Introduction
You can influence the protection levels used with passwords via softkeys.

Set password
1. Press the softkey "Set password." The "Please enter password:" input window appears.
2. Enter one of the possible default passwords (see table "Protection levels concept") and
confirm the entry with the softkey "OK." A permissible password is set and the valid
access level is displayed. Invalid passwords will be rejected.
Change password
For secure access protection, you should change the default passwords
1. Press the "Change password" softkey. The current access level is displayed in the
window that opens.
2. Mark the area for which you would like to assign the new password. You can select the
following areas here:

– User
3. Enter the new password in the input fields "New password" and "Repeat password."
4. Confirm the entry with the softkey "OK." Both entered passwords must match for the
modified password to become valid.

Access authorization is not automatically deleted at POWER ON!
