For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance in the "Average"
column is 3436 mm.
If your measured projection distance is 3700 mm, the closest match in the "Average" column is 3723
mm. Looking across this row shows that a 130'' (about 3.3 m) screen is required.
To optimize your projection quality, we suggest to do the projection within non-gray area.
All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes.
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.
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.

Adjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle
If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen
and the projector are not perpendicular to each other, the
projected image becomes trapezoidal. You can adjust the
adjuster feet to fine-tune the horizontal angle.
To retract the feet, screw the adjuster feet in a reverse
direction.
Do not look into the lens while the lamp is on. The strong light from the lamp may cause damage to your eyes.
Auto-adjusting the image
In some cases, you may need to optimize the picture quality. To do this, press AUTO. 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 in the corner of the screen for 3 seconds.
This function is only available when PC signal (analog RGB) is selected.

• Saturation: Adjusts the values to your preference. Every
BLUE
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.
Advanced
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.
Noise Reduction
Reduces electrical image noise caused by different media players. The higher the
value, the less the noise.
Brilliant Color
This function 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.
Fast Mode
Minimizing the response time (one frame) between the source input and the image
output, this mode will enhance the controlling experience.
When using Fast Mode:
• In order to have minimized response time, Keystone, Overscan, and Digital Lens Shift

Quick Cooling
Select On enables the function and projector cooling time will be shortened from a
normal 90-second duration to approximately 15 seconds.
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.
High Altitude
Mode
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.
Do not use the High Altitude Mode if your altitude is between 0 m and 1500 m and ambient
temperature is between 0°C and 35°C. The projector will be over cooled, if you turn the mode on
under such a condition.
For security purposes and to prevent unauthorized use, you may set up password
security for the projector. See Utilizing the password function for details.

Maintenance
Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure to turn off the projector
and let it cool down completely before cleaning the lens.
• 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 23 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 48 or consult your dealer about the range.
• Retract the adjuster feet.
• Remove the battery 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.

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:
1. Light Usage Time = (x+y+z+a) hours, if:
Time used in Normal mode = x hours
Time used in Economic mode = y hours
Time used in SmartEco mode = z hours
Time used in LampSave mode = a hours
2. Equivalent Lamp Hour = α hours
A'
A'
A'
A'
α = ---- × χ + ---- × y + ---- × z + ---- × a
X
Y
Z
A
, if
X= lamp life spec of Normal mode
Y= lamp life spec of Economic mode
Z= lamp life spec of SmartEco mode
A= lamp life spec of LampSave mode
A’ is the longest lamp life spec among X, Y, Z, A
When you calculate Equivalent Light Usage hour manually, it will probably have deviation from the value shown in
OSD menu since projector system calculates time used for each light mode in “Minutes” then rounds down to an
integer in hours shown in OSD.
For time used in each light mode shown in OSD menu:
• Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in hours.
• When time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.
To obtain the lamp hour information:
1. Go to Advanced Menu - System Setup : Advanced > Light Settings and press OK. The
Light Settings page appears.
2. Press to select Light Usage Time and press OK. The Light Usage Time information is
displayed.
You can also get the Light Usage Time information on the Information menu.

Timing of replacing the lamp
When the LIGHT indicator lights up or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp,
please consult your dealer or go to http://www.BenQ.com before installing a new lamp. An old lamp
may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the light may explode.
• The apparent brightness of the projected image will vary depending on the ambient lighting conditions, selected
input signal contrast/brightness settings, and is directly proportional to projection distance.
• The lamp brightness will decline over time and may vary within the lamp manufacturers specifications. This is
normal and expected behavior.
• The LIGHT 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 Light or Temp indicator still lights up after
turning the power back on, please contact your dealer. See Indicators on page 46.
