Remote control effective range
Only use the remote control provided with the projector. Do not use the remote
control included in the QS02 Android TV dongle packaging. The remote control
must be held at an angle within 30 degrees perpendicular to the projector’s IR
remote control sensor(s) to function correctly. The distance between the
remote control and the sensor(s) should not exceed 8 meters (~ 26 feet). Make
sure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the IR
sensor(s) on the projector that might obstruct the infrared beam.
Positioning your projector
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting, and the
video format each factor in the projected image size.
Projection dimensions
- The screen aspect ratio is 16:9 and the projected picture is in a 16:9 aspect ratio
Image size|
Projection distance (mm)
|
Vertical offset (mm)
---|---|---
Diagonal| W (mm)| H (mm)
Inch| mm
70| 1778| 1550| 872| 103| 196
80| 2032| 1771| 996| 159| 224
82| 2083| 1815| 1021| 170| 230
90| 2286| 1992| 1121| 214| 252
100| 2540| 2214| 1245| 269| 280
For example, if you are using a 100-inch screen, the recommended projection distance is 269 mm. If your measured projection distance is 230 mm, the closest match in the “Projection distance (mm)” column is 214 mm. Looking across this row shows that a 90” (about 2.3 m) screen is required.
- All measurements are approximate and may vary from the actual sizes. BenQ recommends that if you intend to permanently install the projector, you should physically test the projection size and distance using the actual projector in situ before you permanently install it, so as to make allowance for this projector’s optical characteristics. This will help you determine the exact mounting position so that it best suits your installation location. The distance between the ambient light reflection screen and the projector should also be considered during installation.
Adjusting the projected image
Adjusting the projection angle
If the projector is not placed on a flat surface or the screen and the
projector are not perpendicular to each other, the projected image becomes
trapezoidal. You can rotate the adjuster feet to fine-tune the image. To
retract the feet, rotate the adjuster feet in a reverse direction.
- Do not look into the lens while the light source is on. The strong light from the light source may cause damage to your eyes.
Fine-tuning the image clarity
- Press the focus button on the remote control to open the Manual Focus menu and then use left/right to adjust the focus settings.
- You can also access the Manual Focus menu from the Installation > Screen Adjustment menu in the Advanced Settings menu.

| Advanced Color Temperature Tuning
Advanced color temperature is used for fine-tuning White Balance from the bright parts to the dark parts of the video by different brightness levels which are divided into 11 points signal levels (%). Users can adjust the intensity of Red/Green/Blue in the range of 0 – 200 for the color temperature of selected points at different brightness levels.
---|---
Color Management
This function provides seven sets ( R/G/B/C/M/Y and White Balance ) of colors to be adjusted. When you select each color, you can independently adjust its range and saturation according to your preference.
• Primary Color : Select a color from among Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, or Magenta.
• Hue : An increase in the range will include colors consisting of more proportions of its two adjacent
colors. Please refer to the illustration for how the
colors relate to each other.
For example, if you select Red and set its range at 0, only pure red in the projected picture will be selected.
Increasing its range will include red close to yellow
and red close to magenta.
• Saturation : Adjust the values to your preference.
Every adjustment made will be reflected in the image immediately. For example, if you select Red and set its value at 0, only the saturation of pure red will be affected.
Saturation is the amount of that color in a video picture. Lower settings produce less saturated colors; a setting of “0” removes that color from the image entirely. If the saturation is too high, that color will be overpowering and unrealistic.
• Gain : Adjust the values to your preference. The contrast level of the primary color you select will be affected. Every adjustment made will be reflected in the image immediately.
• White Balance
Adjusts the color temperature of white.
• R Gain / G Gain / B Gain : Adjusts the contrast levels of Red, Green, and Blue.
• Reset
All of the adjustments you’ve done for the Color Management menu return to the factory preset values.

Maintenance
Care of the projector
Cleaning the lens
Clean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. Please be sure
to turn off the projector and let it cool down completely before cleaning the
lens.
- 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.
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 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 the Specifications on page 48 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.
Light source information
Getting to know the light source hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of light source
usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of
calculating the equivalent light source hour is as follows: Light Source Usage
Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in ECO mode) + (hours used in
SmartEco mode) Total (equivalent) light source hour = 1.0 x (hours used in
Normal mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in ECO mode) + 1.0 x (hours used in SmartEco
mode)
For time used in each light source mode shown in the OSD menu:
- Time used is accumulated and rounded down to an integer in hours.
- When the time used is less than 1 hour, it shows 0 hours.
When you calculate Equivalent Light source hour manually, it will probably have a deviation from the value shown in the OSD menu since the projector system calculates the time used for each light source mode in “Minutes” and then rounds down to an integer in hours shown in OSD.
To obtain the light source hour information: Go to System > Light Source Information and press OK. The Light Source Usage Time information is displayed. You can also get the light source hour information on the Information > Light Source Usage Time menu.
Extending light source life
Setting the Light Source Mode Go to Picture > Advanced Color Setting > Light Source Mode and press OK. Select a suitable light source power from among the provided modes. Setting the projector in ECO or SmartEco mode extends light source life.
