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 a 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 60–61 for
locking operation of the projector with your PIN code.
After the OK icon disappears,
you can operate the projector.
