Accessibility Requirements for Rehabilitation Act of 1973, Section 508
BenQ's commitment to accessible products allows us to support government in making accessible technology
choices. BenQ's LCD monitors and projectors are compliant with Section 508 guidelines by including the
assistive features as below:
z
BenQ's monitors have colored "Power" indicators. While the indicator shows green, it means that the
monitor is using the full power. While the indicator shows yellow or amber, it means that the monitor is in
suspend or sleep mode and is using less than 2watts of electricity.
z
BenQ's monitors have a variety of settings of pre-programmed flicker-free timing to make the screen
shown on the monitor readily accessible. The default timing setting is automatically turned on every time
the monitor is powered up, and thus reduces the hassle of user intervention.
z
BenQ's monitors and projectors have options for brightness and contrast adjustments that text and
images could be displayed differently to meet the demands of the visually impaired. Other similar
adjustments are also available by using the On-Screen Display (OSD) controls on the products.
z
BenQ's multimedia monitors and projectors usually have one or two speakers for audio performance
which allow users (including hearing impaired) to interact with the computer systems connected. Speaker
controls are typically located on the front-panel.
z
Firmware of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain unique product information that helps computer
systems to identify BenQ products and activate their Plug-and-Play function when connected.
z
All BenQ's monitors and projectors are compatible with the PC99 standard. For example, connectors are
color-coded to help users easily connecting products to computer systems correctly.
z
Some models of BenQ's monitors and projectors contain additional USB and DVI ports for connection to
more devices such as a special headphone to assist the hearing impaired.
z
All BenQ monitors and projectors come with user manuals on compact discs which could be easily read
by commercial software such as Adobe Reader via a connected computer system. These documents are
also available on the BenQ's web site (www.BenQ.com). Other types of documents may be available
upon requests.
z
BenQ's customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through phone calls,
facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
