Using the projector
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. Once the
password is set and this function is selected, the projector is password-protected. Users who do not
know the correct password can not use the projector.
You will be inconvenienced if you activate the password 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.
