Contact your dealer if other parts need replacing.Cleaning the lensClean the lens whenever you notice dirt or dust on the surface. • 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.Never rub the lens with abrasive materials.Cleaning the projector caseBefore you clean the case, turn the projector off using the proper shutdown procedure as described in "Shutting down the projector" on page 75 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 projectorIf 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 "Specifications" on page 98 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 projectorIt is recommended that you ship the projector with its original packing or equivalent.
Maintenance 91Lamp informationGetting to know the lamp hourWhen the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as follows:Total (equivalent) lamp hour= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)See "Setting Lamp Mode as Economic" below for more information on Economic mode.The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode. That is, using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.To obtain the lamp hour information:1. Press MENU/EXIT and then press / until the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced menu is highlighted.2. Press to highlight Lamp Settings and press MODE/ENTER. The Lamp Settings page displays.3. You will see the Equivalent lamp hour information displaying on the menu.4. To leave the menu, press MENU/EXIT.You can also get the lamp hour information on the INFORMATION menu.Extending lamp lifeThe projection lamp is a consumable item. To keep the lamp life as long as possible, you can do the following settings via the OSD menu.Setting Lamp Mode as EconomicUsing Economic mode reduces system noise and power consumption by 20%. If the Economic mode is selected, the light output will be reduced and result in darker projected pictures.Setting the projector in Economic mode also extends the lamp operation life. To set Economic mode, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Advanced > Lamp Settings > Lamp Mode menu and press / .Setting Auto Power OffThis function allows the projector to turn off automatically if no input source is detected after a set period of time to prevent unnecessary waste of lamp life.To set Auto Power Off, go into the SYSTEM SETUP: Basic > Operation Settings >Auto Power Off menu and press / . The time period can be set from 5 to 30 minutes in 5-minute increments. If the preset time lengths are not suitable for your presentation, select Disable. The projector will not automatically shut down in a certain time period.
Maintenance92Timing of replacing the lampWhen the Lamp indicator lights up red or a message appears suggesting it is time to replace the lamp, please install a new lamp or consult your dealer. An old lamp may cause a malfunction in the projector and in some instances the lamp may explode.The Lamp indicator light and Temperature warning light will light up if the lamp becomes too hot. See "Indicators" on page 96 for details.The following lamp warning displays will remind you to change the lamp.The warning messages below are for reference only. Please follow the actual on-screen instructions to prepare and replace the lamp.Status MessageInstall a new lamp for optimal performance. If the projector is normally run with Economic selected (see "Getting to know the lamp hour" on page 91), you may continue to operate the projector until the next lamp warning appears.Press ENTER to dismiss the message.It is strongly recommended that you replace the lamp at this stage. The lamp is a consumable item. The lamp brightness diminishes with use. This is a normal lamp behavior. You can replace the lamp whenever you notice that the brightness level has significantly diminished.Press ENTER to dismiss the message.The lamp MUST be replaced before the projector will operate normally.Press ENTER to dismiss the message.
Maintenance 93Replacing the lamp• Hg - Lamp contains mercury. Manage in accordance with local disposal laws. See www.lamprecycle.org.• If lamp replacement is performed while the projector is suspended upside-down from the ceiling, make sure that no one is underneath the lamp socket to avoid any possible injury or damage to the human eyes caused by fractured lamp.• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn the projector off and disconnect the power cord before changing the lamp. • To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp.• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has shattered into sharp pieces.• To reduce the risk of injuries to fingers and/or compromising image quality by touching the lens, do not touch the empty lamp comparent when the lamp is removed.• This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations to dispose of this lamp in a proper manner.• To assure optimal performance from the projector, it is recommended that you purchase a BenQ projector lamp for lamp replacement.1. Turn the power off and disconnect the projector from the power outlet. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting for approximately 45 minutes until the lamp has cooled.2. Loosen the screw on the lamp cover.
Maintenance943. Remove the lamp cover by (a) sliding the cover toward the side of the projector and (b) lifting it off.• Do not turn the power on with the lamp cover removed.• Do not insert your fingers between the lamp and the projector. The sharp edges inside the projector may cause injuries.4. Loosen the screws that secure the lamp.5. Lift the handle so that it stands up.
