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.
- Please read this manual before you operate your projector. Save it for future reference.
- Do not look straight at the projector lens during operation. The intense light beam may damage your eyes.
- Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
- Always open the lens shutter (if any) or remove the lens cap (if any) when the projector light source is on.
- The light source becomes extremely hot during operation.
- 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 fluctuate or cut out, it is recommended that you connect your projector through a power stabilizer, surge protector or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
- 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 fire.
- Do not operate light sources beyond the rated light source life.
- Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The product may fall, sustaining serious damage.
- 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 light source which has its own removable cover.
Under no circumstances should you ever undo or remove any other covers.
Refer servicing only to suitably qualified professional service personnel.
- 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 inflammables near the projector.
If the ventilation holes are seriously obstructed, overheating inside the projector may result in a fire. - Always place the projector on a level, horizontal surface during operation.
– 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. Using the projector when it is not fully horizontal may cause a malfunction of, or damage to, the light source. - Do not stand the projector on end vertically. Doing so may cause the projector to fall over, causing injury or resulting in damage to the projector.
- 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.
- When the projector is under operation, you may sense some heated air and odor from its ventilation grill. It is a normal phenomenon and not a product defect.
- 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 power outlet and call BenQ to have the projector serviced.
- This apparatus must be earthed.
- Do not place this 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 rolled up.
– Locations where excessive humidity, dust, or cigarette smoke may contaminate optical components, shorten the projector’s life span and darken the image.
– Locations near fire alarms
– Locations with an ambient temperature above 40°C/104°F
– Locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet).
To avoid damaging the DLP chips, never aim a high-power laser beam into the projection lens.
Notice
To ensure safe use of this product, please read the user manual for details before you operate your projector.
