Preventing theft (Password Protect)
When the Password Protect function is activated, people who do not know the 
password will not be able to use the projector to project images, if the power 
has been disconnected since the password was last entered correctly. 
Furthermore, the users logo that is displayed on the background of the 
screen cannot be changed. This is effective against theft. At the time of 
purchase, the password protection function is not enabled.
When Password Protect is Enabled
 When Power On Protect is enabled (On)
When the power is turned on for the first time after the projectors 
power cable is connected to an electrical outlet, or when Direct Power 
On is carried out, the following password entry screen will be 
displayed.
While holding down the [Num] button, press the numeric keypad 
buttons to enter the password. If the password is entered correctly, 
projection will start. 
If you leave the power cable connected to the electrical outlet and turn 
the projectors power on when it is in standby mode, projection will 
start without the password entry screen appearing. The password 
entry screen will only be displayed when the power is turned on for the first time after the power cable has been disconnected and then 
reconnected. If Direct Power On is set to On and you are using a 
circuit breaker or similar to centrally control the power, the password 
entry screen will be displayed the first time the projector is turned on 
after the power supply is restored.
