⚠️ Ceiling mounting the projector

We want you to have a pleasant experience using your BenQ projector, so we need to bring this safety matter to your attention to prevent possible damage to person and property.

If you intend to mount your projector on the ceiling, we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and that you ensure it is securely and safely installed.

If you use a non-BenQ brand projector ceiling mount kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall from the ceiling due to an improper attachment through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.

You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount 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 ceiling mount bracket. This will perform the secondary role of restraining the projector should its attachment to the mounting bracket become loose.

Operating the LASER pointer

The Laser Pointer is a presentation aid for professionals. It emits red colored light when you press it and the indicator lights up red.

The laser beam is visible. It is necessary to press and hold LASER for continuous output.

Avoid Exposure Laser radiation is emitted from this aperture

Do not look into the laser light window or shine the laser light beam on yourself or others. See the warning messages on the back of the remote control prior to using it.

The laser pointer is not a toy. Parents should be mindful of the dangers of laser energy and keep this remote control out of the reach of children.

Remote control effective range

Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the top of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 8 meters (\~26 feet).

Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensors on the projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control batteries

1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, push on the finger grip on the cover and slide it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. The cover will slide off.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AAA batteries observing the battery polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Refit the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. Stop when it clicks into place.

• Avoid leaving the remote control and batteries in an excessive heat or humid environment like the kitchen, bathroom, sauna, sunroom or in a closed car.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions and local environment regulations for your region.
• Never throw the batteries into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the batteries are dead or if you will not be using the remote control for an extended period of time, remove the batteries to avoid damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.

Positioning your projector Choosing a location

Your projector is designed to be installed in one of four possible installation locations:

1. Front Table

Select this location with the projector placed on the table in front of the screen. This is the most common way to position the projector for quick setup and portability.

Your room layout or personal preference will dictate which installation location you select. Take into consideration the size and position of your screen, the location of a suitable power outlet, as well as the location and distance between the projector and the rest of your equipment.

Obtaining a preferred projected image size

The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the video format each factors in the projected image size.

For example, if you are using an 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 4246 mm and the vertical offset is 137 mm.

If your measured projection distance is 5.0 m (5000 mm), the closest match in the "Distance from screen (mm)" column is 5308 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 150" (about 3.8 m) screen is required.

Projection dimensions

Refer to "Dimensions" on page 69 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector before calculating the appropriate position.

300 76	20 6096	4572 923	1 10615	12000	343

There is 3% tolerance among these numbers due to optical component variations. 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.

Connection

When connecting a signal source to the projector, be sure to:

1. Turn all equipment off before making any connections.
2. Use the correct signal cables for each source.
3. Ensure the cables are firmly inserted.

- In the connections shown below, some cables may not be included with the projector (see "Shipping contents" on page 8). They are commercially available from electronics stores.

- The connection illustrations below are for reference only. The rear connecting jacks available on the projector vary with each projector model.

- Many notebooks do not turn on their external video ports when connected to a projector. Usually a key combo like FN + F3 or CRT/LCD key turns the external display on/off. Locate a function key labeled CRT/LCD or a function key with a monitor symbol on the notebook. Press FN and the labeled function key simultaneously. Refer to your notebook's documentation to find your notebook's key combination.

- The D-Sub output only works when an appropriate D-Sub input is made to the COMPUTER 1 jack.

- If you wish to use this connection method when the projector is in standby mode, make sure the Monitor Out function is turned on in the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu. See "Standby Settings" on page 58 for details.

Connecting video source devices

You need only connect the projector to a video source device using just one of the connecting methods, however each provides a different level of video quality. The method you choose will most likely depend upon the availability of matching terminals on both the projector and the video source device as described below:

Terminal name Terminal appearance Picture quality
HDMI		Best
Component Video		Better
S-Video		Good
Video		Normal

Connecting audio

The projector has two built-in mono speakers which are designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. They are not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theater or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speakers.

The built-in speaker will be muted when the AUDIO OUT jack is connected.

- In the unlikely event that you connect the projector to a DVD player via the projector's HDMI input and the projected picture displays wrong colors, please change the color space to YUV. See "Changing Color Space" on page 26 for details.

- The projector is only capable of playing mixed mono audio, even if a stereo audio input is connected. See "Connecting audio" on page 17 for details.

- If the selected video image is not displayed after the projector is turned on and the correct video source has been selected, check that the video source device is turned on and operating correctly. Also check that the signal cables have been connected correctly.

Playing sound through the projector

You can make use of the projector (mixed mono) speaker in your presentations, and also connect separate amplified speakers to the AUDIO OUT socket of the projector.

If you have a separate sound system, you will most likely want to connect the audio output of your Video source device to that sound system, instead of to the mono audio projector.

You can also use a microphone to output the sound through the projector speaker.

Once connected, the audio can be controlled by the projector On-Screen Display (OSD) menus. See "Audio Settings" on page 57 for details.

The table below describes the connection methods for different devices, and where the sound is from.

Device	PC/Component Video	Video/S-Video Microphone
Audio input port	AUDIO IN 1 AUDIO	IN 2 (L/R)	MIC
The projector can play the sound from...	AUDIO IN 1/MIC AUDIO	IN 2 (L/R)/MIC	• MIC• AUDIO IN 1/MIC• AUDIO IN 2 (L/R)/MIC
Audio output port	AUDIO OUT AUDIO	OUT AUDIO OUT
The selected input signal determines which sound will be played by the projector speaker, and which sound will be output from the projector when AUDIO OUT is connected. If you select a PC signal, the projector can play the sound received from AUDIO IN 1/MIC.

About the microphone input

• If you wish to use a microphone, connect a 3.5 mini jack cable microphone to the projector.
• You can use a wireless microphone as long as a wireless module is attached to the projector's microphone input jack and it works well with the associated devices. To ensure a quality use of the wireless microphone, it is recommended that your microphone conforms to the specifications listed in the table below.

Signal	Parameter	Min	Type	Max
Microphone	Transducer Principle				Dynamic
	Impedance	300		1K	ohm
	Frequency response	600		16k	Hz

- There are two ways to adjust microphone volumes.

• Directly set microphone volume levels in the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Audio Settings > Microphone Volume menu or press MIC/VOL keys (+/-) on the remote control.
• Set projector volume levels in the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Audio Settings > Volume menu, or press VOLUME+/VOLUME- on the remote control. (The projector volume setting will affect the microphone volume.)

- To make the microphone input available when the projector is in standby mode, turn on the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Standby Settings > Microphone menu.

- If the microphone is not working, check the volume setting and cable connection.

- You might get feedback noise from the microphone when you are too close to the speaker of the projector. Move the microphone away from the speaker of the projector. The greater volume you require, the greater distance you need to be away from the speaker to prevent the noise.

Adjusting Brightness

The higher the value, the brighter the image. And the lower the setting, the darker the image. Adjust this control so the black areas of the image appear just as black and that detail in the dark areas is visible.

Three grayscale images of the Arc de Triomphe in different lighting conditions (30, 50, 70 µm scale), no text or symbols present.

Adjusting 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.

Three black-and-white photos of the Aden Pyramid of the Americas, each with a scale bar indicating -30, 0, and +30 (no text or symbols on the structures themselves)

Adjusting 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.

Adjusting Tint

The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the more greenish the picture becomes.

Adjusting Sharpness

The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the picture becomes.

Adjusting 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. If you don't need it, select Off.

When Off is selected, the Color Temperature function is not available.

Selecting a color temperature

The options available for color temperature* settings vary according to the signal type selected.

1. T1: With the highest color temperature, T1 makes the image appear the most bluish white than other settings.

2. T2: Makes images appear bluish white.

3. T3: Maintains normal colorings for white.

4. T4: Makes images appear reddish white.

*About color temperatures:

There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes. One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the "color temperature". A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

3D Color Management

In most installation situations, color management will not be necessary, such as in classroom, meeting room, or lounge room situations where lights remain on, or where building external windows allow daylight into the room.

Only in permanent installations with controlled lighting levels such as boardrooms, lecture theaters, or home theaters, should color management be considered. Color management provides fine color control adjustment to allow for more accurate color reproduction, should you require it.

Proper color management can only be achieved under controlled and reproducible viewing conditions. You will need to use a colorimeter (color light meter), and provide a set of suitable source images to measure color reproduction. These tools are not provided with the projector, however, your projector supplier should be able to provide you with suitable guidance, or even an experienced professional installer.

The Color Management 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.

If you have purchased a test disc which contains various color test patterns and can be used to test the color presentation on monitors, TVs, projectors, etc, you can project any image from the disc on the screen and enter the 3D Color Management menu to make adjustments.

To adjust the settings:

1. Go to the PICTURE menu and highlight 3D Color Management.
2. Press MODE/ENTER on the projector or remote control and the 3D Color Management page displays.
3. Highlight Primary Color and press ◀/▶ to select a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
4. Press ▼ to highlight Hue and press ◀/▶ to select its range. Increase in the range will include colors consisted of more proportions of its two adjacent colors.

Please refer to the illustration to the right 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.

1. Press to Highlight Saturation and adjust its values to your preference by pressing ▶. ▶ 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.

1. Press ▼ to highlight Gain and adjust its values to your preference by pressing ◀/▶. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will reflect to the image immediately.

2. Repeat steps 3 to 6 for other color adjustments.

3. Make sure you have made all of the desired adjustments.

4. Press MENU/EXIT to exit and save the settings.

Maintenance

Care of the projector

Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is to keep the lens and case clean.

Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts need replacing.

Cleaning the lens

Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface.

• Use a canister of compressed air to remove dust.
• If there is dirt or smears, use lens-cleaning paper or moisten a soft cloth with lens cleaner and 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.

Cleaning the projector case

Before you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 50 and unplug the power cord.

• To remove dirt or dust, wipe the case with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• To remove stubborn dirt or stains, moisten a soft cloth with water and a neutral pH detergent. Then wipe the case.

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 follow the instructions below:

• Make sure the temperature and humidity of the storage area are within the recommended range for the projector. Please refer to "Specifications" on page 68 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. When you carry the projector yourself, please use the original box or provided soft carry case.

Lamp information

Getting to know the lamp hour

When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer.

See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.

To obtain the lamp hour information:

1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press ◀/▶ to highlight the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu.
2. Press ▼ to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.
3. You will see the Equivalent Lamp Hour information displaying on the menu.
4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
   You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.

Extending lamp life

The projection lamp is a consumable item that normally can last up to 3000-4000 hours with proper usage. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.

- Setting Lamp Mode as Economic

Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.

Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode menu and press 🔊 ▶

- Setting Auto Power Off

This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input signal is detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.

To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings > Auto Power Off menu and press 🔍. The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

Timing of replacing the lamp

When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.

Go to http://lamp.benq.com for a replacement lamp.

The LAMP indicator light and TEMperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn the power off and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. If the Lamp or Temp indicator still lights up after turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See "Indicators" on page 66 for details.

The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.

Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508

BenQ's commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in making accessible technology choices. BenQ's LCD monitors and projectors are compliant with Section 508 guidelines by including the assistive features as below:

• BenQ's monitors have colored "Power" indicators. While the indicator shows green, it means that the monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows yellow or amber, it means that the monitor is in suspend or sleep mode and is using less than 2 watts of electricity.
• BenQ's monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free timing to make the screen shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default timing setting is automatically turned on every time the monitor is powered up, and thus reduces the hassle of user intervention.
• BenQ's monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast adjustments that text and images could be displayed differently to meet the demands of the visually impaired. Other similar adjustments are also available by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls on the products.
• BenQ's monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as color temperature selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K, 6500K, 7500K and 9300K), with a wide range of contrast levels.
• BenQ's multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers for audio performance which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact with the computer systems connected. Speaker controls are typically located on the front-panel.
• Firmware of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain unique product information that helps computer systems to identify BenQ products and activate their Plug-and-Play function when connected.
• All BenQ's monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard. For example, connectors are color-coded to help users easily connecting products to computer systems correctly.
• Some models of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain additional USB and DVI ports for connection to more devices such as a special headphone to assist the hearing impaired.
• All BenQ monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs which could be easily read by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a connected computer system. These documents are also available on the BenQ's web site (www.BenQ.com). Other types of documents may be available upon requests.
• BenQ's customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through phone calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
