- Place the projector on a stable, flat surface in the desired projection area. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
- Epuka kuweka projekta kwenye jua moja kwa moja au karibu na vyanzo vya joto.
3.2 Nguvu ya Kuunganisha
- Unganisha waya wa umeme kwenye mlango wa umeme wa projekta.
- Chomeka mwisho mwingine wa kebo ya umeme kwenye sehemu ya umeme iliyowekwa msingi.
- Nuru ya kiashiria cha nguvu kwenye projekta inapaswa kuangazia.
3.3 Kuunganisha Vyanzo vya Kuingiza Data
The BenQ MX520 supports various input sources. Connect your device (e.g., computer, Blu-ray player) to the projector using the appropriate cable.
- HDMI: Kwa video na sauti ya kidijitali yenye ubora wa hali ya juu.
- VGA (D-Sub): For analog computer signals.
- Video ya S: Kwa video ya ufafanuzi wa kawaida.
- Video ya Mchanganyiko (RCA): Kwa video ya ufafanuzi wa kawaida.
- Sauti Ndani/Nje: Kwa kuunganisha vifaa vya sauti vya nje.
- USB Ndogo: For service or control purposes.
Kumbuka: For optimal picture quality with HDMI, use a High-Speed HDMI cable.
3.4 Marekebisho ya Picha
- Kuza: Adjust the zoom ring on the lens to achieve the desired image size on your screen.
- Kuzingatia: After adjusting the zoom, rotate the focus ring on the lens until the image appears sharp and clear.
- Marekebisho ya Jiwe kuu: Use the projector's menu or dedicated buttons to correct any trapezoidal distortion if the projector is not perfectly perpendicular to the screen.
4. Maagizo ya Uendeshaji
4.1 Kuwasha / Kuzima
- Washa: Press the power button on the projector or remote control. The lamp will take a moment to warm up before the image appears.
- Zima umeme: Press the power button again. The projector will enter a cooling cycle. Do not unplug the projector during this cycle. Wait for the cooling fan to stop before disconnecting power.

- SmartEco Mode: Automatically adjusts lamp power based on content to deliver optimal brightness and contrast while maximizing energy savings.
- Hali ya Eco Blank: Activates a blank screen, reducing lamp power to 30% when the projector is not actively displaying content. This can be manually activated or automatically engaged if no source is detected.
- No Source Detected Mode: If the projector remains on for over three minutes without an active input signal, it will automatically switch to Eco Blank Mode to conserve energy.
4.4 3D Projection
To enjoy 3D content, ensure your source device is outputting a compatible 3D signal and you are using DLP Link compatible 3D glasses. Refer to your 3D source device's manual for specific setup instructions.
5. Matengenezo
5.1 Lamp Maisha
Projector lamp has an estimated life of up to 6500 hours, depending on usage mode. When the lamp kufikia mwisho wa maisha yake, ujumbe wa onyo utaonekana, na lamp indicator will illuminate. Refer to the service section for lamp replacement instructions (if applicable, or contact support).
