To enter an established password, press the Scroll button until the desired letter
appears. Remember that the password is case-sensitive. Then, press the Select
button. Continue selecting the appropriate characters in this manner until the last
character is entered. Then, press the Exit key. A correctly entered password
advances you to the Menu screen. An incorrectly entered password returns an Idle
screen. You may re-try to enter another password. Refer to the section entitled
New Password on page 51 for information on establishing a password.
The unit is factory shipped without a programmed password. When accessing this
interface for the first time, the password prompt will not appear and the interface
proceeds directly to the Main Menu screen as shown in Figure 3-4.
