Utilizing the power-on lock 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. For details of the OSD menu operation, please refer to
"Using the
menus" on page 42
.
WARNING: You will be inconvenienced if you activate the power-on lock 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, the projector cannot be used unless the correct password is
entered every time the projector is started.
