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

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
