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:

•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 2 watts of electricity.

•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.

•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.

•BenQ's monitors and projectors include user-selectable color controls, such as color temperature selections (Monitor: 5800K, 6500K and 9300K, Projector: 5500K, 6500K, 7500K and 9300K), with a wide range of contrast levels.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•BenQ's customer service provides answers and assistance to all our customers through phone calls, facsimiles, e-mails, or web sites.
