Configuring Password Settings
After Password has been enabled, you can specify the Password preferences as follows:
1. Press the Menu button and select the DataGuard tab.
2. Press the Setup button.
• Password Expires — Specifies how long the Password is valid before it must be
changed. The default is 90 days. You can enter a value in the range of 30 to 365 days.
• Login Timeout — Specifies the period of inactivity that passes before the use is
automatically logged out. The default is 5 minutes. You can enter a value in the range
of 1 to 30 minutes.
• Password Min Len — Specifies the minimum number of characters required for a valid
Password. The default is 3 characters. You can enter a value in the range of 3 to 8

Disabling Password Protection
To disable Password protection follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Analyzer with the User ID and Password.
2. Press the Menu button and select the DataGuard tab.
3. Press the Disable Password button. When the confirmation window displays, press OK .
Password protection is immediately disabled. Note that if you decide to re-enable Password
protection, you will need to use the Password that was active at the time Password protection was
disabled; if you changed the Password from the default administrative Password, you should write
down the changed Password and store it in a secure location in case you want to re-enable
Password protection in the future.
Using DataGuard
DataGuard offers support for regulation 21 CFR Part 11, providing multiple levels of user access to
the Analyzer via up to 100 unique User IDs and maintaining an audit trail of all user operations.
DataGuard must be purchased as an upgrade from GE Analytical Instruments; once it is enabled, it
cannot be disabled.
