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.

English
7
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.
Notice on laser

Prepare for installation
Focus adjustment
The high clarity projection lens is thermally affected by the light from the light source; 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.

Cooling notice
Allow at least 50 cm (19.7 inch) for clearance around the exhaust vent. Make sure no objects block
air inlet within 50 cm (19.7 inch).
Keep the outlet at least 1 m away from the inlets of other projectors.
Air inletAir outlet
• The projector can be installed at following angles:
360-degree projection
Caution:
Installation of the projector should be performed carefully Incomplete or improper installation may cause the projector
to fall, resulting in personal injury or property damage.

English

• Allow at least 50 cm of clearance around the exhaust vent.
• Ensure that the air intake vents do not recycle hot air from the exhaust vent.
• When operating in an enclosed space, make sure that the surrounding air temperature does
not exceed the projector's operating temperature and that the air intake and exhaust vents are
unobstructed.
• All enclosures should pass a certied thermal evaluation to ensure that the projector does
not recycle exhaust air. Recycling exhaust air may cause the projector to shutdown even if the
ambient temperature is within the acceptable operating temperature range.

Connect with projector
When you use a system with multiple projectors, use commercially available M3 stereo mini jack
cables to connect the other projectors via the WIRED REMOTE IN/WIRED REMOTE OUT
terminals.
The remote control is effective even in places where obstacles stand in the light path or where
devices are susceptible to outside light.
Note:
Use two core shielded cables no longer than 15 m (49.2 ft).The remote control may not operate when the length of
the cable exceeds 15 m (49.2 ft) or when it is not properly shielded.
Remote control effective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on the front and rear of the projector. The remote
control must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector's IR remote
control sensor to function correctly. The distance between the remote control and the sensor
should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR sensor on the
projector that might obstruct the infra-red beam.

Replacing the remote control battery
1. To open the battery cover, turn the remote control over to view its back, push on the nger
grip on the cover and slide it up in the direction of the arrow as illustrated. The cover will slide
off.
2. Remove any existing batteries (if necessary) and install two AA batteries observing the battery
polarities as indicated in the base of the battery compartment. Positive (+) goes to positive and
negative (-) goes to negative.
3. Ret the cover by aligning it with the base and sliding it back down into position. Stop when it
clicks into place.

Caution:
• 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 battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never throw a battery into a re. 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.
