Password-protecting the Console

To password-protect the console:
  1. Set the password as described in Setting Password.
  2. Select the Enable Screen Saver box.
  3. Type the number of minutes of Inactivity Time (from 1 through 99) to delay password protection and screen saver activation.
  4. For Mode: If the monitor is ENERGY STAR compliant, select Energy; if not select Screen.
    • If the mode is set to Energy, the appliance puts the monitor into sleep mode. This is normally indicated by the monitor powering off and the amber light replacing the green power LED.
    • If the mode is set to Screen, the OSCAR flag bounces around the screen for the duration of the test. Before the test starts, a warning popup box displays the following message: "Energy mode may damage a monitor that is not ENERGY STAR compliant. However, once started, the test can be quit immediately via mouse or keyboard interaction."
    • CAUTION: Monitor damage may result from the use of Energy mode with monitors not compliant with Energy Star.
  5. Optional: To activate the screen saver test, click Test. The Screen Saver Test dialog box displays. Click OK to start the test. The test takes 10 seconds. After it completes, you are returned to the Security dialog box.
