Edit.
The password list is shown on the display. The password list may contain a
maximum of 50 passwords. The two-digit number at the beginning of a pass-
word entry indicates the password index. On the right of the password index
is the field for the password. The password must be at least 3 but not more
than 8 characters long; it may contain digits and the letters A – F.
On the right of the password you will see the assigned password level. During
the initial call, only the superuser entry is included.
If a password has not been entered for a specific password index, dashed
fields are shown for the password and the password level.

You can scroll through the password list using the UP and DOWN arrow
keys.
1. Select the line for the password entry on the password list.
The cursor is located on the first character of the field for password input.
2. Enter a unique password and confirm it. Leading zeroes are not allowed
in passwords.
3. Move the cursor with the RIGHT arrow key to the field for the password
level.
4. Insert and enter a password level of 1 to 8 for the password.
5. Exit from the standard screen by pressing the ESCAPE key.
To change a password, call the password entry in the same way as you do for
allocating a password and enter the new password by overwriting the old one.
If you just want to change the password level and not the password, skip the
field containing the password entry by pressing ENTER. Then move the cur-
sor with the RIGHT arrow key to the field for the password level and enter
the new level.
