Important safety instructions
Your BenQ 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.

Caution

To prevent shock, do not open the cabinet. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector lamp is on.
Please read this users manual before you operate your projector. Save this users manual for future reference.
Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
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).

Safety Instructions

1. The lamp becomes extremely hot during operation. Allow the projector to cool for approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the lamp assembly for replacement. 4. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.
5. 2. 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.

Remote control effective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensors are located on the front and the back of the projector. The remote control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees of the projectors IR remote control sensors to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensors should not exceed 6 meters (~ 20 feet). Operating the projector from the front Operating the projector from the rear

Approx. 15

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 battery

1. 2. 3.

Pull out the battery holder. Insert the new battery in the holder. Note the positive polarity should face outward. Push the holder into the remote control until it clicks into place.
Avoid excessive heat and humidity. There may be battery damage if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer. Dispose of the used battery according to the manufacturers instructions. Never throw a battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion. If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to prevent 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. Floor in front of screen; 2. Ceiling in front of screen; 3. Floor at rear of screen; 4. Ceiling at rear of screen. 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.
If you use the projector with wireless function, there's no need to worry about data cable connections.This gives you the flexibility to site the projector anywhere in the room up to a range of 20m away from your notebook, and switch between presentations on different notebooks instantly without fiddling with cables To use the wireless function, you need to install a BenQ wireless module to the projector and enable your notebook/desktop PC with wireless connection. For more information, refer to "Wireless connection (optional)" on page 18.

I. Floor front

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

II. Ceiling front

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling in front of the screen. Purchase the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit from your dealer to mount your projector on the ceiling. Set in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on.

III. Floor rear

Select this location with the projector placed near the floor behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen is required. Set in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on.

IV. Ceiling rear

Select this location with the projector suspended upside-down from the ceiling behind the screen. Note that a special rear projection screen and the BenQ Projector Ceiling Mounting Kit are required for this installation location. Set in the Advance > Mirror menu after you turn the projector on.
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. The maximum (native) resolution of the projector is 1024 x 768 pixels, which is a 4 to 3 aspect ratio (expressed as 4:3). To be able to project a complete 16:9 (widescreen) aspect ratio image, the projector can resize and scale a widescreen image to the projector's native aspect width. This will result in a proportionally smaller height equivalent to 75% of the projector's native aspect height.
4:3 aspect image in a 4:3 aspect display area
16:9 aspect image scaled to a 4:3 aspect display area
Thus, a 16:9 aspect image will not utilize 25% of the height of a 4:3 aspect image displayed by this projector. This will be seen as darkened (unlit) bars along the top and bottom (vertical 12.5% height respectively) of the 4:3 projection display area whenever displaying a scaled 16:9 aspect image in the vertical centre of the 4:3 projection display area. When determining the position of your projector, you should consider its intended use and input signal aspect ratios. All inputs (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9 aspect signal) will display in a 4:3 aspect ratio (and will require an additional 33% display height than that of the scaled 16:9 aspect image projection area).
IMPORTANT: Do not select a permanent projector position based upon a 16:9 projection if you will ever need to select an input (other than composite Video being fed a 16:9 aspect signal).
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and positioned directly perpendicular (90 right-angle square) to the horizontal centre of the screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto angled surfaces). The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. This is so that they can be readily placed on a table and will project forward and upwards onto a screen positioned so that the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room can see the screen). If the projector is mounted on a ceiling, it must be mounted upside-down so that it projects at a slightly downward angle. You can see from the diagram on page 17, that this type of projection causes the bottom edge of the projected image to be vertically offset from the horizontal plane of the projector. When ceiling mounted, this refers to the top edge of the projected image. If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately. When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are directly proportional to the projection distance. BenQ has provided a table of 4:3-aspect-ratio screen sizes to assist you in determining the ideal location for your projector. There are two dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the centre of the screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

Connecting Video source devices
This section describes how to connect the projector to Video source devices using video cables. Video cable connections are recommended for Video presentations.
This projector also supports data (graphic) "PC" connection using Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connection is not recommended for Video presentations. See "Wireless connection (optional)" on page 18.
You can connect your projector to various Video source devices that provide any one of the following output sockets: Component Video S-Video Video (composite) You need only connect the projector to a Video source device using just one of the above 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:

Best video quality

The best available video connection method is Component Video (not to be confused with composite Video). Digital TV tuner and DVD players output Component Video natively, so if available on your devices, this should be your connection method of choice in preference to (composite) Video. See "Connecting a Component Video source device" on page 22 for how to connect the projector to a component video device.

Better video quality

The S-Video method provides a better quality analog video than standard composite Video. If you have both composite Video and S-Video output terminals on your Video source device, you should elect to use the S-Video option. See "Connecting an S-Video source device" on page 23 for how to connect the projector to an S-Video device.

Least video quality

Composite Video is an analog video and will result in a perfectly acceptable, but less than optimal result from your projector, being the least video quality of the available methods described here. See "Connecting a composite Video source device" on page 24 for how to connect the projector to a composite Video device.

Connecting Audio

The projector has a built-in mono speaker which is designed to provide basic audio functionality accompanying data presentations for business purposes only. It is not designed for, nor intended for stereo audio reproduction use as might be expected in home theatre or home cinema applications. Any stereo audio input (if provided), is mixed into a common mono audio output through the projector speaker. If you wish, 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. The audio output is a mixed mono signal and controlled by the projector Volume and Mute settings. 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. Connection 21

Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause damage to your eyes. Be careful when you press the adjuster button as it is close to the exhaust vent where hot air comes from.
Screw the rear adjuster foot to fine tune the horizontal angle.
To retract the foot, hold up the projector while pressing the front adjuster button, then slowly lower the projector. Screw the rear adjuster foot in a reverse direction.
If the screen and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes vertically trapezoidal. To correct this situation, adjust the value of Keystone in the Picture menu, on the projector control panel, or on the remote control. Refer to "Correcting keystone" on page 28 for details.

Auto-adjusting the image

In some cases, you may need to optimize the picture quality. To do this, press Auto on the control panel of the projector or on the remote control. Within 3 seconds, the built-in Intelligent Auto Adjustment function will re-adjust the values of Frequency and Clock to provide the best picture quality. The current source information will be displayed at the bottom right of the screen for 3 seconds.
The screen will be blank while Auto is functioning.
Fine-tuning the image size and clarity
1. Adjust the projected image to the size that you need using the zoom ring. 2. Then sharpen the image by rotating the focus ring.

Correcting keystone

Keystoning refers to the situation where the projected image is noticeably wider at either the top or bottom. It occurs when the projector is not perpendicular to the screen. To correct this, besides adjusting the height of the projector, you will need to manually correct it following ONE of these steps. 1.

Then a second message as pictured below displays to warn of shutdown in 1 minute.
Please re-attach the filter cap Otherwise, Power is going to shut down in 1 minute
You can re-attach the case correctly anytime before the projector shuts down. (That means you have 10-11 minutes to get the re-attachment done from the time the first warning message was displayed.) The projector will return to normal operation.
How to replace the filter sponge:
If you find the dirt is hard to remove from the filter sponge or the sponge is broken, replace it. 1. Carefully peel the filter sponge away from the filter case. See that there are small plastic pins along the edges to position and retain the sponge into place. Lift the sponge up off these pins taking care to prevent them from breaking off. Attach the supplied new filter sponge to the filter case. Make sure that the tiny holes securely fit onto the cases pins.

Plastic pins

Lamp information

Calculation of 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: Total (equivalent) lamp hour = hours used in Economic mode + hours used in normal mode
See "Economic Mode (off)" on page 38 for more information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in normal mode. That is, using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/4.

Warning message

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. For more detailed information on projector warnings, please refer to "Indicators" on page 47.
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.
The following Lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.

Safety instructions for ceiling mounting of your BenQ 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 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.

Troubleshooting

THE PROJECTOR DOES NOT TURN ON.
There is no power from the power cable. Attempting to turn the projector on again during the cooling process.

Remedy

Plug the power cord into the AC inlet on the projector, and plug the power cord into the power outlet. If the power outlet has a switch, make sure that it is switched on. Wait until the cooling down process has completed.

NO PICTURE

The video source is not turned on or connected correctly. The projector is not correctly connected to the input source device. The input signal has not been correctly selected. The lens cap is still attached to the lens.
Turn the video source on and check that the signal cable is connected correctly. Check the connection. Select the correct input signal with the Source key on the projector or remote control. Remove the lens cap.
