Securing the projector
Using a security cable lock
The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent stealing. If not, purchase a lock, like Kensington lock, to
secure the projector. You can locate a Kensington lock slot on the rear side of the projector. See item 12 on page 8
for details.
A Kensington security cable lock is usually the combination of key(s) and lock. Refer to the lock’s documentation
about how to use it.
Utilizing the password function
For security purposes and to help prevent unauthorized use, the projector includes an option for setting up
password security. The password can be set through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Once the password is
set and this function is selected, the projector is password-protected. Users who do not know the correct
password can not use the projector.
You will be inconvenienced if you activate the password functionality and subsequently forget the
password. Print out this manual (if necessary) and write the password you used in this manual, and keep
the manual in a safe place for later recall.
Setting a password
Once a password has been set and activated, the projector cannot be used unless the correct password is
entered every time the projector is started.
1. Press MENU on the projector or remote control and then press /
until the Advanced Setup menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Password and press ENTER. The Password page
displays.
3. Highlight Password and press / to select On. The Input Password
page displays.
4. As the picture indicates, the four arrow keys ( , , , )
respectively represent 4 digits (1, 2, 3, 4). According to the password you
desire to set, press the arrow keys on the remote control or projector to
enter six digits for the password.
Once the password is set, the OSD menu returns to the Password page.
IMPORTANT: The digits being input will display as asterisks on-
screen. Write your selected password down here in this manual in
advance or right after the password is entered so that it is available
to you should you ever forget it.
Password: __ __ __ __ __ __
Keep this manual in a safe place.
5. To leave the OSD menu, press MENU.
If you forget the password
If the password function is activated, you will be asked to enter the six-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 Input Password page follows. You can retry by
entering another six-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 22 for details.
If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in succession, the projector will
automatically shut down in a short time.
