Securing the projector
Using a security cable lock
The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. Otherwise, purchase a
lock, such as a Kensington lock, to secure the projector. You can locate a Kensington lock
slot on the left side of the projector. See
"Kensington anti-theft lock slot" on page 9
for
details.
A Kensington security cable lock is usually a combination of key(s) and a lock. Refer to the
lock’s documentation for finding out 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. For details of the OSD menu operation, please refer to
"Using the
Advanced OSD menu" on page 39
.
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.
