Using Password Protection
If you assign a password for the projector, a screen appears
requesting the password whenever you plug in and turn on the
projector. If you enter the password incorrectly three times in
succession, the projector’s operation is locked. Disconnect the
projector and reconnect it. If you enter the incorrect password
30 times in a row, the projector is locked and remains locked
until an authorized Epson servicer can unlock it.
You can also create a user’s logo for the projector, to be
displayed as the startup screen and/or AV/Mute screen.
Unauthorized users cannot turn it off or change it. This
discourages theft and provides a way to identify the projector
should it be stolen.
Additionally, to make sure a borrowed projector is returned,
you can temporarily disable the password for a set period of
time. When that time has elapsed, the password function is
reactivated and you must enter the password before you can use
the projector.
Note:
If you should happen to enable the password before you set one,
enter the default password
0000 when prompted.
If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to enter the
password; so keep the remote control in a safe place at all times.
Setting a Password
1. Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about
5 seconds, until you see the Password Protect menu:
If a password has already been set, you see the Password
Protect Release screen. See “Starting the Projector with a
Password” on page 10.
2. Set Power ON Protect to ON and press Enter.
3. Press Esc .
4. Select Password and press Enter . You see the message
Change the password?
5. Select Yes and press Enter .
6. Hold down the Num button on the remote control and use
the numeric keypad to enter a 4-digit password.
The password will be
displayed as
**** . After you
enter the last digit, a
confirmation screen appears.
Enter the password again.
7. After you finish setting the
password, press the Esc
button to return to the
Password Protect menu.
8. Press the Num button to
deactivate the numeric
keypad.
Make a note of the password and keep it in a safe place.
Turning On the Password and User’s Logo
To enable the password and User’s Logo, follow these steps:
1. Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about 5
seconds until you see the Password Protect menu.
2. Select Power ON Protect and press Enter .
3. Select ON and press Esc .
After turning on this feature, you have to unplug the
projector (not just turn it off) in order to activate it. The
password prompt appears only after plugging in the
projector and turning it on.
4. If you want to disable the password temporarily so someone
can use the projector without entering the password, select
Timer and press Enter . Then hold down the Num button
while you use the numeric keypad to enter the number of
hours (from 0 to 9999) you want the password feature
disabled. If you want the projector to request the password
every time it is turned on, set the timer to
0H .
The timer starts counting as soon as you close the Password
Protect menu. (You can check the elapsed time in this menu
next to
Time elapsed .)
When the period defined in the Time-elapsed setting has
passed, and the password is entered correctly, the elapsed
time is reset to
0H and the timer starts again. Remember to
disable or change this setting when you’re finished using it.
5. To enable your User’s Logo, select User’s Logo Protect and
press Enter . Then select ON and press Enter .
When this feature is on, the logo appears when the projector
is turned on (if the
Startup Screen is enabled in the
Extended menu) and as the A/V Mute screen (if you selected
Logo as the Background Color in the Extended menu).
Note:
None of the User’s Logo features can be changed when the User’s
Logo Protect function is enabled.
6. Press Menu to close the Password Protect menu.
