Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
For added protection for this television equipment
during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment
due to lightning and power-line surges.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE
NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
An outside antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits, or where it can collide with
such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or
circuits, as contact with them might be fatal.

WARNING
Before Setting Up
Do not place the TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.
?? The TV may fall or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the TV.
??
If water spills onto the Q150 or foreign objects get inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result
in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Q150, please consult an Authorized Dealer.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Q150 to overheat, which can cause fire or damage to the set.
AC Power Supply Cord
The Q150 is designed to operate on 100~240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
?? If the plug is not fully inserted; heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or
the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
?? Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cable. When disconnecting the power cable, hold
the plug, not the cable.
?? Do not make any modifications, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or
forcefully pull the power cable. Doing so may cause damage to the power cable, which can cause fire
or electric shock. If damage to the cable is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center
If the Q150 is not in use for a long p eriod of time, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected
from the Q150, unplug the power cord immediately.
?? Continuous use of the Display under these conditions might cause fire or permanent damage to the unit.
Have the Display evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Services to the Display by any
unauthorized personnel are strongly discouraged due to its dangerous high voltage nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the TV, if the TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged,
disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
?? A short-circuit may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an Authorized Service Center for any repairs
that need to be made.

installed as near to the equipment as possible, and should be easily accessible.
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the LCD TV.
?? Moving the Display with its cables attached might damage the cables, which, in turn, can cause fire or
electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any
cleaning.
?? Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cable regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.
?? Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity, which might damage the insulation and
cause fire.
Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
?? Do not insert any objects or liquids into the unit.
?? Do not expose the unit to water or moisture, or otherwise to the elements
?? Do not open the unit for any reason. Doing so will void the warranty !

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
A 75 -ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 -ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the
cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One
possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained
below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
Basic information and preparations
User’s manual
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the
TV’s channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.
Note:
Consult your BenQ Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be
required.
ANTENNAS
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black &
white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna
systems.
1. A 75 -ohm system is generally a round cable with F-
type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can
be attached to a 75 -ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas.
Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT. terminal on the rear of the TV set.
