      Important safety instructions
    Important safety instructions
    Your projector is designed and tested to meet the la test standards for safety of information technology 
    equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this prod uct, it is important that you follow the instructions 
    mentioned in this manual and marked on the product.
    1. Please read this user manual before you operate your 
    projector.  Keep this manual in a safe place for future 
    reference. 
    2. Always place the projector on a level, horizontal  surface during operation.
    - Do not place the projector on an unstable cart, stand, or table as it may fall and be damaged.
    - Do not place inflammables near the projector. 
    - Do not use if tilted at an angle of more than 10  degrees left to right, nor at angle of more than 15 
    degrees front to back.
    3. Do not store the projector on end vertically. Doing so  may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or 
    resulting in damage.  4. Do not place the projector in any of the 
    following environments:
    - Space that is poorly ventilated or confined. Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls 
    and free flow of air around the projector.
    - Locations where temperatures may  become excessively high, such as the inside 
    of a car with all windows closed.
    - Locations where excessive humidity, dust,  or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical 
    components, shorten the projector’s 
    lifespan and darken the screen.
    - Locations near fire alarms.
    - Locations with an ambient temperature  above 35°C/95°F.
    - Locations where the altitudes are higher  than 3000 m (10000 feet).
    3000 m 
    (10000 ft.)
    0 m 
    (0 ft.) 
    						
    							4 Important safety instructions  
    5. Do not block the vents while the projector is on 
    (even in standby mode).
    - Do not cover the projector with any item.
    - Do not place the projector on a blanket, bedding or any other soft surface.  9. Do not look straight into the projector lens 
    during operation. It may harm your sight. 
    6. In areas where the mains power supply voltage  may fluctuate by ±10 volts, it is recommended 
    that you connect the projector through a power 
    stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible 
    power supply (UPS) as appropriate to your 
    situation.   10. Do not operate the projector lamp beyond the 
    rated lamp life. Excessive operation of lamps 
    beyond the rated life could cause a lamp to break 
    on rare occasions.
    7. Do not step on the projector or place any objects  upon it. 11. The lamp becomes extremely hot during 
    operation. Allow the projector to cool for 
    approximately 45 minutes prior to removing the 
    lamp assembly for replacement.
    8. Do not place liquids near or on the projector.  Liquids spilled into the projector will void your 
    warranty. If the projector does become wet, 
    disconnect it from the power outlet and contact 
    BenQ to have the projector repaired. 12. Never attempt to replace the lamp assembly until 
    the projector has cooled down and is unplugged 
    from the power supply.

      Important safety instructions
    13. This projector is capable of displaying inverted 
    images for ceiling mount installation. Use only 
    BenQs Ceiling Mount Kit for mounting.
    Ceiling mounting the projector
    If you intend to mount your  projector on the ceiling, 
    we strongly recommend that you use a proper fitting 
    BenQ projector ceiling mount kit and ensure it is 
    securely and safely installed.
    If you use a non-BenQ br and projector ceiling mount 
    kit, there is a safety risk that the projector may fall 
    from the ceiling due to an improper attachment 
    through the use of the wrong gauge or length screws.
    You can purchase a BenQ projector ceiling mount 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 Ke nsington lock slot on the 
    projector and the base of  the ceiling mount bracket. 
    This will perform the seconda ry role of restraining 
    the projector should its attachment to the mounting 
    bracket become loose.
    14. 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. The only user serviceable part is 
    the lamp. See page  47.
    Under no circumstances should you ever undo or 
    remove any other covers. Refer servicing only to 
    suitably qualified professional service personnel.
    Please keep the origin al packing for possible 
    future shipment. If you need to pack your 
    projector after use, adjust the projection lens to 
    an appropriate position , put the lens cushion 
    around the lens, and fit the lens cushion and 
    projector cushion together to prevent damage 
    during transportation.
    15. When you think service or repair is required,  take the projector only to a suitably qualified 
    technician.
    Moisture condensation
    Never operate the projector immediately after 
    moving it from a cold lo cation to a hot location. 
    When the projector is exposed to such a change 
    in temperature, moisture may condense on the 
    crucial internal parts. To prevent the projector 
    from possible damage, do not use the projector 
    for at least 2 hours when there is a sudden change 
    in temperature.
    Avoid volatile liquids
    Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide or 
    certain types of cleaner,  near the projector. Do 
    not have rubber or plastic products touching the 
    projector for a long time. They will leave marks on 
    the finish. If cleaning with a chemically treated 
    cloth, be sure to follow the cleaning product’s 
    safety instructions.
    Disposal
    This product contains the following materials 
    which are harmful to human bodies and
