If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to enter the password. Keep the remote control in a safe place at all times. Also, it’s a good idea to write down your password.

Using the Projector Security Features

To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can do the following:

■Assign a password. You can use the password to prevent the projector from being turned on, prevent your custom startup screen from being changed, and lock network settings.

■Create a custom screen that is displayed at startup and/or when the A/V Mute button is pressed. The screen can be locked with a password to discourage theft and provides a way to identify the projector should it be stolen. See page 104.

■Disable the projector’s buttons; this is useful, for example, if you’re projecting in a classroom and you want to ensure that no one touches the projector’s buttons while you’re using the remote control. See page 106.

The default setting for the password is 0000. Follow these steps to create a new password:

1.Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about five seconds. You see this screen:

2.Use the pointer button to select Password and press Enter.

3.When you see a message asking if you want to change the password, select Yes and press Enter.
