Section 4: 

Getting the most from your BenQ monitor

 to install 

the monitor software.

1. Prepare the monitor and area.

Turn off the monitor and the power before unplugging the 
power cable. Turn off the computer before unplugging the 
monitor signal cable.

Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. 
Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler 
or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD 
substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping 
the monitor around on your desk will scratch or 
damage the monitor surround and controls. 

Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area 
on your desk and placing a soft item like a towel on the 
desk for padding, before laying the screen face down on a 
flat clean padded surface.

2. Release the locking clip on one side of the stand base 

whilst pulling the edge of the base away from the 
stand arm.

3. Release the other locking clip to detach the stand base 

from the monitor stand arm.
