Enabling Password Protection
To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can assign
it a password. If you do, a screen appears requesting the
password whenever the projector is plugged in and turned on.
If an incorrect password is entered three times in succession,
the projector’s operation is locked and the power cord must be
disconnected and reinserted to redisplay the password screen.
Note: If three attempts like this are made (an incorrect password
is entered nine times in succession), the projector remains locked
and you must contact the dealer to unlock it. Therefore, it’s a good
idea to write your password down. Also, make a note of the
“Request Code: xxxxx” number that appears in the Password
Protect Release screen. If you do forget the password, you’ll need
this code when you contact the dealer.
If you leave the projector plugged in (after turning if off), the
projector does not ask for the password each time you turn it
on. You need to enter the password only after unplugging and
reconnecting the power cable.
The default setting for the password function is off. Follow
these steps to turn password protection on:
1. Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about
five seconds. You see this screen:
2. Use the pointer button to set Security Lock to ON .
Then press Enter .
Caution: If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to
enter the password. Keep the remote control in a safe place at
all times.
3. Select Password and press Enter .
4. When you see a message asking if you want to change the
password, select Yes and press Enter .
5. Press the Num button on the remote control. When it
lights, the numeric keypad is activated.
6. Use the numeric keypad to enter a four-digit password.
(The default setting is 0000.)
7. When you see a confirmation message, reenter the
password. Then press the Menu button to exit the screen.
8. Press the Num button on the remote control to deactivate
the numeric keypad.
Starting the Projector with a Password
When the password function is enabled, you see this screen
when you plug in the projector:
1. Press the Num button on the remote control to activate the
numeric keypad.
2. Enter the four digit password.
3. Press the Num button to deactivate the numeric keypad.
The Security Lock Release screen closes, and projection
begins.
Shutting Down the Projector
When you’ve finished using the projector, follow the
recommended procedure below to shut it down. This extends
the life of the lamp and protects the projector from possible
overheating.
Note: When the projector has not received any input signals for 30
minutes, it automatically turns off the projector lamp and enters
sleep mode. This conserves electricity, cools the projector, and
extends the life of the lamp. If you are done using the projector,
unplug the power cord. If you want to start projecting again, press
the P
Power button.
You can turn off sleep mode using the Sleep Mode option in the
Setting menu. If Standby Mode has been set to Network ON
(in the Advanced1 menu), the lamp turns off but the projector
does not go into full sleep mode. (It provides enough operation to
allow network access.)
Follow these steps to turn off the projector:
1. Turn off any equipment plugged into the projector.
2. To turn off the projector, press the red P Power button on
the projector or remote control.
You see a confirmation
message. (If you don’t want
to turn it off, press any
other button.)
3. Press the P Power button again. The P power light flashes
orange for about 40 seconds as the projector cools down.
After the projector has cooled, the orange light stays on and
the exhaust fan shuts off.
