Password Security

When password security is enabled a four-digit passcode is required when turning on the main power and/or accessing the
OSD (see page 47). The monitor will function normally after the password is entered. If no buttons have been pressed for
30 seconds, the monitor will return to SECURE MODE automatically and the password will be required again.


NOTEN:
If you change the password make a note of the password in a secure location. If you forget your password, you will need
to contact technical support to get a recovery password to access the monitor OSD menu.
