Using Password Protection
If you assign a password for the projector, a screen appears
requesting the password whenever you 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.
Follow the instructions below to first set the password, and then
turn on the password and/or user logo protection.
Note:
If you should happen to enable the password before you set one, and
you see the prompt to enter the password, enter the default password
to proceed.
