Important safety instructions
In order to prevent potential dangers and prolong the service life of the TV,
please observe the following points when installing, operating and cleaning
the TV.
If wall mounting, have a qualified
and experienced technician
mount it safely. Use only a
recommended wall bracket
(optional accessory) for this TV
and ensure that the bracket is
securely screw fixed to the wall
structure, and not just the wall
render, lining or cladding. Do not
just glue the bracket to the wall.
Ensure the bracket is level
horizontally.
Do NOT place the TV near water,
like a spa or pool, or in a position
which will allow the splashing or
spraying of water onto the
display, like in front of an open
window where rain water may
enter.
Do NOT place the TV near or
above sources of heat, such as
radiators, heaters, fuel stoves and
other heat-generating items
(including audio amplifiers).
Otherwise heat may cause
damages to the outer casing as
well as the components inside.
If wall mounting, allow
appropriate space on top for
attaching the TV to the wall
bracket.
If recessed into a wall opening,
you must leave appropriate free
space both top and bottom for
mounting and removing the TV.
Do NOT cover or block the vents
and openings while the TV is
switched on, as the heat may
accumulate inside the TV and
result in danger.
This TV has no power switch.
When installing the TV,
incorporate a readily accessible
disconnect device in the fixed
wiring, or connect the power cord
to socket-outlet which must be
provided near the TV and easily
accessible. If a fault should occur
during operation of the unit,
operate the disconnect device to
switch the power supply off, or
disconnect the power cord.
Do NOT place the TV in direct
sun or where direct sun or spot
lighting will shine onto the TV, as
the heat may damage the TV and
the bright light will make viewing
the TV more difficult than
necessary.
Do NOT place the TV on an
uneven, sloping or unstable
surface (such as a trolley) where it
may fall and cause damage to
itself or others. Have a qualified
technician secure the TV where it
is placed in case there is an
earthquake.
Do NOT place the TV in an
enclosed place without allowing
for ventilation.
All Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
screens have a very thin protective
layer of glass which is liable to
marking or scratching, and
cracking if struck or pressured.
The liquid crystal substrate is also
liable to damage under excessive
force or extreme temperatures.
Please handle with care.
English
Observe all warnings and
cautions as labelled on the TV.
Important safety instructions 1
• Only use the power cord supplied with the TV. Never use a power cord which
appears damaged or frayed, or change the plug type on the power cord.
Improper use of the power cord may result in electrical shock or fire.
• The supplied power cord is suitable for use with 100-240V AC power only.
• This TV should be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing
connection.
• Only use an appropriate power cord for your region. Never use a power cord
which appears damaged or frayed, or change the plug type on the power cord.
• Be aware of the total loading when using extension cords or multiple outlet
power boards.
• This TV has no power switch. When installing the TV, incorporate a readily
accessible disconnect device in the fixed wiring, or connect the power cord to
socket-outlet which must be provided near the TV and easily accessible. If a
fault should occur during operation of the unit, operate the disconnect device to
switch the power supply off, or disconnect the power cord.
• WARNING: This TV has been engineered and manufactured with the highest
priority on safety, however, IMPROPER HANDLING OR USE CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. Please handle this TV with
English
care. If damaged, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the TV.
Transport the TV to your nearest BenQ authorized service centre for repair.
• There are no user serviceable parts in this TV. Never unscrew or remove any
covers. There are dangerous voltages inside. Turn off the power and unplug the
power cord before moving the TV.
Care and cleaning information
• Always turn off and disconnect the TV from the mains power before cleaning.
• Do NOT use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp
well wrung-out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft cloth and lightly wipe the TV.
• If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish-washing detergent diluted with
water on a separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe
over again with a clean dry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.
• Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a
few non-active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed point of color. Please
note that this does not affect the performance of your product as it is usually
not visible at normal viewing distances.
• If the TV is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when
you are going away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged
from the wall outlet. You should also consider removing the batteries from
the remote control (as they may leak).

Getting to know your TV
This LCD TV is a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital display device. It has a
built-in analog TV tuner which can be used to view standard definition analog
television (TV or ATV), cable television (CATV), or radio frequency (RF)
modulated video through its coaxial TV tuner input jack.
However, the high display quality of a widescreen LCD TV isn’t realized
through analog TV. The highest possible quality display is only possible from
high definition digital video sources like High Definition TV (HDTV) and
Blu-ray DVD. See "Connecting audio and video inputs" on page 8 for more
information about the supported signal types and how to make connections.

Remote control usage tips
• Point and aim the top front of the
remote control directly at the TV when
pressing the buttons.
• The remote control must be held at an
angle within 30 degrees of the TV's
remote control sensor window to
function correctly. The distance
between the remote control and the
sensors should not exceed 7 meters.
• Do not cover the sensor window on the front of the TV, or place objects in
front of it which will block the direct line-of-sight between the remote
control and the sensor window on TV.
• Do not let the remote control become wet, or place it in humid environments
English
(like bathrooms.)
• If the remote control sensor window on the TV is in direct sunlight or strong
light, the remote control may not operate properly. In this situation, change the
light source or readjust the angle of your TV, or operate the remote control from
a location closer to the remote control sensor window on the TV.
Battery safety notice
The use of the wrong type of batteries may cause chemical leaks or explosion.
Please note the following:
• Always ensure that the batteries are inserted with the positive and negative
terminals in the correct direction as shown in the battery compartment.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix
different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries will shorten
battery life or cause chemical leaks from the old batteries.
• When batteries fail to function, replace them immediately.
• Chemicals which leak from batteries may cause skin irritation. If any
chemical matter seeps out of the batteries, wipe it up immediately using a dry
cloth, and replace the batteries as soon as possible.
• Due to varying storage conditions, the battery life for the batteries included
with your TV may be shortened. Replace them within 3 months or as soon as
you can after initial use.
