Care of the projector
Your projector needs little maintenance. The only thing you need to do on a regular basis is 
to keep the lens clean.
Never remove any parts of the projector except the lamp. Contact your dealer if other parts 
need replacing.
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. 
• 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 rub the lens with abrasive materials.
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 33 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.

Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section
508
BenQ’s commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in making 
accessible technology choices BenQ’s LCD monitors and projectors are compliant with 
Section 508 guidelines by including the assistive features as below:
• BenQ’s monitors have colored “Power” indicators. While the indicator shows green, it means that 
the monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows yellow or amber, it means that the 
monitor is in suspend or sleep mode and is using less than 2 watts of electricity.
• BenQ’s monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free timing to make the 
screen shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default timing setting is automatically turned 
on every time the monitor is powered up, and thus reduces the hassle of user intervention.
• BenQ’s monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast adjustments that text 
and images could be displayed differently to meet the demands of the visually impaired.  Other 
similar adjustments are also available by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls on the 
products.
• BenQ’s monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as color temperature 
selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K, 6500K, 7500K and 9300K), with 
a wide range of contrast levels.
• BenQ’s multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers for audio 
performance which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact with the computer 
systems connected. Speaker controls are typically located on the front-panel. 
• Firmware of BenQ’s monitors and projectors contain unique product information that helps 
computer systems to identify BenQ products and activate their Plug-and-Play function when 
connected.
• All BenQ’s monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard. For example, 
connectors are color-coded to help users easily connecting products to computer systems 
correctly.
• Some models of  BenQ’s monitors and projectors contain additional USB and DVI ports for 
connection to more devices such as a special headphone to assist the hearing impaired.
• All BenQ monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs which could be 
easily read by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a connected computer system.  
These documents are also available on the BenQ’s web site (www.BenQ.com ).  Other types of documents may be available upon requests.
• BenQ’s customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through phone 
calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
