If you forget the password
If the password function is activated, you will be asked
to enter the five-digit password every time you turn on
the projector. If you enter the wrong password, the
password error message as pictured to the right
displays lasting for three seconds, and the message
'INPUT PASSWORD' follows. You can retry by
entering another five-digit password, or if you did not
record the password in this manual, and you absolutely do not remember it, you can use the
password recall procedure. See "Entering the password recall procedure" on page 28 for
details.
If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in succession, the projector will automatically
shut down in a short time.
