Safeguards

INTENDED USE

Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The 3M™ Multimedia Projector 8780 was designed, built and tested for use indoors, using 3M™ brand lamps, 3M™ brand ceiling mount hardware and nominal local voltages. This projector is not intended for household use. The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation or different voltages has not been tested and could damage the projector or peripheral equipment and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read and understand all instructions before using. Pay particular attention to areas where this symbol is shown.

WARNING - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Caution - Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

✔ Note - Used to emphasize important conditions or details.

2. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Do not leave appliance unattended while in use.

3. Never look directly into the projector lens when the lamp is on. The high pressure mercury lamp produces a strong light which could damage your eyesight.

ENGLISH

4. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

5. Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or if the appliance has been dropped or damaged – until it has been examined by a qualified service technician.

6. Position the cord so that it will not be tripped over, pulled, or contact hot surfaces.

7. If any extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the appliance should be used. Cords rated for less amperage than the appliance may overheat.

8. Always unplug appliance from electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when not in use. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

9. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquids.

10. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this appliance, but take it to a qualified technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect assembly can cause electric shock when the appliance is subsequently used.

11. Connect this appliance to a grounded outlet.

12. Do not expose this projector to direct sunlight, or use it outside.

13. Keep all ventilation openings free of any obstructions.

14. Always open the lens shutter or remove lens cap when the projection lamp is on.

15. Do not look directly into light beam of laser pointer. The pointer produces a strong light which could damage your eyesight.

16. The projection lamp contains mercury. Always dispose of it in a proper manner according to local regulations.

17. To avoid premature lamp failure, do not change the mounting position of the projector

(desktop ➮ ceiling mount or ceiling ➮ desktop mount) and continue to use the same lamp.

18. Always operate machine on a flat, sturdy surface.

Caution

Turn power off to all devices before making connections. Never plug anything into the projector or computer while any device is in operation. The MP8780 must be powered down when making connections. The mouse emulation (except USB) may not work if the unit is not powered down before the mouse cable connections are made.

2.3 System Setup - Connecting Various Equipment (continued)

BNC Connections

ENGLISH

There are four kinds of usage for BNC connectors:

Purpose Usage of BNC Menu Selection

R/Y(CV) G/U B/V HS VS Selection1 Selection2

Usage 1 RGB Input Red Green Blue HS VS RGB3 Usage 2 Component Input Y U V NC NC VIDEO3 YUV Usage 3 CV CV NC NC NC NC VIDEO3 CV/S Usage 4 S-video Y C NC NC NC VIDEO3 CV/S (Note): NC No Connection

Usage 1: Selecting "RGB" determines the usage of BNC as RGB Input. Usage 2: Selecting "VIDEO3" and "YUV" determines the usage of BNC as Component Input. Usage 3/4: Selecting "VIDEO3" and "CV/S" determines the usage of BNC as CV or S. Usage of BNC as CV or S is

determined automatically by detecting input signal by the projector. On the above table, "Selecting 1" is done by direct "RGB" or "VIDEO" button of Oeration Panel or Remote Controller.

Selection 2 is done by "MENU" button and selecting "OPTION"-1st layer, "BNC"-2nd layer and "YUV/CV/S"-3rd layer. Apple™ Desktop Mouse - The Macintosh operating system should recognize the MP8780 as a mouse without any drivers

being loaded. VirtualMouse for PC Computer - For IBM™ compatible computers, the operating systems will need to be set to "Serial

Mouse," "PS/2 Mouse" or "USB Mouse" to recognize the projector as a mouse pointer device.

Change mouse driver information to "Serial Mouse", "PS/2 Mouse" or "USB Mouse".

a) Windows™ 95/Windows™ 98 - Click "Start;" select "Settings;" select "Control Panel." Click on "Mouse;"

select the "General" tab; (see what driver is currently loaded and make note of it); select "Change;" select "Show all devices;" (make note of the current Manufacturer and Model); select "Standard Mouse Type" for Manufacturer; then select "Standard Serial Mouse" or "Standard PS/2 Mouse". Click OK to change and apply the new driver. Restart Windows if prompted.

b) Windows™ 3.1 - From "Program Manager" click "Main;" then click "Windows Setup," (make note of

what the current mouse driver is); Click "Options;" then "Change Systems Settings." Choose "Mouse." It should be listed as "Microsoft or IBM PS/2."

✔ Note

For proper mouse operation, always turn the projector power on first and then power up the computer. For some laptop computers you may need to disable the internal pointing device (IPD). This is done through

the BIOS level set up of the particular machine, or it could be listed in a "Utilities" program group, i.e., "Toshiba Utilities™," or "Thinkpad Features™."
