Securing the projector

Using a security cable lock
The projector has to be installed in a safe place to prevent theft. Otherwise, purchase a lock,
such as the Kensington lock, to secure the projector. You can locate a Kensington lock slot on
the rear side of the projector.
A Kensington security cable lock is usually a combination of key(s) and the lock. Refer to the
lock's documentation for finding out how to use it.

option for setting up password security. The password can be set through the On-Screen
Display (OSD) menu.

subsequently forget the password. Print out this manual (if necessary) and write the password
you used in this manual, and keep the manual in a safe place for later recall.
