What is PIN code?
PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security

projector. Setting a PIN code prevents unauthorized use
of the projector.
A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the
PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 58-
59 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN
code.
