EPSON PowerLite 7800p Projector
Enabling Password Protection
To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can assign it a password. If you do, a screen appears requesting the password whenever the projector is plugged in and turned on. If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession, the projector’s operation is locked and the power cord must be disconnected and reinserted to redisplay the password screen.
Note: If three attempts like this are made (an incorrect password is entered nine times in succession), the projector remains locked and you must contact the dealer to unlock it. Therefore, it’s a good idea to write your password down. Also, make a note of the “Request Code: xxxxx” number that appears in the Password Protect Release screen. If you do forget the password, you’ll need this code when you contact the dealer.
If you leave the projector plugged in (after turning if off), the projector does not ask for the password each time you turn it on. You need to enter the password only after unplugging and reconnecting the power cable.

Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the recommended procedure below to shut it down. This extends the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible overheating.
Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30 minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters sleep mode. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector, unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press the P Power button.
You can turn off sleep mode using the Sleep Mode option in the Setting menu. If Standby Mode has been set to Network ON (in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp turns off but the projector does not go into full sleep mode. (It provides enough operation to allow network access.)
Follow these steps to turn off the projector:
1.Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector.
2.To turn off the projector, press the red P Power button on the projector or remote control.
You see a confirmation message. (If you don’t want to turn it off, press any other button.)
3.Press the P Power button again. The P power light flashes orange for about 40 seconds as the projector cools down. After the projector has cooled, the orange light stays on and the exhaust fan shuts off.
