The password is used to validate the command to enable or disable writes
in the device. (The factory default password is: 1*******. Once the password
has been changed, the default password is no longer valid.)
To change the password:
1. Select "Set Password" and enter the password. Hit "Send."
2. If enabled, disable Write Protect. Hit "Send."
3. Select "Set Password" and enter a new password. Do not hit "Send" yet.
4. From within the "Set Write Protect" menu, select "Change Password."
Hit "Send."
Always record the new password. If the password is forgotten, the device
must be returned to the factory for re-programming.
With Write Protect enabled, variables cannot be written to the device and
commands that cause actions to be performed in the device cannot occur.
