6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your BenQ ScreenBar Pro, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the surface of the light bar and the clamp. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or spray cleaners directly on the device, as they may damage the finish or electronic components.
• Cable Care: Ensure the USB-C cable is not bent sharply or placed under heavy objects, which could damage the cable or its connection.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the ScreenBar Pro in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BenQ ScreenBar Pro, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Light Not Turning On:
  • Check if the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the ScreenBar Pro and the power source (AC adapter or powered USB-C port).
  • Ensure the AC power adapter is properly plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • If using a monitor's USB-C port, confirm it provides sufficient power (5V DC, 3A).
• Controls Unresponsive:
  • Ensure your fingers are clean and dry when using the touch controls.
  • Try unplugging and re-plugging the power cable to reset the device.
• Motion Sensor Not Working:
  • Verify that the presence detection function is enabled via the touch control.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the sensor's view.
  • The sensor detects movement within a 24"±4" (60cm±10cm) range directly in front of the screen.
• Glare on Screen:
  • Adjust the angle of the lamp head to ensure the light is directed onto your desktop and not onto the screen. The asymmetrical optics are designed to prevent this, but proper positioning is key.
