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.
Safety Instructions
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 or
remove the lens cap when the
projector lamp is on.
5. 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).
Important safety instructions4
Safety Instructions
6. 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, press
BLANK on the projector or remote
control.
7. The lamp becomes extremely hot
during operation. Allow the projector
to cool for approximately 45 minutes
prior to removing the lamp assembly
for replacement.
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.
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.
Important safety instructions 5
Safety Instructions (Continued)
12. 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.
13. 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,
shortening the projector's life span
and darkening 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).
14. 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.
15. 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.

projector does become wet,
disconnect it from the power supply's
wall socket and call BenQ to have the
projector serviced.
19. This product is capable of displaying
inverted images for ceiling mount
installation.
Use only BenQ's Ceiling Mount Kit for
mounting the projector and ensure it is
securely installed.
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.
Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage
in accordance with local disposal laws.

Positioning your projector24
There is 5% 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 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.

About the aspect ratio
In the pictures below, the black portions are inactive areas and the white portions are active
areas. OSD menus can be displayed on those unused black areas.
1. Auto: Scales an image
proportionally to fit the projector's
native resolution in its horizontal
width. This is suitable for the
incoming image which is neither in
4:3 nor 16:9 and you want to make
most use of the screen without
altering the image's aspect ratio.
2. Real: The image is projected as its
original resolution, and resized to fit
within the display area. For input
signals with lower resolutions, the
projected image will display smaller
than if resized to full screen. You
could adjust the zoom setting or
move the projector away from the
screen to increase the image size if
necessary. You may also need to
refocus the projector after making
these adjustments.
3. 4:3: Scales an image so that it is
displayed in the center of the screen
with a 4:3 aspect ratio. This is most
suitable for 4:3 images like
computer monitors, standard
definition TV and 4:3 images aspect
DVD movies, as it displays them
without aspect alteration.
4. 16:9: Scales an image so that it is
displayed in the center of the screen
with a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is
most suitable for images which are
already in a 16:9 aspect, like high
definition TV, as it displays them
without aspect alteration.
5. 16:10: Scales an image so that it is
displayed in the center of the screen
with a 16:10 aspect ratio. This is
most suitable for images which are
already in a 16:10 aspect, as it
displays them without aspect
alteration.

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

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. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as
follows:
Lamp hour = Total lamp hour
= X*(hours used in Normal mode) + Y*(hours used in Eco mode)
X = lamp life spec of LampSave /lamp life spec of Normal mode
Y = lamp life spec of LampSave /lamp life spec of Eco mode
See "Setting Lamp mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Press MENU and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu
is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press ENTER. The Lamp Settings page
displays.
3. You will see the Lamp Information information displaying on the menu.
