PowerLite 1810p/1815p Using the Projector Security Features To prevent unauthorized use of the projector, you can assign a password to prevent the projector from being turned on; create a custom screen that is displayed at startup and/or when the A/V Mute button is pressed; or disable the projector's buttons. You can also attach a security cable to the projector to prevent theft. Enabling Password Protection The default setting for the password is 0000. Follow these steps to create a new password: 1. Press the Freeze button on the remote control for about five seconds.

The password screen closes and projection begins. 2. Use the pointer button to select Password and press Enter. 3. When you see a message asking if you want to change the password, select Yes and press Enter. 4.

Then press the Menu button to exit the screen. To set security options, access the Password Protect screen as described above, and then turn on any of the following options: ❏ Power On Protect to prevent unauthorized use of the projector. After the projector is plugged in and turned on, you must enter a password to use the projector. ❏ User's Logo Protect to prevent your custom screen and display settings from being changed. None of the User's Logo features in the Extended menu can be changed when the User's Logo Protect function is enabled. ❏ Network Protect to lock the Network settings in the menu system (PowerLite 1815p only). Caution: If you lose the remote control, you will not be able to enter the password. Keep the remote control in a safe place at all times. Also, it's a good idea to write down your password. If the password is not correct, you see a message prompting you to re-enter it. If you enter an incorrect password three times in succession, you see the message The projector's operation will be locked and the projector switches to standby mode. Disconnect the projector's power cord from the electrical outlet, reconnect it, and turn the projector back on. When you see the Password screen again, you can try to enter the correct password. If you enter an incorrect password 30 times in succession, the projector remains locked and you must contact Epson to unlock it. If you have forgotten the password, contact Epson with the request code number that appears in the Password screen for assistance. Note: If you leave the projector plugged in, the Password Protect Release screen will not appear. It appears only if you unplug and reconnect the power cable.

The remote control can still be used to operate the projector. 1. Press the Menu button, highlight the Setting menu, and press Enter. 2. Select Operation Lock and press Enter. 3. Select Full Lock (to lock all projector buttons) or Partial Lock (to lock all buttons except the Power button) and press Enter. 3/08 PowerLite 1810p/1815p - 9
