Enter a PIN code

Use the Point ▲▼ buttons to enter a number. Press the Point button to fix the number and move the red frame pointer to the next box. The number changes to “.” If you fixed an incorrect number, use the Point button to move the pointer to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct number.

What is PIN code?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 54–55 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Take a special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in a column on page 76 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
