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 will
appear, and the
INPUT PASSWORD
message
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 23
for details.
If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in succession, the projector will automatically
shut down in a short time.
