4 Important safety instructions
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.
5 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.
6 Important safety instructions
17. Do not place liquids near or on the projector.
Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it
to fail. If the projector does become wet,
disconnect it from the power supply's power
outlet and call BenQ to have the projector
serviced.
18. This product is capable of displaying inverted
images for ceiling/wall mount installation.
19. This apparatus must be earthed.
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
- Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C /
104°F
- Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m
(10000 feet).

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.
• Consider the surrounding temperature where the projector is ceiling/wall mounted. If a heater is used,
the temperature around the ceiling 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.

Contrast
The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this to set the peak white level
after you have previously adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected input
and viewing environment.
Color
Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on
the image will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic.
Sharpness The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes.
Brilliant Color
This feature utilizes a new color-processing algorithm and system level
enhancements to enable higher brightness while providing truer, more vibrant
colors in picture. It enables a greater than 50% brightness increase in mid-tone
images, which are common in video and natural scenes, so the projector
reproduces images in realistic and true colors. If you prefer images with that quality,
select On.
When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Color Temperature
There are several preset color temperature settings available. The available settings
may vary according to the signal type selected.
• Normal: Maintains normal colorings for white.
• Cool: Makes images appear bluish white.
• Warm: Makes images appear reddish white.
Color Temperature Tuning
You can also set a preferred color temperature by adjusting the following options.
• R Gain/G Gain/B Gain: Adjusts the contrast levels of Red, Green, and Blue.
• R Offset/G Offset/B Offset: Adjusts the brightness levels of Red, Green,
and Blue.
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.
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.

High Altitude Mode
We recommend you use the High Altitude Mode when your environment is
between 1500 m –3000 m above sea level, and ambient temperature is between
0°C–30°C.
Operation under "High Altitude Mode" may cause a higher decibel operating
noise level because of increased fan speed necessary to improve overall system
cooling and performance.
If you use this projector under other extreme conditions excluding the above, it
may display auto shut-down symptoms, which is designed to protect your projector
from over-heating. In cases like this, you should switch to High Altitude mode to
solve these symptoms. However, this is not to state that this projector can operate
under any and all harsh or extreme conditions.
