14 Positioning your projector

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

Ceiling/Wall mount screw hole: M4 x 8 mm

Unit: mm

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 Kensington lock compatible security cable and attach it securely to both the Kensington lock slot 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/wall mounted. If a heater is used, the temperature around the ceiling/wall 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.

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.

Reset Picture

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.

• Gain: Adjusts the values to your preference. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

If you selected W, you can modify the color temperature of white by adjusting the red/green/blue gain.

A’ is the longest light life spec among X, Y, Z.

For time used in each light source 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 source mode in “Minutes” then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.

To obtain the light source hour information:

1. Go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Light Usage Time and press OK.

2. The Light Usage Time information is displayed. You can also get the light source hour information on the Information menu.

Extending light source life

• Setting the Light Mode Go to Advanced Menu - Picture > Advanced Color Settings > Light Mode and select a suitable

light source power from among the provided modes. Setting the projector in ECO or SmartEco mode extends light source life.

Light mode Description

Normal Provides full light source brightness ECO Lowers brightness to extend the light source life and decreases the fan noise

SmartEco

• Setting Auto Power Off This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a

set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of light source life. To set Auto Power Off, go to Advanced Menu - Settings > Operation Settings > Power On/Off

Settings > Auto Power Off and press / .

Adjusts the light source power automatically depending on the content brightness level while optimizing display quality

Troubleshooting

The projector does not turn on.

Cause Remedy

There is no power from the power cord.

Attempting to turn the projector on again during the cooling process.

No picture

Cause Remedy

Plug the power cord into the AC power jack on the projector, and plug the power cord into the power outlet. If the power outlet has a switch, make sure that it is switched on.

Wait until the cooling down process has completed.

The video source is not turned on or connected correctly.

The projector is not correctly connected to the input signal device.

The input signal has not been correctly selected.

Turn the video source on and check that the signal cable is connected correctly.

Check the connection.

Select the correct input signal with the SOURCE key.

Blurred image

Cause Remedy

The projection lens is not correctly focused. Adjust the focus of the lens using the focus ring. The projector and the screen are not aligned

properly. The lens cover is still closed (if there is one). Open the lens cover (if there is one).

Adjust the projection angle and direction as well as the height of the projector if necessary.

Abnormal image

Cause Remedy

• Ensure the video source cable is connected properly, and that the video source is turned on.

The image is abnormal.

• Ensure that the air intake or exhaust is not blocked.

Remote control does not work.

Cause Remedy

The batteries are out of power. Replace both of the batteries with new ones. There is an obstacle between the remote

control and the projector. You are too far away from the projector. Stand within 8 meters (26 feet) of the projector.

Remove the obstacle.

The password is incorrect.

Cause Remedy

You do not remember the password.
