Introduction

Intended Use

Before operating the machine, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The 3M Multimedia Projector MP7730 was designed, built, and tested for use indoors, using 3M lamps, 3M ceiling mount hardware, and nominal local voltages. The use of other replacement lamps, outdoor operation, operation in environments containing heavy cigarette smoke 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 these symbols are shown:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not Caution 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 that could damage your eyesight.

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

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

7.If an 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. Take it to a qualified technician when service or repair work is required. Incorrect reassembly 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 the lens cap when the projector 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 prevent lamp from bursting, do not continue to use the same lamp after changing the mounting position of the projector (desktop to ceiling mount or ceiling mount to desktop mount).

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

Maintenance

Lamp

Use and Replacement of Lamp

The projector lamp has a normal operating time of approximately 1200 to 1500 hours, called the lamp life. During the normal lamp life, the picture will be bright and the colors clear. If the lamp is used beyond the normal lamp life, the picture will become dark and the colors poor. Always replace lamps with new ones. Using an old lamp in the projector could cause a malfunction. When the power is turned on, the LAMP indicator will light up red or a message will be displayed to indicate when it is time to replace the lamp. Consult your dealer.

Lamp/Temperature Status LED Indicators

Lamp Exceed Service Hours ??? When this LED lights red continuously, it is warning you that the lamp has exceeded 1500 service hours. Replace the projection lamp immediately.

CHANGE THE LAMP, AND RESET THE LAMP TIMER ??? The lamp has been operated

for 1200 hours.

CHANGE THE LAMP, THE POWER WILL TURN OFF AFTER 20 HOURS ??? The lamp has been operated for 1479 hours, and the power will turn off after 20 more hours.

CHANGE THE LAMP! ??? The lamp has been operated for more than 1500 hours, and the power will turn off automatically in 10 minutes.

All of these messages will not display for more than 3 minutes, but each message will be dis- played whenever you turn on the lamp again.

Lamp is not well attached ??? When the LED blinks rapidly, it indicates that the lamp is not attached properly.

Temperature is too high ??? When the projector???s internal temperature is too hot to operate safely, the LED blinks slowly for one minute and the lamp goes off automatically.

If the LED light is off, it means that the projector???s lamp and temperature are operating under normal conditions.

Caution

The LAMP indicator will light if the lamp becomes too hot. Turn off the power and let the projector cool for 45 minutes. Turn on. If the LAMP indicator still lights up red, please contact your dealer.

Maintenance

Lamp Replacement

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, always turn off projector and disconnect WARNING power cord before changing lamp.

1.Turn the main power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

2.Loosen screw and remove the lamp cover. If the lamp is hot, avoid burns by waiting 45 minutes until lamp has cooled.

3.Loosen three screws designated by arrows below. (It is strongly recommended to use a magnetic- headed screwdriver, if possible. Pull the handle to remove lamp housing. If the screws are not loosened completely, they could damage your fingers. Do not insert your hand into the box after the lamp is removed. If the optical parts inside are touched by hand, it could cause color unevenness, etc.

4.Replace the lamp with the new one, insert into projector, and tighten the screws. Firmly tighten the lamp screws. Loose screws may cause a bad connection, which may result in a malfunction.

5.Re-install the lamp cover and tighten the screw. Do not turn on the power with lamp cover removed. Whenever the lamp has been replaced, reset the total operation time of the lamp. Do not reset if the lamp was not replaced, as this could cause breakage.

??? Note: For maximum lamp life, do not shock, handle or scratch the lamp glass when it is hot.

Also, do not use an old or previously used lamp as a replacement lamp.

Caution

To reduce the risk of cuts to fingers and/or decreasing image quality by touching the lens, do not insert hand into the empty lamp compartment when the lamp has been removed.

This lamp contains mercury. Consult your local hazardous waste regulations and dispose of this lamp in a proper manner.

To reduce the risk of severe burns, allow the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes before replacing the lamp.

To reduce the risk of cuts to fingers and damage to internal components, use caution when removing lamp glass that has failed and shattered into sharp pieces.

Maintenance
