Preventing theft (Password Protect)

27

 

When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know the password cannot use the projector to project images when the power is turned on. Furthermore, the user's logo that is displayed on the background of the screen cannot be changed. This is effective against theft.

When the power is turned on, the password entry screen is displayed. If a window asking you to enter a password is displayed, press the [Num] button to switch the buttons shown in the box in the illustration below to numeric keypad mode.

While holding down the [Num] button, press the numeric keypad buttons to enter the password. If the password is entered correctly, projection will then start.

TIP

•If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession, the message "The projector’s operation will be locked." will be displayed for approximately five minutes, and then the projector will switch to standby mode. If this happens, disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet and then reinsert it and turn the projector's power back on. A window requesting you to enter the password will be displayed, so enter the correct password.

If you happen to forget the password, make a note of the "Request Code: xxxxx" number that appears in the Password screen and contact the nearest address provided in the "International Warranty Conditions" section of the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet.

•If you repeat the above operations ten times resulting in an incorrect password being entered thirty times, the following message will be displayed and the projector will not accept password entries any more.

"The projector’s operation will be locked. Contact the nearest address provided in the "International Warranty Conditions" section of the Safety Instructions/World Wide Warranty Terms booklet."
