Enter a PIN code

Use the Point ed buttons to enter a number. Press the Point

8button 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 7 button to move the pointer to the number you want to correct, and then enter the correct number.

Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.

After entering the four-digit number, move the pointer to “Set.” Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

If you entered an incorrect PIN code, “PIN code” and the number (✳✳✳✳) will turn red for a moment. Enter the correct PIN code all over again.

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 52–53 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 72 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
