Starting up the projector

1.

Plug the power cord into the projector and into a wall
socket. Turn on the wall socket switch (where fitted).

2.

Press the main power switch to the I position.
Check that the Power indicator on the projector lights
orange after power has been applied.

3.

Remove the lens cap.
If it is left on, it could become deformed due to the
heat produced by the projection lamp.

4.

Press and hold (for 2 seconds)

on the projector or

remote control to start the projector.
The Power indicator light flashes green and stays green
when the projector is on.
The start up procedure takes about 30 seconds after

pressing

. In the later stage of start up, a default

BenQ logo is projected.
(If necessary) Rotate the focus ring to adjust the
picture clearness.

If the projector is still hot from
previous activity, it will run
the cooling fans for
approximately 90 seconds
before energizing the lamp.

5.

If you are prompted for a password, press the arrow
keys to enter a six digit password.

See

"Utilizing the password

function" on page 32

for

details.

6.

Switch all of the connected equipment on.
The projector will start to search for input sources.
The current input source being scanned displays in the
lower right corner of the screen. If the projector
doesn't detect a valid signal, the searching message will
continue displaying until an input source signal is
found.
You can also press SOURCE on the projector or
remote control to display the signal selection bar and
switch between different signals. See

"Switching input

source" on page 35

for details.

If the frequency/resolution of
the input source exceeds the
projector's operating range,
you will see the message 'Out
of Range' displayed on a
blank screen. Please change
to an input source which is
compatible with the
projector's resolution or set
the input source to a lower
setting. See

"Timing chart" on

page 77

for details.
