    Maintenance
    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 and case 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 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.
    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 66 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 89 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:
    Total (equivalent) lamp hour
    = 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)
    See Setting Lamp Mode as Economic below for more information on Economic mode.
    The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode. That is, using the 
    projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.
    To obtain the lamp hour information:
    1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press  /  until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced 
    menu is highlighted.
    2. Press  to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp 
    Settings page displays.
    3. You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.
    4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.
    You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.
    Extending lamp life
    The projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do 
    the following settings via the OSD menu.
    Setting Lamp Mode as Economic
    Using Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the 
    Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker 
    projected pictures.
    Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set 
    Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > 
    Lamp Mode menu and press  / .
    Setting Auto Power Off
    This function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected 
    after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.
    To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings >Auto Power 
    Off menu and press  / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute 
    increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The 
    projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.

    Timing of replacing the lamp
    When the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the 
    lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in 
    the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.
    The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too 
    hot. See Indicators on page 87 for details.
    The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.
    The warning messages below are for reference only. Please follow the actual on-screen 
    instructions to prepare and replace the lamp.
    StatusMessage
    Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If the 
    projector is normally run with Economic selected 
    (see Getting to know the lamp hour on page 82), 
    you may continue to operate the projector until the 
    next lamp warning appears.
    Press ENTER to dismiss the message.
    It is strongly recommended that you replace the 
    lamp at this stage. The lamp is a consumable item. 
    The lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is a 
    normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp 
    whenever you notice that the brightness level has 
    significantly diminished.
    Press ENTER to dismiss the message.
    The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector 
    will operate normally.
    Press ENTER to dismiss the message.

    Replacing the lamp
    • Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See 
    www.lamprecycle.org.
    • If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the 
    ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or 
    damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.
    • To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power 
    cord before changing the lamp.   
    • To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before 
    replacing the lamp.
    • To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution 
    when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.
    • To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the 
    lens, do not touch the empty lamp comparent when the lamp is removed.
    • This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of 
    this lamp in a proper manner.
    • To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a 
    BenQ projector lamp for lamp replacement.
    1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. If the lamp 
    is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.
    2. Loosen the screw on the lamp cover.

    							Maintenance 85 3. Remove the lamp cover by (a) sliding 
    the cover toward the side of the 
    projector and (b) lifting it off.
    • Do not turn the power on with the lamp 
    cover removed.
    • Do not insert your fingers between the 
    lamp and the projector. The sharp edges 
    inside the projector may cause injuries.
    4. Loosen the screws that secure the 
    lamp.
    5. Lift the handle so that it stands up. Use 
    the handle to slowly pull the lamp out 
    of the projector.
    • Pulling it too quickly may cause the lamp to 
    break and scatter broken glass in the 
    projector.
    • Do not place the lamp in locations where 
    water might splash on it, children can reach 
    it, or near flammable materials.
    • Do not insert your hands into the projector 
    after the lamp is removed. If you touch the 
    optical components inside, it could cause 
    color unevenness and distortion of the 
    projected images.
    6. Insert the new lamp into the lamp 
    comparent and make sure it fits in the 
    projector.
