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 message 

'INPUT PASSWORD' 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 

 

for details.

If you enter an incorrect password 5 times in succession, the projector will automatically 

shut down in a short time.
