To replace the lamp: 1) Turn off and unplug the projector, wait at least 30 minutes for cooling. 2) Open the lamp cover on the bottom. 3) Loosen the screws on the lamp module, lift the handle, and pull out the old lamp. 4) Insert the new lamp (avoid touching the glass), tighten screws, close cover, and reconnect power. Reset the lamp timer via the SERVICE menu.
How often should I clean the filters and how?
Clean the air filters every 500 hours of use, or more frequently in dusty environments. To clean: 1) Turn off and unplug the projector. 2) Slide out the filter holders (left side, rear, and bottom). 3) Remove the foam and replace with a new one (or wash if reusable). 4) Press the foam firmly into the holder and slide back in. Reset the filter timer in the SERVICE menu.
How do I adjust the lens shift?
Press the LENS SHIFT button on the remote control to enter lens adjustment mode. Use the arrow buttons to shift the image vertically or horizontally. Press ENTER to switch between focus/zoom and shift. Alternatively, use the Lens Control menu under INSTALLATION.
How do I connect the projector to a network for remote control?
Go to the INSTALLATION menu, then Network Settings. Set DHCP to On (or manually enter IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway). Select Apply to save. Then open a web browser on a device connected to the same network and enter the projector's IP address to access the control page. You can also use Crestron or PJLink.
How do I set up 3D projection?
Ensure the input signal supports 3D (e.g., HDMI 1.4). In the SETUP menu, select 3D. Choose the correct 3D Format (Auto, Side by Side, Top/Bottom, or Frame Sequential). Enable DLP Link sync. If the 3D image appears reversed, use 3D Swap to invert left/right. For 24Hz content, you can select 96Hz or 144Hz refresh.
How do I correct keystone distortion?
In the SETUP menu, select Keystone. Use the arrow buttons to adjust V Keystone (vertical) and H Keystone (horizontal) until the image is rectangular. Note that excessive keystone correction may reduce image quality.
The remote control isn't working. What should I do?
Check the batteries: replace if depleted, ensure correct polarity. Ensure the remote is within 7 meters and within 30° of the IR sensor. Remove any obstacles between remote and projector. Turn off fluorescent lights. If using wired remote, check the cable connection. If still not working, try resetting the projector or contact service.
How do I lock the projector to prevent unauthorized use?
In the SETUP > Advanced menu, enable Security Lock to set a 4-digit PIN. Once set, the projector will require the PIN to operate. You can also lock the control panel via Panel Key Lock. For physical security, use a Kensington lock.
How do I turn the projector on and off properly?
To turn on: Switch the main power to ON, then press the POWER button on the projector or ON on the remote. Wait for the Power LED to turn solid green. To turn off: Press POWER, then confirm by pressing again. The fans will run to cool down; do not unplug until the fans stop and the Power LED turns orange. Then switch off the main power.
No image appears on screen. What can I do?
Verify that the projector is on (green LED). Check that the lens cap is removed. Ensure the correct input source is selected. Confirm all cables are securely connected. If using a laptop, ensure it is set to output to an external display (e.g., press Fn + F4). Press the AUTO button to resync. If still no image, try a different source or cable.

Care of the projector

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you have to do on a regular basis is keep the lens clean. Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer or local customer service center if the projector fails to operate as expected.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Before you attempt to clean the lens, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust. (Available from building hardware or photographic suppliers.)

If there is stubborn dirt or smudge marks, use a proper photographic lens brush or moisten a clean soft lens cloth with lens cleaner to gently wipe the lens surface.

Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in damage to the projector surface and cabinet material.

BENQ PU953 - Cleaning the lens - 1

Never touch the lens with your finger or rub the lens with abrasive materials. Even paper towels can damage the lens coating. Only ever use a proper photographic lens brush, cloth, and cleaning solution. Do not attempt to clean the lens while the projector is switched on or is still hot from previous use. Be sure to turn off the projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you attempt to clean the case, turn the projector off, unplug the power cable, and leave it several minutes to cool completely.

To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral detergent. Then wipe the case.

BENQ PU953 - Cleaning the projector case - 1

Never use wax, alcohol, benzene, thinner or other chemical detergents. These can damage the case.

Storing the projector

If you need to store the projector for an extended time, please:

  • Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector. Please refer to “Specifications” on page 62 in this manual or consult your dealer about the range.
  • Retract the adjuster feet.
  • Remove the batteries from the remote control.

- Pack the projector in its original packing or equivalent.

Transporting the projector

It is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.

Replacing the lamp

The projection lamps should be replaced when they burn out. They should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, contact your local dealer if unsure.

!

  • Lamps are positioned differently. Take care not to force the lamps when replacing.
  • Installation of both lamp modules (Lamp 1 and Lamp 2) is required to operate the projector in dual or single lamp mode. If only a single lamp module is installed, the projector's lamp will not turn on and will appear as a lamp failure.

!

  • The lamp contains a certain amount of mercury and should be disposed of according to local ordinance regulations.
  • Avoid touching the glass surface of the new lamp: doing so may shorten its operation life.

#

Lamp Handling Precautions

  • This projector uses a high-pressure lamp which must be handled carefully and properly. Improper handling may result in accidents, injury, or create a fire hazard.
  • Lamp life may differ from lamp to lamp and according to the environment of use. There is no guarantee of the same life for each lamp. Some lamps may fail or terminate their life in a shorter period of time than other similar lamps.
  • If the projector indicates that the lamp should be replaced, i.e., if LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 light up, replace the lamp with a new one IMMEDIATELY after the projector has cooled down. (Follow carefully the instructions in the Lamp Replacement section of this manual.) Continuous use of the lamp with LAMP 1 and/or LAMP 2 lighted may increase the risk of lamp explosion.
  • A lamp may explode as a result of vibration, shock or degradation as a result of hours of use as its lifetime draws to an end. Risk of explosion may differ according to the environment or conditions in which the projector and lamp are being used.
  • If a lamp explodes, the following safety precautions should be taken:
  • Disconnect the projector's AC plug from the AC outlet immediately. Contact an authorized service station for a checkup of the unit and replacement of the lamp. Additionally, check carefully to ensure that there are no broken shards or pieces of glass around the projector or coming out from the cooling air circulation holes. Any broken shards found should be cleaned up carefully. No one should check the inside of the projector except those who are authorized trained technicians and who are familiar with projector service. Inappropriate attempts to service the unit by anyone, especially those who are not appropriately trained to do so, may result in an accident or injury caused by pieces of broken glass.
  • The projection lamp should be replaced when it burns out. It should only be replaced with a certified replacement part, which you can order from your local dealer.

!

  • Be sure to turn off and unplug the projector at least 30 minutes before replacing the lamp. Failure to do so could result in a severe burn.
  • Safety glasses should be worn when replacing the lamp while the projector is ceiling mounted.

Removing the used lamp

  1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. Turn off all connected equipment and disconnect all other cables.
