If you forget the password
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 is
displayed lasting for 3 seconds, and the
INPUT

message 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
