For example, if you are using a 120-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 2019 mm.
• If your measured projection distance is 2300 mm, the closest match in the
column is 2355 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 140'' (about 3.6 m) screen is required.
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.
Positioning your projector 13
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/wall 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.

14 Positioning your 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 screw 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.
Positioning your projector 15
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.
Fine-tuning the image size and clarity
Adjust the projected image to the size that you need using the zoom ring.
Sharpen the image by rotating the focus ring.

High Altitude
Mode
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.
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.
Password
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
