Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property. If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed. If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws. You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount kit from the place you purchased your BenQ projector. BenQ recommends that you also purchase a separate Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot on the projector and the base of the ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Installing dust filter covers

Be sure to install the dust filter covers before using the projector.

1. Complete the installation of dust filter covers on the two sides of the projector as the illustration.

2. Turn on the projector, then press “MENU/EXIT”, go to the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings > Fan Speed and select High.

3. Clean the dust filters periodically.

The dust filters should be cleaned or replaced periodically (suggest after every 500 hours or 3 months of use). If they are not cleaned periodically, they can become clogged with dust and prevent the projector from being ventilated properly. This can cause over heating and damage the projector. If the projector is used in a dusty environment, be sure to cleaned or replaced the dust filters more frequently.

display requirements.

About the aspect ratio

1. Auto: Scales an image proportionally to fit the projector's native resolution in its horizontal or vertical width. This is suitable for the incoming image which is neither in 4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make most use of the screen without altering the image's aspect ratio.

Real: The image is projected as its original resolution, and resized to fit within the

display area. For input signals with lower resolutions, the projected image will display smaller than if resized to full screen. You could adjust the zoom setting or move the projector towards the screen to increase the image size if necessary. You may also need to refocus the projector after making these adjustments.

3. 4:3: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for 4:3 images like computer monitors, standard definition TV and 4:3 aspect DVD movies, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

4. 16:9: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:9 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them without aspect alteration.

5. 16:10: Scales an image so that it is displayed in the center of the screen with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is most suitable for images which are already in a 16:10 aspect, like high definition TV, as it displays them with out aspect alteration.

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 provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management 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.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc. You can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1. Go to the PICTURE menu and select 3D Color Management.

2. Press MODE/ENTER and the 3D Color Management page displays.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is to keep the lens and case clean.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

• 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.

Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.

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 44 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 63 or consult your dealer about the range.

• Retract the adjuster feet.

• Remove the battery from the remote control.

• Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

Light source information

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:

Total (equivalent) light source hour= 20/9 * (hours used in Normal mode) + 5/3 * (hours used in Eco mode) + 20/13 * (hours used in SmartEco)

See "Setting Light Source Mode" below for details.

The light source hour in Economic and SmartEco is calculated shorter of that in Normal mode. That is, using the projector in Economic or SmartEco mode helps to extend the light source hour.

To obtain the light source hour information:

1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced

menu is highlighted.

2. Press to select Light Source Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Light

Source Settings page displays.

3. You will see the Equivalent light source information displaying on the menu.

4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.

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

Extending light source life

The projection light source is a consumable item. To keep the light source life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu or remote control.

Setting Light Source Mode

Using a different light source mode will reduce system noise and power consumption. If the Economic/SmartEco mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures, the projector protected for longer working life.

Setting the projector in a different light source mode also extends the light source operation life. To set Economic/SmartEco

Saves 25% light source power consumption.

Saves up to 70% light source power consumption depending on the content brightness level.

Setting Auto Power Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of light source life.

To s e t Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Auto Power Off menu and press / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.
