What is PIN code?

PIN (Personal Identification Number) code is a security code that allows the person who knows it to operate the projector. Setting the PIN code prevents unauthorized use of the projector.

A PIN code consists of a four-digit number. Refer to the PIN code lock function in the Setting Menu on pages 47–48 for locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.

CAUTION ON HANDLING THE PIN CODE

If you forget your PIN code, the projector can no longer be started. Take a special care in setting a new PIN code; write down the number in a column on page 68 of this manual and keep it at hand. Should the PIN code be missing or forgotten, consult your dealer or service center.
