Locking Control Keys; Creating Your Own Startup Screen - ViewSonic Pro8500 User Manual

Locking control keys

With the control keys on the projector locked, you can prevent your projector settings
from being changed accidentally (by children, for example). When the Panel Key
Lock is on, no control keys on the projector will operate except
1. Press on the projector or remote control.
2. A confirmation message is displayed. Select
Yes to confirm.
To release panel key lock, press and hold
3 seconds on the projector.
Important
Keys on the remote control are still functional when panel key lock is
enabled.
If you press
lock, the projector will still be in locked status the next time it is turned on.

Creating your own startup screen

In addition to selecting the projector preset startup screen from ViewSonic logo or User
screen, you can make your own startup screen that is an image projected from your
computer or video source.
1. Press MENU/EXIT on the projector or Menu on the remote control and then press
/ until the Option menu is highlighted.
2. Press to highlight Start up Screen and press MODE/ENTER on the projector
or Enter on the remote control.
3. A confirmation message is displayed. Press MODE/ENTER on the projector or
Enter on the remote control again.
4. The message 'Screen Capturing...' is displayed while the projector is processing
the picture. Please wait.
5. If the action is successful, you see the message 'Capture Succeeded' on the
screen. The captured picture is saved as User.
6. To view the captured picture displayed as the startup screen, set User in the
Option > Start up Screen > User menu and restart the projector.
In the unlikely event that the capturing action fails, change your target picture.
