The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. Otherwise, purchase a 

lock, such as the Kensington lock, to secure the projector. You can locate a Kensington 

lock slot on the rear side of the projector. See item 20 on page 

 for details.

A Kensington security cable lock is usually a combination of key(s) and the lock. Refer to 

the lock’s documentation for finding out how to use it.

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.

WARNING: 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.

Once a password has been set and the power on lock is activated, the projector cannot be used unless the 

correct password is entered every time the projector is started.
