Important safety instructions
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 this manual and marked on the product.
1.Please read this manual 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 lamp is on.
5.The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement.
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 lamp, use the blank function.
8.Do not operate lamps beyond the rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps beyond the rated life could cause them to break on rare occasions.
4 Important safety instructions
9.Never replace the lamp assembly or any electronic components unless the projector is unplugged.
10.Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.
11.Do not attempt to disassemble this projector. There are dangerous high voltages inside which may cause death if you should come into contact with live parts. The only user serviceable part is the lamp which has its own removable cover.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
12.Do not block the ventilation holes.
-Do not place this projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.
-Do not cover this projector with a cloth or any other item.
-Do not place inflammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire.
13.Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
-Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10 degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15 degrees front to back. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal may cause a malfunction of, or damage to, the lamp.
14.Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
15.Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
16.When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.

18.This product is capable of displaying inverted images for ceiling/wall mount installation.
20.Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
-Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and free flow of air around the projector.
-Locations where temperatures may become excessively high, such as the inside of a car with all windows rolled up.
-Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shorten the projector's life span and darken the image.
-Locations near fire alarms

For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 3478 mm.
12 Positioning your projector
If your measured projection distance is 5000 mm, the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)" column is 4946 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 170'' (about 4.3 m) screen is required.
• 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.
•To optimize your projection quality, we suggest doing the projection by following the values in the non-gray cells.
•The values in the gray cells are for reference only.

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