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.
General safety instruction
1. Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may
damage your eyes.
2. Always open the lens shutter or remove the lens cap when the projector light source is on.
3. 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 uctuate or cut out, it is recommended
that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible
power supply (UPS).
4. 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 re. To
temporarily turn off the light source, press BLANK on the remote control.
5. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining
serious damage.
6. 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.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers. Refer servicing
only to suitably qualied professional service personnel.
7. Do not place this projector in any of the following environments.
• Space that is poorly ventilated or conned. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and
free ow 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 re alarms
• Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C / 104°F
• Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).
8. 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 inammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in
a re.

9. Do not step on the projector or place any objects upon it. Besides probable physical damage
to the projector, doing so may result in accidents and possible injury.
10. Do not place liquids near or on the projector. Liquids spilled into the projector may cause it to
fail. If the projector does become wet, disconnect it from the power supply's wall socket and
call BenQ to have the projector serviced.
Do not remove
This equipment has a three-pin grounding-type power plug. Do not
remove the grounding pin. As a safety feature, this plug will only t a
grounding-type power outlet. If you are unable to t the plug into the
outlet, contact an electrician.

Prepare for installation
Caution for installation
1. If the projector and lens were purchased separately, remove the anti-dust cap before use and
store it for future use. When transporting the projector, move the lens to the home position,
remove the lens, and attach the anti-dust cap.
Anti-dust cap
2. When the projector is not in use, attach the lens cover supplied with the projector or the
projection lens.
Lens cover
Focus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the bulb; thus, the focus
is unstable for a short period immediately after the power is turned on. Please wait at least 15
minutes of continuous projection before adjusting the focus.
