Remote control effective range
Infra-Red (IR) remote control sensor is located on
the front of the projector. The remote control must
be held at an angle within 15 degrees perpendicular
to the projector's IR remote control sensor to
function correctly. The distance between the remote
control and the sensor should not exceed 7 meters
(~ 23 feet).
Make sure that there are no obstacles between the
remote control and the IR sensor on the projector
that might obstruct the infra-red beam.
Replacing the remote control battery
1. Pull out the battery holder.
Please follow the illustrated instructions. Push and hold
the locking arm while pulling out the battery holder.
2. Insert the new battery in the holder. Note the
positive polarity should face outward.
3. Push the holder into the remote control.
• Avoid excessive heat and humidity.
• There may be battery damage if the battery is
incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the battery manufacturer.
• Dispose of the used battery according to the battery manufacturer’s instructions.
• Never throw battery into a fire. There may be danger of an explosion.
• If the battery is dead or if you do not plan to use the remote control for a long time, remove
the battery to prevent damage to the remote control from possible battery leakage.

Positioning your projector
Obtaining a preferred projected image size
The distance from the projector lens to the screen, the zoom setting (if available), and the
video format each factors in the projected image size.
16:10 is the native aspect ratio of this projector.
The projector should always be placed horizontally level (like flat on a table), and
positioned directly perpendicular (90° right-angle square) to the horizontal center of the
screen. This prevents image distortion caused by angled projections (or projecting onto
angled surfaces).
The modern digital projector does not project directly forward (like older style reel-to-
reel film projectors did). Instead, digital projectors are designed to project at a slightly
upward angle above the horizontal plane of the projector. The projector can be readily
placed on a table, and the position of its projection will be forward and upward on a screen
so the bottom edge of the screen is above the level of the table (and everyone in the room
can see the screen).
If the projector is positioned further away from the screen, the projected image size
increases, and the vertical offset also increases proportionately.
When determining the position of the screen and projector, you will need to account for
both the projected image size and the vertical offset dimension, which are proportional to
the projection distance.
BenQ has provided a table of screen size to assist you in determining the ideal location for
your projector. Refer to "Projection dimensions" on page 15 for details. There are two
dimensions to consider, the perpendicular horizontal distance from the center of the
screen (projection distance), and the vertical offset height of the projector from the
horizontal edge of the screen (offset).

Projection dimensions
Refer to "Dimensions" on page 83 for the center of lens dimensions of this projector
before calculating the appropriate position.
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.

Adjusting Contrast
The higher the value, the greater the contrast. Use this
to set the peak white level after you have previously
adjusted the Brightness setting to suit your selected
input and viewing environment.
Adjusting Color
Lower setting produces less saturated colors. If the setting is too high, colors on the image
will be overpowering, which makes the image unrealistic. Color is only adjustable under
analog video sources such as composite video and component video sources.
Adjusting Tint
The higher the value, the more reddish the picture becomes. The lower the value, the
more greenish the picture becomes. Tint is only adjustable under video and S-video
sources with video signal in NTSC or SECAM format.
Adjusting Sharpness
The higher the value, the sharper the picture becomes. The lower the value, the softer the
picture becomes. Sharpness is only adjustable under analog video sources such as
composite video and component video sources.
Selecting a Color Temperature
There are a number of options available for color temperature* settings which vary
according to the signal type selected.
*About color temperatures:
There are many different shades that are considered to be "white" for various purposes.
One of the common methods of representing white color is known as the “color
temperature”. A white color with a low color temperature appears to be reddish white. A
white color with a high color temperature appears to have more blue in it.

Frequently Asked Questions
• Q: Why does my CPU become busier after launching the BenQ EZ
QPresenter 2.0?
• A: BenQ EZ QPresenter 2.0 counts on your PC CPU to encode the screen images to
reduce the data that needs to be transferred to the receiver. Hence there will be some
overhead to your PC. In general, for 4+ ranking PCs, it would need up to 30% of CPU
overhead to perform wireless display.
• Q: Why can’t I project my screen?
• A: BenQ EZ QPresenter 2.0 needs to access the network connection at some point.
As a result, when your Anti-virus or network security software prompts you for
permission to allow the sender software to access the network, please grant access to
proceed, or choose “add rule” to the fire wall settings.
• Q: Why does my display frame rate slow down?
• A: BenQ EZ QPresenter 2.0 needs to encode display content while sending massive
real-time data to the projector.
i. PC: A dual core PC (excluding Atom processors) or Mac is required to encode
the screen images at 30FPS (Frame Per Second) speed. However, if you would
like to increase the FPS speed, you can:
a. Use better media players, such as GOM player
b. Close all unused apps
c. Use a faster PC with Windows Experience Score higher than 4 (4+
recommended)
ii. Network: Using 802.11n Wi-Fi
a. Move your laptop closer to the projector
b. Disable the “Minimum Power Consumption” option from the “Advanced Tab”
in your Wi-Fi network Adopter Property setting
c. Lower PC screen resolution
