures between 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees
Celsius).

• Screen damage will occur if the projector is exposed to moisture, dust or smoke.

• Do not cover the vents on the projector. Proper ventilation is required to dissipate heat. Damage to the projector
will occur if the vents are covered.

15 Installation

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.

• BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate security cable and attach it securely to both the
security bar on the projector and the base of the mounting bracket. This will perform the secondary
role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

• 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 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.

Shifting the projection lens

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.

• Lens shift adjustment will not result in a degraded picture quality.

• Please stop turning the adjustment knob when you hear a clicking sound indicating that the knob has reached its
limit. Over-turning the knob may cause damage.

Before connecting, carefully read the operating instructions for connecting the external device. When
connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.

2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.

3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

20 Connection

• In the connections above, some cables may not be included with the projector (see Shipping contents on page 6).
They are commercially available from electronics stores.

• The connection illustrations are for reference only.

• 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 first and then insert the connecting terminal of the connecting device.

• Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo
like FN + function key with a monitor symbol turns the external display on/off. Press FN and the labeled function
key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

• If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been
selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables
have been connected correctly.

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods,
however each provides a different level of video quality.

This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant
colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality,
select On.
When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Color Temperature

There are several preset color temperature settings available. The available settings
may vary according to the signal type selected.

Color Management

This function provides six sets (RGBCMY) of colors to be adjusted. When you
select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according
to your preference.

• Primary Color: Selects a color from among R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue), C
(Cyan), M (Magenta), or Y (Yellow).

• Hue: Increase in the range will include colors
consisted of more proportions of its two
adjacent colors. Please refer to the illustration
for how the colors relate to each other.
For example, if you select Red and set its range
at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will
be selected. Increasing its range will include red
close to yellow and red close to magenta.

• Saturation: Adjusts the values to your
preference. Every adjustment made will reflect to
the image immediately. For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0,
only the saturation of pure red will be affected.

Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated
colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that
color will be overpowering and unrealistic.

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 26 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 45 or consult your dealer about the range.

Getting to know the light source 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 source hour is as follows:

Light Source Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) +
(hours used in Dimming mode) + (hours used in Custom mode)

Total (equivalent) light source hour = 1.0 x (hours used in Normal mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in
Economic mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Dimming mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in Custom mode)

To obtain the light source hour information:

1. Go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Light Source Settings and press OK. The Light Source
Settings page appears.

2. Press to select Light Source Information and press OK. The Light Source Information
is displayed.

You can also get the light source hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
