24 Using the projector
English
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. For details of the OSD
menu operation, please refer to
"Using the menus" on page 36 .
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.
Setting a password
Once a password has been set and activated, the projector cannot be used unless the correct password is
entered every time the projector is started.
1. Open the OSD menu and go to the Advanced Setup > Password menu. Press ENTER.
2. Highlight Password and select On by pressing eLeft orfRight.
3. A prompt will display on the screen.
4. As pictured to the right, the four arrow buttons (cUp, fRight,
dDown, eLeft) respectively represent 4 digits (1, 2, 3, 4). Press the
arrow buttons to enter six digits for the password.
Once the password is set, the OSD menu returns to the Password
page.
IMPORTANT: The digits being input will display as asterisks on-
screen. Write your selected password down here in this manual in
advance or right after the password is entered so that it is available
to you should you ever forget it.
Password: __ __ __ __ __ __
Keep this manual in a safe place.
5. Press EXIT to go back to the previous page, or press MENU to leave the OSD menu.
If you forget the password
If the password function is activated, you will be asked to enter the six digit
password every time you turn on the projector. If you enter the wrong
password, the password error message as pictured to the right displays
lasting for three seconds, and the 'INPUT PASSWORD' message follows.
You can retry by entering another six-digit password, or if you did not
record the password in this manual, and you absolutely do not remember
it, you can use the password recall procedure. See
"Entering the password recall procedure" on page 24 for details.
If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in succession, the projector will automatically shut down in a short
time.
Entering the password recall procedure
Press MODE on the projector or remote control. The projector will
display a coded number on the screen. Write down the number and turn
off your projector. Seek help from the local BenQ service center to
decode the number. You may be required to provide proof of purchase
documentation to verify that you are an authorized user of the
projector.
