3M™ Pocket Projector MPro150

English

Battery Charging Notes:

• If the projector power is off, allow three hours for the battery to fully recharge. If the projector power is on, the battery will take longer to charge.

• The battery can also be charged by connecting the projector to a computer USB port. This method will fully charge the battery in six hours.

• The battery has a lifespan and ages every time it is fully charged and discharged. The battery will gradually loose charge capacity as it ages. Therefore, as the battery ages the battery life will decrease.

Battery Maintenance Tips:

• Remove the battery when the projector will not be used for one week or longer.

• Charge and discharge the battery by turning on the projector at least once a month.

• When storing the battery for more than a month, store it at 50% charge. The battery is at 50% charge when the battery icon has three bars.

• Do not store a fully discharged battery because it may lose the ability to be recharged.

• Do not store a fully charged battery because it may lose the ability to be recharged to full power.

3M™ Pocket Projector MPro150

Making Connections

The 3M MPro150 projector will display informational icons depending on the input device and signal being detected. If no devices or input cables are connected to the projector, the home screen will display. The 3M MPro150 was designed to operate with the 3M VGA and AV cables only.

Connecting to a Composite Video Device

Use the AV cable to input video from camcorders, digital cameras, DVD players and digital media players into the VGA-AV input on the projector.

1 Connect the AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.

2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video outputs.

Tip: Some video devices do not have the standard audio and video connections and may require an AV cable speciﬁed by the manufacturer. The AV cable allows you to connect your video device to your TV monitor or your projector and may be purchased from the video device manufacturer. Once you have the AV cable, use the cable adapters to connect the video device cable and the projector cable.

English

3M™ Pocket Projector MPro150

English

Connecting to a Component Video Device

For component video input, you must purchase the optional 3M MPro150 Component AV Cable. This cable sends a higher quality video signal for the best possible image.

1 Connect the component AV cable to the projector’s VGA-AV input.

2 Connect the other end of the AV cable to the video device’s audio and video outputs.

Important Note: There are two red connectors on the Component AV cable. One is for the right audio channel and the other is for the Pr component video signal. Be careful to connect the red audio to red audio and red video to red video. If these connectors are switched, the projected image will appear green and an abnormal noise will come from the right speaker.

Troubleshooting

The projector will not turn on.

• The battery is not properly installed, or the power adapter is not connected to the projector and a working wall outlet. Test the electrical outlet by plugging another electrical device (like a radio) into the wall outlet to conﬁrm that the wall outlet works.

• The battery is installed in the wrong orientation. See “Install Battery” on page 11.

• Attempt to remove and replace the battery.

• Hold down the power button until the projector powers up.

The status indicator is ﬂashing red when the power button is held down.

• The battery needs to be charged or reinstalled. See “Charge the Battery” on page 13.

The image is not visible or is very dim.

• The 3M MPro150 projector is a battery-operated device and requires controlled lighting conditions. The image may appear very dim in brightly lit rooms.

• Make sure the status indicator is green. This indicates that the projector is powered on and projecting an image.

• Project the image onto a ﬂat, white surface.

• Decrease the light on the surface where the image is being projected.

• Decrease the size of the image.

• When there is nothing connected to the projector, it will project the home screen.

The projector is displaying a question mark.

• The projector does not support the video or computer input signal. Switch to a signal that the projector supports. See “Supported Computer Signals” on page 51.

A computer is connected to the projector but the projector will not display the computer’s image.

• Unplug the VGA-audio cable from the projector and the home screen will display.

• Plug the VGA-audio cable into the projector and the icon in the upper-left corner of the image will display the “VGA-Audio cable” icon. See “Video Mode Icons” on page 21.

3M™ Pocket Projector MPro150

The projector is making a noise.

• The projector has a small fan for cooling the LED light source. The fan turns on and off automatically based on the projector’s internal temperature. The fan will turn on more often in warm environments or at high altitudes.

• The speakers make noise when the volume is set to high and nothing is connected to the projector audio inputs. This is typical. Reduce the projector’s volume setting to zero.

• The speakers may make noise when the component AV cable is not correctly connected to the video device. There are two red connectors on the component AV cable. One is for the right audio channel and the other is for the Pr component video signal. If these connectors are switched, the projected image will appear green and an abnormal noise will come from the right speaker.

My video device is connected to the projector but the projector will not display the video.

• Unplug the AV cable from the projector and the home screen will display.

• Plug the VGA-audio cable into the projector and the icon in the upper-left corner of the image will display the “VGA-Audio cable” icon. See “Video Mode Icons” on page 21.

• The video output on some devices is turned off by default. Please refer to the device’s documentation for details on enabling the video output.
