Preventing theft (Password Protect)

User’s Guide

31

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 to deter theft.

When Password Protect is enabled When "Power ON Protect" is enabled (ON)

When the power is turned on for the first time after the projector's power cable is connected to the electrical outlet, or when Direct Power On is carried out, the following password entry screen will be displayed.

Remote control

Keep depressed

Numeric buttons

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

If you leave the power cable connected to the electrical outlet and turn the projector's power on when it is in standby mode, projection will start without the password entry screen appearing. The password entry screen will only be displayed when the power is turned on for the first time after the power cable has been disconnected and then reconnected. If Direct Power On is set to "ON" and you are using a circuit breaker or similar to centrally control the power, the password entry screen will be displayed the first time the projector is turned on after the power supply is restored.

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.

If you 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."
