2	Connect the projector's AC power cord into an AC outlet.
	The POWER indicator blinks red in a moment and lights red.
3	Press the POWER ON-OFF button on the top control or on
	the remote control. The POWER indicator turns green

Repeat this step to complete entering a four-digit number.

When the four-digit number is fixed, the pointer will automatically move to "Set". Press the SELECT button so that you can start to operate the projector.

If you entered a wrong PIN code, "PIN code" and the number ( ) will turn red and disappear. Enter a correct PIN code all over again.

What is PIN code?

PIN code is a security code using Personal Identification Number that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting PIN code prevents others except the specific users from operating the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to PIN Code Lock function in Setting on page 43 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Set a new PIN code with special care, write it down in column on page 59 of this manual, and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.

Note:

•If the correct PIN code number is not input for 3 minutes after the PIN code dialog box appeared, the projector will be turned off automatically.
